Sights and Tastes in Thailand
Yesterday evening Trish, Michelle, and I spent the evening together. Our normal meeting place is at Tesco Lotus at On Nut. As we walked through the food court, we saw a whole group of beautiful little Thai dancers taking turns getting their pictures taken. Trish and I asked to get a picture of one of those girls. Isn't she a doll?
From there we walked on down toward Trish's apartment, stopping for supper at an amazing restaurant called The English Pub. It is in a quiet area and is run by a retired Thai couple who couldn't quite retire just yet. The seating area is really quite small but is decorated with antique china on the walls and on shelves behind the bar. We 3 were the only customers the whole time we sat there. Trish and I shared a spinach lasagne and an order of garlic bread. That garlic bread has to be some of the best in the whole world! And the lasagne was awesome too. OH, and the fresh-made lime juice just can't be beat either. SOOO refreshing!!!
My final picture is another "khanom thai". Gop, the 10-year-old son of the manager, was sent up to give me the treat. And it really was a treat. I love coconut treats. This one needed to be eaten with a spoon. It was more of a pudding consistency in a little banana leaf bowl. Below the thickened, sweetened coconut milk was little pearl tapioca mixed with the Thai favorites: corn and even a kidney bean. But wow, was it tasty! It didn't take too long for that to disappear.
