Say hello to the ultimate Thai comfort food – a simple fried omelette, Kai Jeow, served with Sriracha, the ‘real’ one . A classic go-to dish, so under-rated, so obscure (on the international Thai food scene), so simply delicious. The widely beloved Kai Jeow is the Thai equivalent to meatloaf and mash potatoes in terms of [...]

It was a dark and stormy night… Well not yet, despite my Charlie Brown opening. However, weather.com says it’s coming, so I best be prepared. There’s nothing like a soothing cup of hot tea to make for a cozy night in. Tonight it shall be ginger tea. I keep a stash of ginger in [...]

Or perhaps this should be called “Whatever-I-had-in-the-Fridge Noodles.” Whatever the name, it was mmm..mmm good. The story is that dinnertime came and I had no idea what to make and my supplies were running low. I did have a few random ingredients leftover from other meals – some ground beef from making burgers, some jalapenos [...]

Exploding Egg was the name of the dish. I ordered it out of curiosity, but it was really the classic Thai fan-fave Pad Krapao (Basil Stir-Fry) topped with, or served over, a crispy fried egg with a slightly runny yolk. Yum. During college, our group of friends’ go-to lunch spot was an area near our [...]

Meet Pad Thai’s more popular cousin. Well, more popular in Thailand, that is. As far as stir-fry street noodles go, one could argue that Pad See U is the noodle of choice for Thailand’s lunch crowd. (Pad Thai seems to be more of a U.S. phenomenon — a delicious one nonetheless — but that’s a [...]
BBQ Ribs…Drunken or Virgin?

This past weekend marked the first BBQ of the season (weehee!), which marked an auspicious moment to try a new carnivorous recipe…or two. BBQ pork ribs seemed like a good idea for this pre-summer meat fest, plus I needed an excuse to try out a ribs recipe I had been eyeing for some time now. [...]
