Thread: Dinner

^ It looks very yellow?

Last night I had pla siwai red curry, courtesy of the gardener.

This fish passed away in the pond sometime during Wednesday night and I just admit I was a little bit nervous eating it (but I'm OK the next day).

The daughter played it safe with pork teriyaki.



It was certainly well presented.



The firm flesh seemed nice enough but all I could really taste was chilli and coconut.



Finished off with a dessert of durian.



You don't get a more Thai meal than this!

Hong thongers? Perhaps?

Clearly smarter than her father.

Prettier as well!

If you can believe that.

Nope. You have to be very carefully with loads of booze and durian when its very hot. They don't mix well. You overheat like a fuker. It can be dangerous.

Lager is fine with durian

^ I've often heard that you shouldn't mix durian with strong liquor, but always thought it was an old Thai wive's tale.

It's not a wives tale imo. I hung one on in CM years ago, 96 I think. I'd been on a three dayer with local mates and lunchtime we got 3 durian to eat and share with the bar staff early doors. I ate two pieces and 30 mins later it was like someone had switched on my central heating. Sweat was literally running from my head to toes. I had to go and sit in the bar owners shower for ages with me Mrs bringing me iced water. I've never chanced it again. Apparently in Chan they reckon mangosteen with durian counteracts this issue.

Faark. Who knew. I will avoid the durian on my next bender. Thank fook they are hard to find and expensive in Perth

Mmm...mangkut.

They might go well with the cheers beers cybil. Go for it

Not just in Chan. Nakhon Ratchasima too. Probably all over Thailand. Thai wisdom, I reckon.

Check these beauties out.

Respecto, never seen that before!

Where did you buy them?

Aldi.

I stay close to Aldi and I can tell you, it’s pretty good.

Pan fried barramundi served on a bed of mash with ratatouille and peas!



The ratatouille transformed this meal and gave it a Continental flavour.



Nice!

21 day wet aged rib eye steak, cooked medium rare with a chimichurri sauce & thin cut fries.

21 days?! Couldn't afford a fresh one?!

Is it?

Had a 4 hour transfer in Frankfurt the other night.

Not a chance am I staying in the airport.

Right out to a small town on the way into the city and straight into some Turkish food for dinner.

Hal doesn't fuck about.
