Greetings from Thailand

Date September 25, 2007

Husband and I are in Thailand right now, enjoying a short vacation…so my kitchen is close. But not this blog. The coming entries I’ll try to share some photos of both the places we’re visiting (and will be visiting) and food that we’re enjoying, of course!

Our tuktuk ride from hell , it was a Sunday, a holiday too so main roads were open and quiet, the more reason for tuktuk drivers to fly the road!!

but just a quick post for now, these are shots I’ve taken on my first day in Bangkok (sunday 23rd, September) at MaHBoonKrong (MBK) shopping mall. at the lower ground of this huge shopping complex are stalls which offer some of my favorite Thai quick bites such as their famous papaya spicy salad.

    :shock: Raw crab in papaya salad? Never heard of it, but it sure sounds interesting.

    Hope you’re enjoying your Thai holiday, Thess!

    Hello Thess! Why didn’t you take me with you? :-) I would have taken care of Charlie for you if “malapit lang tayo.” Ha! Ha! Anyhoo, enjoy your vacation . . . looking forward to hearing all about it, especially the “food!” Take care and have a safe trip back!

    STEL: in the past I have tasted this salad, masarap naman lalo na hindi naman isinasama ang shell ng crab…saka pinong pino ang lasa! We went to Jim thompson museum but didn’t try their food …don’t get me wrong, nothing special naman kasi for me ..manggang hilaw, hindi pa…hinog gusto ko eh ha ha ha! shopping? i did, 5 cookbooks and more to go!! Kisses from tghailand

    MIDGE: hi Midge, thanks!

    TULIPFLUERS: ha ha ha! next time, TARA! salamat ng marami ha, lalo na sa safe trip wish…kisses from thailand and see you when I’m back in Europe..kisses for Toby too!!

    ” TALES OF KITCHEN NOVICE ” Eet Smakelijk (dutch) means enjoy your meal, that’s what we usually say around the table before starting any meal. I am an Asian married to a dutch gentleman, residing in Holland. There is no way that I’m a good cook, in fact I only started to cook few years back, in the year 1999 actually, when I gave my ‘ja’ word to the dutch gentleman on our wedding day *smile*. Now I enjoy spending time in my kitchen especially when there’s something new to try, new to experiment. here....
