I’m so excited and can’t wait to post this!
So pleased that i log in my wordpress account after a 6-month-no-post period.

This week my sister has staying at my place while Ae was away for a seminar held in Ireland. Me and Noot mentioned vaguely to P’Yupin (our maid) yesterday like “oh well, we never had Nam-prik (Thai chili dip) quite sometime”. And when i got home tonight, i  found full Nam-prik-ka-pi set laying neatly on dinner table. It’s like a magic! P’Yupin went shopping for all needed ingredients, even green gumbo and egg-plant which are not that normal in typical Nam-prik-ka-pi set. (Noot also mentioned that she love gumbo and me mentioned eggplant.) And here are photos that i’m thrilling to share, especially to you Ae! I wish you were here. Don’t feel jealous okay? ;-D

Nam-prik

Nam-prik on the right surrounding by various vegetable. At the top left –> gumbo and cabbage. Top-right is Cha-om omelet. And my favorite charcoal grilled green eggplant at the bottom left.

Gumbo

Closed-up of Noot’s favorite, boiled gumbo.

Pla-too

Ahhh…. Crispy deep fried Pla-too fish. The must in every Nam-prik-ka-pi set. On the right of Pla-too are fresh cucumber and Thai local vegetable called “Ma-kue”.

Noot eating happily

Noot and her favorite gumbo. Small bowl on her right is a soup of the day (แกงจืดตำลึง). Sorry that i can’t type the name of this soup in English. Too hard to write a pronunciation for this one.

Enough for today update and thank you to P’Yupin. Your Nam-prik almost make me burst into tears (of hapiness) ha ha ha Will watch Football match Italy vs Slovenia. Thank you everybody for stopping by and reading my story. And good night to you all.

Ps. Sorry if the photos are grainy and not quite nice. I took them via my mobile phone camera since Ae has brought the compact canon with him to Ireland.
