This Thai chicken stir fry pairs very well with the Thai “street vendor” grilled pork (370 calories per serve) recipe and can form part of a Thai meal.

Unfortunately they decided they didn't like this because it was cooked in … Continue reading Thai chicken and vegetable stir fry
Thai fried rice is very aromatic. In my opinion, it is more flavourful than Chinese fried rice and I often have fond memories of it. When I was younger, my family used to go to Bangkok often for holidays. During these holidays, we used to stay at a motel near MBK shopping centre. I don't remember … Continue reading Thai vegetarian fried rice (659 calories per serve)
Do you know how much pumpkin is actually in a whole butternut pumpkin? A lot apparently ... after removing the skin and the seeds, I had about 1.6kg of pumpkin!

He usually comes out around lunch time but you better get in fast … Continue reading Thai grilled pork (“street vendor” style)
