Thai cooking

9:00am: Thai chef Angie arrived and took us shopping on a local market. We bought all ingredients fresh for preparing a pad tai, som tum (papaya salad) & mango sticky rice for dessert for lunch. Yam!

Shopping at the market itself was already a fabulous experience: spices, fresh produce, seafood, meat, supplies and so much more! I love shopping groceries in foreign countries. There’s so much to see… (and buy).

Dried shrimps in different spice levels

Frogs!
Fish (still alive)
Fresh mangoes
Limes & Dragon fruit
Fresh pineapples

Bananas
A hungry kitten
Tofu
Lemongrass
Just a small choice of Thai sauces.
Very nicely prepared

It’s amazing to see the fresh produce that’s available at the local Asian market. That must be the reason why Thai food is soooo delicious.

Those colors!

The choice is huge… we decided for a fresh coconut milk shake to cool down for the way back. Sooo good!

Let’s start cooking!
