First dish of the day was coconut milk and chicken soup. I won’t rehash all the details but I will pass on two very sage pieces of advice the chef passed over to me.
Thai deep fried fish should be crispy on the outside and succulent and firm on the inside.
To balance out this terrible feast of hellfire and brimstone preparations we had a simple Thai dish: spicily fresh and zesty green papaya salad (Som Tam Talay).
This is without a doubt one of the simplest desserts I’ve ever made but it was delicious. Simply add the chopped banana to heated coconut milk and add lots of crushed ice.
