4. Throw together tomatoes, onion and celery. Next, pour sauce from step 2 and serve with boiled plain rice.
Last week, my colleague got went back home in Chaiya, Surat Thani where it is famous for salted eggs. Her family owns a business selling salted eggs in the area by Suam Mohk, meditation center. When she came back to work, we all got 1 small box of salted duck eggs with OTOP logo. (This OTOP logo means “One Tumbon One Product”- good quality). 
I promised to her and the girl working at the shop next door that I will cook ยำไข่เค็ม (Yum Kai Kem) for them if we share all ingredients cost. They gave me 10 Baht each so I got 30 Baht total. That’s enough for this recipe as we already had 6 salted eggs from my friends. I finished it with big praise for myself by myself! haha :P
I was so sad that day I didn’t have the camera with me and I don’t know when will be the next time until I cook again.

Why our Tiger is crying??? - - - (>_<)- - - -
One upon a time, our Tiger is the king of the forest (sort of).
He loves to hunt for a cow.
Once he caught one cow, he would jump to the chest part first as it was the most testy piece of all.
“It was sweet and so soft”, the tiger said.
When it’s time for the human go hunting in the forest, crazy human love the chest part too!!
So, whenever Tiger saw the dead cow with its chest part already taken or when he was thinking
about human is eating the cow chest, he cried so hard as it was also his favorite.
Poor Tiger…..
Hehe (^v^)
