The pros and cons of eating out
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 18/08/2019
» I am often asked which one is better and cheaper -- cooking at home or eating out. Some people are wondering why food shops and noodle shops sell the same dishes at different prices. In the meantime, many are figuring out the operating cost of restaurants to compare with the cost of home cooking.
Making a good meal start at home

» Why do people in Bangkok rely mostly on food from vendors or restaurants? There are multiple answers to this. Some spend most of their time on the road. Cooking is not allowed in some apartments and condominiums. Hoarding ingredients like meat and vegetables is too complicated for some. Others have no cooking experience. Or believe it's a waste of time. Some think it costs more to cook at home than dining out.

» 'Roadside warriors" is a great title for the intrepid vendors that cook food-to-order at stalls and shops beside many roads and lanes in every province throughout Thailand. But not all who buy their food hold it in high esteem. Many customers don't really like this kind of eating and settle for it only when they have no other option.
Grills and Thrills

All you had to do was get the stove ready, put in some dried coconut husks as fuel, set the fish on the grill and cover them with banana leaves. The banana leaves kept the smoke inside so that it would flavour the fish and also stopped the breeze from blowing directly onto the coconut husks and making them burst into flames.
