"Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar..."


Soi 3 off Sukhumvit Road has a bunch of Egyptian, Indian, Pakistani, and North African restaurants. We checked out Neferiti, an Egyptian place. After stuffing ourselves on naan bread, Syrian salad (suspiciously similar to tabouli), hummus, lamb, and curry, we tried smoking a hooka: flavored coals placed on top of the hooka cooled through the water pipe. You're not supposed to inhale, and it doesn't give you a high. It's just a nice-smelling apple-flavored smoke (in which I quickly lost interest).
