If it’s available for sale, it must not only be edible, but also appetizing to someone. That’s what I eat by, and that’s what I’ve subscribed to for years.

Like all good things in Thailand, Tau Suan (เต้าส่วน) comes wrapped in a plastic bag. I’m not much of a Thai desserts eater, but every now and then a plate of mango sticky rice (or even better with durian), or in this case a baggie full of tau suan (เต้าส่วน) hits the spot. What is this [...]

I’ve sampled a quite a few variations of Asian shaved ice treats throughout my travels. Some of them have been good, others not so much. Thailand’s shaved ice mixture, known as nam kang sai, is not something I eat often, but it definitely is a refreshing treat from time to time. The basic construction of [...]

I didn’t become a Thai food fanatic in Thailand. No sir-reee, I caught jungle-curry fever while I still lived in the US.
