Sawasdee Ka!
I just finished writing a new page here at the blog… in the upper left hand side you can see it - “FREE Thai Food E-Books!”.
We decided to just give away both of our e-books for free since we’ll be able to have more people see them and enjoy them!
If you don’t know what an e-book is, it’s simply a Word file with photos and nice formatting converted into an Adobe PDF format that you can read on your computer, PDA, phone, or maybe even your watch. It makes the files easy to read on electronic readers too - you may have heard about Microsoft’s and Amazon’s new readers. They are e-book readers designed specially for reading e-books.

This recipe is very easy. I got one fresh Tilapia from Tesco Lotus and have them fried it for me (free) :p It was only 16 Baht!!! I’m so excited to get it that cheap. Haha Anyway one fish was enough for me because my husband doesn’t like anything fried.
In Thailand, we fry the fish so crunchy that we will be able to eat the bone and head. I don’t eat the head but some people do.

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^)
