Thailand - Isaan Food at McDonald's

"'McD Namtok Rice (http://www.enjoythaifood.com/thai-food-blogs/isaan-food-at-mcdonalds.html)' which is a popular Isaan meal. For the meat, they are giving you three choices, pork, beef or chicken."

they had Chicken Teriyaki with rice for 59 baht with a drink last month,

Great for lunch :)

I just threw up a little....

Don't laugh but one of my fav meals at McDonalds is the Samurai pork burger!

KFC's 'Khao Yam Gai Saep' is awesome and has been a big seller here for years.

I tried the Mikkie D's nam tok last night and was not impressed.

When I mentioned to my wife about the McD's new food she immediately mentioned KFC's 'Gai Saep'. ;)

Nam Tok Nua (water fall beef) can be a supremely sublime dish. From a neighborhood Isaan cart one day they might have rare sirloin, warm, sour, spicy, crunchy (not too much uncooked khao niao), with mint: perfect. The next night, grisly meat of unknown origin, too much Ajinomoto, too much salt and spice.

I've asked about the name (water - fall{ing}) many times; as close as I can figure it comes from the hissing noise the fat from the beef makes as it hits the charcoal? Or someone invented it near a waterfall?

... (not too much uncooked khao niao)...

It's called khao kua and it's sticky rice that's dry fried until brown and then mashed in a mortar/pestle.

You'll find khao kua in laap and yam dap wan among other dishes.

The former.
