Definitely the golden still plump and fleshy dried longans (makes for dessert or good enough as a snack), and tamarind sweets. Now that I know my aunt loves the fresh tamarind from the farmers'...

Happy Birthday, a belated one. Not much online nowadays...

You are probably in the midst of a great holiday now. Have a good one and looking forward to pics :)

Rori, I think the cost of living in Thailand is simply skyrocketing now. The middleclass and definitely the high-so :) are probably still coping well. However, it makes me wonder how those at the...

I'm shocked at the price of fresh carrots in Thailand! In Singapore, we normally get it for about S$1 (THB24)/kg at supermarkets. Are vegetables generally more expensive than meat in Thailand, for I...

Maybe we can each start with posting some of our favourite recipes. I think I may have something in mind :) Will love to know some traditional Cambodian vegetarian dishes from you, Mahin. Susana,...

Mahin, I think it is great if you can start off by posting urs ^^

That's a really good idea. What you said sounds like it can also make a good fruit rojak sauce when tamarind juice is added to the equation. Rojak sauce is always mixed with ground peanuts. In case...

Haha thanks Susana, yeah, life's been a tad too busy lately... The funny thing is, I myself too haven't used it before, but it sounds like a must-have for Southeast Asian cooking, what with it being...

Anyone here likes cooking with Indonesia's well-loved kecap manis?

Hapi bday, hav a good one

Not trying to read into the motives of ur X or anyone cos i have never known her (or you) in person.

As this interpersonal reconciliation obviously means enough to you for you to be posting...

There is an old Singaporean (probably of Chinese ethnic origin) saying that a dog can always recognize a person who has eaten his/her comrades by the smell (odour?) of dog meat permeating from that...

For that thousandYO egg, also known as the century egg, it tastes so much better if u have it with Thai sweet chilli sauce. Or, some people love it with prickled ginger slices. Anything with a bit of...

Maybe it's:

1) time for some psychotherapy (the best of us needs it at some point in our lives)
2) look for the right women in the right places

A tragic but true story:

Back in 1980s or early 1990s Singapore, there was this news in the paper that a couple of Thai construction workers died of food poisoning after making the fatal mistake...

I'm really sorry to hear that Paul. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

N u can also be guaranteed that they are pesticide free ^^

Talking about MacDonalds or dogfood or whatever, I watched a TV documentary last evening about how some slum dwellers in Philippines would gather half-eaten leftover food from the garbage bins of...

Hi,

I was wondering whether anything happened at Chiangmai or Chiang Mai Airport lately which I might not have been updated on?

Recently I was looking at some flights and noticed that Thai...

Thanks Badfish, that's a really informative video.

Thit dong looks really good. I'm wondering besides agar-agar, can we adapt it using cooked and gelled corn flour. Do you imagine the taste to go...

Rori, that was the one that I wanted!

Unfortunately they don't come in canned ones at that shop :( However, they do have the leafy kind which I have never tried with my soup before but if this...

... N I'm thinking the wifi will distract people from the beautiful sights and scenery that Chao Praya has to offer...

Today, my neighbourhood oriental store ran out of the spicy prickled mustard green stems which I always used for making my nappa cabbage soup. Disappointed, I sustituted it with tomatoes (thinking to...

Erm what's a khong khao?

That's a really good one, and oh so moving! If more people think like you, there will be hope for world peace in our lifetime (^^)

N thanks for coming back to clarify it :)

Rori, I happened to have a look at my sticky rice basket when I recently went back home on a very short trip to attend a family event, and to my delight, I found that the sticky rice basket's solid...

erm, it's too metaphorical for me 5555 =D sorry....

Which of the rivers gave you the greatest happiness then? ^^

I will vote equally for both Bill Gates and the Pope but Arnold? No way... What he did to his wife and children (and of course the baby born to his housekeeper) was just plain horrid.

For some moments, I was under the impression that David had met a member of the British royal family 555 ^^

N I have a handful of Caucasian Aussie gal-frds much younger than me (in their early to mid 20s) who intentionally made spelling, typo and grammar mistakes when chatting with me and others online. So...

I guess that this brings us to the question: are the people who post "me and my mates want to teach English" making an honest mistake or are they posting that way to make themselves come across as...

Personally, I will think it depends on where they are posting it. If it's on a forum like this, I frankly will just think they are being laid-back and friendly and not try to read anything too much...

Yeah, it's scary. One time they ate half of my frd's goldfish away and the poor thing was still alive, moving miserably in the water.

The reason I did not list eating is that I once got so unhappy that eating my fav food (which previously always used to do the trick) could not work for that moment. But feeding animals did :)

Ian I think what you quoted is all so true. Last year, I developed this pretty strong feeling for a local (Aussie) guy who is a couple of decades my senior. We both got on really well and he likes...

Or maybe they are simply writing it the way it is the online trend but not necessarily speaking or writing that way when teaching.

It's my favourite temple to go to whenever I'm in BKK. N yes, this article leaves me wondering where does all the money go to?

:) Hapi pigging out

:) hahaha I didn't know about the song til then.. will go check it out guys... nice one, David, for quoting its lyrics...

Yes, I LOVE vegemite (and many of my Asian and Middle Eastern...

Jaggery is the 'best' form of sugar or so they say.

Vegemite is sooooo Aussie!!! Because of it, I will now think of the recipe as fusion. Yes, fusion of Aussie Barbie and Thai style haha!

Bassai, actually I really like the look of the guesthouse - it has a really nice, traditional, old-world rustic, homely feel. Too bad about the water, though... Just wondering: if the guests decide...
