My Taste of Love

Lovely meal on my way to countryside. A cozy restaurant   :-)
Thai people love to see a fish sauce as a side dish in every meal.
We don't actually drink alcohol with regular meal but fruit juice.

Then, a homie salad I made before the main course at home. 
We love our salad in western style but we had it with Japanese salad dressing.

Here are two dishes made from my friends' I believe everyone loves to 
feel that we had a home-made foods from a mom of our friends :-) 
Many Thai advertisement put this feeling to the theme since the past.



Japanese dishes from small restaurant around the country are pretty much the same.
Well, the better taste means paying more...

Little Coin Pockets

Little pocket is acting like a duck I would call haha!! 
It comes with three size together with S, M, L.
Love the way the designer creates for the opener
or probably because its great material.
Originally, the material was prepared for ready-to-sew.
Today, I could find its material in a big sheet to cut myself.
Definitely, it's a lot cheaper.

With its sizing, I prefer to have it as 
a wedding souvenir, 
a Christmas gift,
an organizer,
or even a showcase for new learner to saw :-)

Here is another local designer product from one of the Gift exhibition.
Look at the name, logo, product, and packaging!!
This shop normally make to order either for export or premium.

I found there a lot of great designer, great work in Thailand these days. 
Many exhibitor produce their products to Japan and European countries.

This pack of stationery gift could be a wonderful gift for a friend.
I would love to buy it for a New Year gift for my subordinator :-)

Everyone Loves Cupcakes


What made a perfect image?

Fortune or For Facts



              FOR FACTS
              Once in a while, I have roses at home.
              It's a gift from a friend of my sister-in-law. NOT for my own.

              Whatever, it lights me up. I feel like my house it's full of love. 
              Here is the end of my weekend!!!



              FORTUNE
              I captured this figure from my friend Instagram just because I disagree with this formula.
              What do you think?  Many friends told me that they agree with it.

              For me, I think...
              LOVE + SEX = Complicated
              NOT a COUPLE
              How about you?

Talking to Thai Summer Fruit


Fruit Seasoning...
Summer comes, fruit surround!!!

Pineapple is one of my favorite fruit, 
BUT I have never known there are male and female.
Male pineapple is a bit more crispy and sour.
Female is crunchy and sweeter.

Here is female pineapple. 
Does the farmer knows it by heart?
Nop, they knock to check it out. Sounds easy, right?
But I don't think so...



Don't surprise about the skin!!!
I learned that those were bite from bees :-0
It's not bad at all.
That made grapefruit sweeter.
Yes, you have to pay a bit more for a better quality.

Test the Taste of Rice Noodle


When I heard of the name, rice noodle,
I would think of Vietnamese dish. 
There are different kinds of rice noodle
and in this post it's special flour made from
some plain rice mixing with sticky rice.

Traditionally, Thai people in northern eastern parts have it
on their special occasion.
Even though the original dish was from Vietnam,
Many Thais can find it in;
Northern part,
Nothern eastern part,
and Southern part,
as there are three kinds of soup that you would find.



Today, we can find them all at local fresh market or food court.
Yes, it's another dish of fast food in Thailand.
What do we have it with Som-Tum.


I only can finish a set of rice noodle and soup with a lot of vegetable on top.
What I am going to share is just simply ask for two different types.
Sounds strange? But you'll get to love it.

Here! there are making the rice.
I found this shop at a local fresh market.


       It's last for day or two.
The good way to keep it is putting in the refrigerator
or buy it just about the portion you could handle it.


The  process is pretty similar of boiling spaghetti
Cold water in the big pot will keep the noodle cool down 
and set in line nicely.

......A New Baby

                               Once upon a time...
                               We got to have a new family member. 


    My mom lost one of her beloved dog, Bai-Tery. 
    (Bai-tery is a kind of leaf that traditionally uses to boil 
and serve as a special drink for guest)
    We had her for almost 14 years.  

    Now, it's time for 'someone' new.  Here she is...LORA...
    We gave the name from one of the star 
from one of the popular soap opera that our mom loves.
    Is she cute, look gentle, ... 
Yes, she is very adorable and friendly. 
    Today, I am not sure what is the best definition to describe her.
She is more than friendly...cheerful...
    ..........
    ...
    Finally, we found out the word. NAUGHTY!!! 
way way too much happy...
    Please stay tune to see how she will treat us at home :-)

My Fav Dishes from Bkk - Pattaya




Pizza!!!!
They were the great mix of anchovy and artichoke :-)
Very nice!!!

This reminded me of my greek friends.
They taught me how to eat a fresh artichoke
 and
fresh salad in Mediterranean style.
What's a wonderful moment!!


A cup of coffee on my way to Pattaya.
Not a well-known brand
but
taste great!!

Lovely foam
great smell of coffee bean
wonderful caramel :-)
Thought it's only Lavazza coffee is the best.
Not anyway!!!
I think I need to explore the world more.



Regular foods
we could think of at night :-)
I love to have it with regular congee.



Ramen noodle!!!
A little bit spicy but I can handle it.
