I cooked a Kuala Lumpur/Bangkok hawker-stand dinner tonight! |
|
I grilled chicken, in the KL style, with tamarind/lime/cilantro .. plus Vietnamese fish sauce (nouc mam), garlic, ginger, basil, etc.! I made a bodacious Thai green papaya salad: shredded papaya and carrots, ripe tomatoes, green beans slivers, dried shrimp, and a sauce of tamarind pulp, lime juice, cilantro, fish sauce, palm sugar syrup, pulverized garlic, and MoFo dried Thai chili peppers.
All I lack is some durian custard for desert. Ah .. durian!

1. Durian is the fruit that smells like poo or old vomit or something like that. |

The meal sounds wonderful, though. What are MoFo dried chili peppers?
I had some durian ice cream at a Thai restaurant once. It was... different.

You can smell a durian stand a block away. BUT .. it tastes good. I first had it in jungle survival school in the Philippines on my way to Viet Nam. They told us: NEVER EAT DURIAN RAW! I later had durian ice cream in Singapore .. quite nice.

5. Maybe for our next lunch we should hit one of those Vietnamese restaurants. |
|
A bowl of pho would be good.

I tried it recently. In Melbourne there's a nice place called Es Teler 77. From there I tried Mee Goreng (not sure on the spelling). Also there's different forms of this food. The only thing I know for sure was that I enjoyed it immensely.
