【泰式粉丝虾煲】Koong Ob Woon Sen (Thai Claypot Glass Noodle With Shrimp)



泰国的粉丝煲其实比较出名的是螃蟹粉丝煲,小时候每次到泰国玩都一定要吃的一道美食,它是泰式中餐的一个代表,融合了泰国饮食和中式饮食的做法,味道特别让人惊艳!

在家做的话,虾比螃蟹方便,所以做个粉丝虾煲也好吃的不得了哦!

This Clay-pot noodle is one of my favorite Thai dishes, a must have every time we visited Thailand.

We normally ordered the crab version in the Chinese restaurants, and since I don't like to prepare crab at home, I made it the shrimp version, it is a dish full of flavor, a good blend of Chinese and Thai culinary culture, the result is very satisfying and not at all difficult to make at home!

【泰式绿咖喱】Thai Green Curry Chicken (Gaeng Khiao Wan Gai)



天气渐渐暖和了,前年种的疯柑树长得比去年更茂盛了。并没有因为藏在屋里一个冬天而停止生长,去年的香茅也还活着,我就一直想着做一次绿咖喱。自己家里磨的咖喱酱就是好吃啊!

The Kaffir Lime Tree That I planted two years back has been thriving, though it was kept indoor during the winter, it still grows like crazy....

There is no better use of Kaffir Lime leaves than In green curry....

Indian Sweets-- Rasmalai (Cheese balls in sweetened milk) 【印度奶汤圆】



I often jokingly called Rasgulla, Gulab Jamun and Rasmalai the three musketeers of Indian sweets. They are well loved by many and are part of celebrations many a time.


I have made Rasgulla many times and was always thinking of making Rasmalai at least once, the reason why I have not attempted to make Rasmalai yet is because Rasmalai has to be eaten fresh and consume as soon as possible. On the other hand, Rasgulla can be kept in the refrigerator for much longer time.


In conjunction of Diwali celebration this year, I have made Rasmalai and it turned out really good!


这个甜点在印度东部非常出名,和Rasgulla,还有Gulab Jamun齐名,都是奶香十足,香甜可口的甜点。

Rasmalai的做法和我曾经做过的Rasgulla类似,两者的区别在于Rasgulla是球形的,而Rasmalai多数是扁圆形的。Rasgulla是泡在糖水里吃的,而Rasmalai则是泡在甜奶之中的。两者皆冷食最佳。
