Lemongrass Grilled Pork I have to admit, I didn’t actually eat this one, mainly because I walked past it at Bang Nam Pheung floating market after I had just finished a snacking meal feast. However, the aroma coming off this pork put me into a trance. I could detect lemongrass and ginger as it sizzled [...]

The orange bus hurled into the bus stop at Dao Kanong, to a breeze that carried that very familiar scent: Durian. Even though on this sleepy Sunday afternoon I had no plans to get off the bus there, I found myself unable to control the fact that I was stepping out of the vehicle and [...]
