My Dream Space

What is a wonderful world to live in our dream space...
I found my dream space from a Thai magazine, baan-lae-suan.
Let's look at a long table.  I have dreamed about it for years and still want to get one some days. The concrete wall is about fashion design for home office, but in this design I really love the style. Bed and other home decors just about to tell, it's me.  I got into it and totally continue my dream space in my mind. What do you think?

Tuk Tuk!!


Westerner probably knows Thailand through their own experiences, friends, other tourists, etc. Here is one thing that could introduce itself once they step in to the road around the heart of Bangkok, Tuk Tuk!!

I found this model on the side road. A local artist made it just to recycle a can of beer he saw every where around him.

I don't go for charity that much but I love to support the people who think good and do great stuff. And here is another chance. As well, I pass this nice stuff to my friends across a country just to tempting them to see me in Thailand or visiting me again. Hope they like my gifts.

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.

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.
