Thai Southern style fried chicken ไก่ทอดหาดใหญ่
This very well known dish is called “Kai Tod Hard Yai” ไก่ทอดหาดใหญ่ by Thai people. The chicken is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and you can taste the marinaded herbs deep inside next to the bone. Very succulent! This dish is often served topped with fried onions. The recipe is shared by my friend “Penny”, who is a real Southern Thai girl. I thanks her for the beautiful and yummy recipe.

Son-In-Law Eggs ไข่ลูกเขย
Son-In-Law Eggs (deep-fried boiled eggs, topped with a sour & sweet tamarind sauce) ไข่ลูกเขย This dish has a curious name, and there is probably a story behind it. In the version I heard, a mother-in-law cooked a dish with bitter vegetable dip with sweet & sour tamarind sauce, but the son-in-law didn’t like the taste of the bitter vegetable. Being a good mother-in-law she had to create another dish for him, which was deep fried boiled egg topped with the leftover sauce. After that inventive creation other people in the family tasted it and were impressed, leading to the dish becoming popular around the country:-) would you like to try it? You will need…

Street vendor food in my kitchen
One of the good things about living in Thailand is that we can find food on almost any street corner at any time of the day or night. The food is not only delicious, but it is also plentiful and cheap. I think we are spoilt in having such easy access to Thai food. Living abroad does not stop me from having delicious street food, in fact when I make it at home I can ensure that it is fresh and clean.
I would like to present some of the dishes I have created that you can also find being sold by street vendors in Thailand.
My first dish is grilled pork on a stick with sticky rice.(ข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้ง) I sometimes used to have this for breakfast, sometimes lunch and sometimes for dinner. It means you can eat it any time of the day:-). To make it, marinade thinly sliced pork overnight. The next day just put it on the stick and grill it. Serve it with sticky rice and hot chilli dipping sauce.
