In Thailand you come across food pretty much anytime and everywhere. Street food is one example where you can find a variety of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with collections of snacks. There is one Thai snack that I really like called “Kanom Kai nok kra ta” which refers to fried sweet potato balls.

Every Sunday afternoon at around 4pm at the fresh food market near my home, every shop will start to discount their products as they will be closed on Monday and Tuesday. I go there sometimes and usually get a lot of things at a very good price. It is also a good time to try something that I haven’t tried cooking with. If I like the new ingredient that is good, if not I only paid a little bit and have no regrets.
Last week I went there and got a bag of “Sand whiting fish” there were 3 fish in the bag for only $5. I brought it home and tried to think what to do with them. With other ingredients that I got I created the dish called “Pad Phed” which is spicy stir fry. Spicy stir fry can be used with many types of protein such as chicken, pork, beef and fish.
This dish might look very normal but I would still like to share it with you.
A can of sardines in tomato sauce is usually useful when you have other meat left over in your fridge. I always have it in the cupboard along with packets of vermicelli noodle.

There are many Vietnamese foods that have been popular in Thailand since long ago and Thai people have adapted them to their way. This Vietnamese pancake is the Thai version.

It’s been a while since my last post on this blog. However I still do a lot of cooking and keep posting my food on another social network. Writing the blog in English involves a bit of time for me as many of you know I’m from non English speaking background, and I want to make sure it all make sense for you.
Also many times when I cook I don’t really measure it, that’s why it is hard to write down the recipe to show you.
A few days ago I went to my friends house and met some of her extended family and friends. They all know about my blog and kept asking when I am going to upload a new recipe. Knowing that they are interested in what I am doing gives me inspiration. So today let’s start with an easy recipe “Grilled chicken lemongrass”

This is a simple meal and very famous in Thai food lunch stalls. As you might know many Thai foods contain chilli, and this dish being much milder explains why it is loved by kids and adults less enthusiastic about chilli.
