Thai food is my life line....

I'm a little obsessed with food if you couldn't tell! This is last nights dinner...my absolute fav dish on the planet (even though it's not spicy) is Pla Tom (literally Boiled Fish). Sounds boring as hell but oh my, how I could just drink the stuff by the gallon! It's the yellow, watery looking dish in the photo (the orange globs are fresh cumin). Some restaurants make it bland and blah, but J's aunty's restaurant is ooh la la! It's sweet, sour and something I just can't put my finger on, but oh how it makes me quiver...also on show is the famous Fish Gut Curry (Nam Kuey), the lovely brown goop which is super spicorama, fried fish, chilli dip (Nam Prik), stir-fried vege, and fresh raw vege (for dipping and palate cleansing). This is the normal Thai style way of eating every meal with all separate dishes. It would be so strange to go back to one plate dinners now!

How much for this fine array of deliciousness? $1.90 (50 baht) by today's currency conversion of the Aussie dollar!! Love love love village living...
