One night at our guesthouse, one of the Thai guests, Ann from BKK, organized - and cooked for - a surprise birthday party for the owner, Sopa. It was a lot of fun.
The food was amazing and included raw Chinese cabbage and yard-long beans, spicy nahm phrik and "drinking food" consisting of chopped red onions, lime, chillies, roast cashews and dried shrimp. (You take one of each of these in your hand for one gulp and then wash down with beer or whiskey.) There were 3 guests from China, one from Norway, one Québécois, two more Canadians, a few Americans, several from France, several Thais plus Sopa and her husband. Ann cooked hot green curry with chicken, stir-fried veggies, banana blossom salad, rice, noodles, sauces, melt-in-your-mouth brined fish and a blueberry cheesecake.
