Corn Pudding

The main sweet favor from this recipes is corn.
It is important to pick the right corn and cook it properly to get the best crunchy and sweet juice of corn. On top with coconut milk to get a good combination favor at the end.

Fresh Spring Roll

Fresh Spring Roll with Peanut Sauce. I think this appetizer is the most easy and healthy for
people who love to eat fresh vegetable. The stuffing is any vegetable or meat you like - for the one I made are lettuce, green onion, carrot, cucumber,mint,vermicelli noodle and shrimp. Fresh Spring Roll can serve either with sweet sauce or peanut sauce.

Beef Salad

Salad in the US means lettuce and vegetables that is the start of the meal, but for Thai people salad - called "Larb" - can be the main dish of the meal. Most of the Thai salids have prawns, chicken, pork, or beef with the rice and side of vegetables such as cucumber. One of most popular salids is Pork Salad or " Larb Moo" in Thai, but for today I will make it with organic ground beef. The salad sauce is made with a combinations of sweet, spicy and sour ingredients and is the most popular dish for the North East Part of Thailand.

This was the reopening of my Cooking Class after recovering from falling down the stairs. The seven students were great and we had a lot of fun learning how to make Tom Yum Shrimp, Pad Thai and Mango Sticky rice. We also learned how to make the popular drink -Thai Ice Tea. It was a special night for one of the students, Eric who was celebrating his birthday, so we surprised him with a chocolate cake. After cooking we stuffed our selves with food and drink. Before we knew it 3 hours had passed, but to get everyone moving again I gave them a bit of dance lesson to get some exercise - starting slow with a Waltz then speeding up with some Cha Cha Cha and Salsa. I think I may have had even more fun than the students!

Krabi, 2011

Trip to Krabi was tough for me because of my foot problem but it didn't stop me to go out and had fun with my friends as you see in the pictures. Krabi is the island in South of Thailand where you can find the clear water and stunning view of the beach. The interesting thing we saw was the water after 4 pm., the water in the middle of the beach go down into two side. It made the trail for people can walk across to difference side of the beach as you can see in the picture on the left of the bottom line. People are very nice and best seafood. I would love to go back but next time with the good function of my foot:)

Cooking with mom

When I was visiting my mom in Thailand, she showed me some secret recipes:).
Those are very good for four dished that I love to share with you.

"Nam Prik Ong"
It is popular paste original from the North of Thailand.
Although, it is a one type of chili paste but is not spicy.
The most appealing for the dish is from fire the ground chili with the hot oil just a minute to put the last thing for the ingredient..
Sever with a lot of vegetable on the side..






It is the easiest food I ever made!!! It call "Kei Tun"
It made from steam egg mix with any kind of meat and Thai seasoning.









I learn this one because of my husband like this noodle from Thai restaurant in SF. We call dry noodle
which is the main food for lunch in Thailand.
You can put on top with any kind of meat ball but today put pork ball. It look like "Pho" which is Vietnamese noodle dish with bean sprout is good combination..





Hot pot for big prawn cover with the seasoning silver noodle. The smell of ginger underneath of the pot melt it into the prawn and noodle make it very tasty.
Sever with the seafood sauce actually the best way to eat..Yumm

Brithday 2010!!!

This is my thrid time for me to celebration my birthday in US. It is kind of interesting thing for me to see how my life have been changing living in US. Of course, the party still a lot of Thai food and Dancing!!!.
More than that, the party won't be fun without the people who want to share my happiness. Thanks for all of you who joined me and hope to see you again next year.

Reunion cooking class!!

Reunion is the best thing I would love to have all the time. This time is my chance to show them how to cook Thai food. Thank you family who brave to have Thai food for the first time and hope I didn't ruin my Thai food reputation:). This is might be the biggest group for me to make Thai food for 17 peoples. It is not easy if I am doing myself but this is very good team work preparing all the ingredient which is the best way for them to learn all the Thai ingredient and seem everyone having fun.

Lisbon & Sintra- Portugal

Portugal looks very similar to San Francisco-hills, cable car and the bridge but how people live totally difference. A lot of museum and Gothic Cathedral. A dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets where people have a coffee time in the afternoon because of hot weather and nice sitting area in the night time for dinner as well. Sintra is a small town far from Lisbon just 30 minute by train where you can see fabulous Pena Palace and the town is a 19th century romantic architecture.

Madrid &Toledo -Spain

Madrid is my favor for this trip in Spain because of variety of food and everything are interesting close to each other , so I was able to see thing by just walking around the city. Another place you should visit when you go to Madrid is Toledo where you can see the phenomenal view of the city which is not too far one hour drive from Madrid.

Granada-Spain

Granada is a little town one hour fight from Barcelona. The best Flamenco Show ever if you want to feel Flamenco in the real way- I would recommence to the Zambra. La Alhambra also is the fantastic place that you shouldn't miss when you come to Granada.If you are the type of person who don't like crowed people and want to come to Spain, Granada would be the first choice for you.

Barcelona-Spain

Spain is land for of the art. The building are interesting and a lot of thing to see - esp Gaudi Architecture. When I was there, the weather is perfect not too hot but it was too many people even though the summer almost over. It is unusual for me to have dinner late but for this city I have too because people start go out after 8 pm.

Food in Spain and Portugal

Getting around from Spain to Portugal from this trip found a lot of good food and dessert. Of course from Spain where is famous about tapas!!!! especially in Barcelona -the fusion of bar and snacking is the best way to experience a wide range of Spain's traditional food at one time. Granada served the best paella and are the best accompanied with wine. The best for this trip I will give to the tortilla espanola ( Spanish potato omelet) and a couple slice with ham form the market where I can try all the food around in one place. Down to Portugal where you can find the best seafood and pan rice with any kind of seafood was very interesting taste. Trying difference of food on the trip is my favor things and I belive you feel the same way!!!
