This afternoon , I had lunch with a few guest from Bangladesh. The name of the restaurant is Golden Triangle and it carries the same name as the drug infested area between China, Burma and Thailand.
The food have a Cambodian, Thai and Burmese flavor but it is basically Thai style of cooking. We ordered otak2 , soft shell crap, steam fish, kai lan vegetable, mango mixed and chicken. I have been to this restaurant a few times but recently, I was not there for a long period. The food have been excellent but it is abit pricey.
Going back into history why the name of the drug infested area is called the " golden triangle". It was highlighted by some journalist that the area is full of poppy plant which is the basic ingredient for opium and other drugs. The area is controlled by a warlord who have his own private armies to control the growth and the supply of opium to the global market.
There are also stories of connection of this warlords with the high ranking generals in Burmah, Thailand and Chiina. In the drug business, all the arrangements are very dark and suspicious.
Nevertheless, the restaurant ahve no dealings or connection with the drug infested zone but both are well know in their own " consumables".
Namaste.
