Today, I picked what I want to eat I wrote about it. Too bad I didn’t have chance to cook any food yet, or I will run to the kitchen and cook it right now. To everyone who is away from home (Thailand), I bet you miss this food.
The best Gwit Jab is in Ubon Ratchathani I assure you!! If you haven’t tried the one in Ubon Ratchathani, don’t give the first place to anywhere yet!!
Note from Vern: The pig parts (heart, liver, intestine, lungs) are optional of course…
