We had walked by Hard Rock Cafe on one of our many jaunts to and from the night markets in the area. They seemed to have amazing bands playing so we finally decided to dine there on Monday night. It’s your typical themed restaurant. Living in Los Angeles, we’re quite familiar with the chain but are not frequent diners as it’s more of a novelty and not quite a foodie feast.
Being a bit nostalgic for home and wanting to hear a great band, we headed to the restaurant after our first full day of massage school and cooking school. My husband complained of stomach issues the day after but I had not experienced any since I barely ate any food having eaten quite a bit at my 6 course cooking class. However, I ate my pulled pork and chicken leftovers this afternoon and I have suffered the same fate.
As those who follow my blog or can see from my Instagram postings, we have eaten at some very rustic street stalls during our time so far in Chiang Mai. I cook quite a bit for us back home and am in cooking school for the week.
This inferior and unsafe quality of food should not be allowed to be served to people and should be reported to prevent others from suffering the same fate.
For the ridiculous amount of money we paid compared to local standards, this poisonous food is unacceptable and criminal. We’ve eaten at more humble and rustic settings cooled off only with fans, paying 550 baht for dinner and no stomach issues.
We have plans tonight so I’m hoping that this won’t affect our dinner and show but I felt it my civic duty to shield others from harm’s way.
