As I haven’t really got any thing new to say, I thought I’d start posting images of my life in Thailand. Here’s the first of many (I hope). These were taking this afternoon when I went out for dinner.
Typical Thai cafe offering Thai dishes. You can just about make out the fresh produce in the glass display cabinet: I love that :)
I’m no expert on English grammar but who thinks this should read “as soon as he can talk, he’ll listen”?
Steak with whole roasted garlic and mushrooms at Zen, a very good Japanese restaurant chain.
Oysters.
This is by far the best curry I have ever had in Thailand. It’s a weird combination, a fried pork cutlet in bread crumbs, potato, carrot, pork meat and onion all topped with a delicious curry sauce.
Unripe mango that is very sour along with a selection of fishy chilly dips. Sour mango with fish infused chilly dip doesn’t sound that nice, but it’s actually pretty darn good!
A close up of the different chilly dips on offer.
I’m a sucker for desserts, but Thai desserts (Kanom) don’t really do it for me: apart from 2 that o’ so near perfect! The first is Mango (ripe) with sweet sticky rice and coconut sauce followed by the above: kanom bueng. They are normally a bit smaller than those in the photo and they consist of a pancake like dough which is spread really thin over a flat grill, topped with a marshmallow like substance and coconut meat – the orange stuff – although it hasn’t really got a strong coconut flavor. If you ever visit Thailand and see kanom bueng for sale (street side) I highly recommend giving these babies a go!
Hey Chris, its a very nice blog you have there. Thanks a lot for dropping a comment over at my blog. As for the picture with the baby on a billboard, I think there is no problem with the grammar it is just that they are kind of showing importance to children ( I Guess), this is just what I think. Keep up the good work!
you do not feel sorry a little bit with me. showing all this mouth watering dishes, while i am back in switzerland. love your blog….very nice……but i feel sad not to be able such dishes right now.
keep weel and enjoy
That breaded and fried pork cutlet is a Japanese dish called “Tonkatsu” and is usually served with a mild curry as shown, called “Vermont Curry” or served with a Tonkatsu sauce which is a like a cross between a fruit sauce and steak sauce. Traditionally the cutlet is breaded with “Panko” flakes.
