What are you Having for Dinner Tonight?

[Bill Tong]

I miss tod man goong made in Thailand. Never been able to find anything similar in UK. Are they home made Shado? If so, easy to do?

[Shado]

Mrs. Shado bought the ones we had this evening, packaged by Surapon Foods (สุรพลฟู้ดส์). I think she got them at Makro. She makes fish cakes if she can find some nice bpla klai (featherback fish) but I don't recall her ever using shrimp to make the cakes. The ones we had for dinner were quite good and I asked her to get some more. The fish cakes are pretty straight forward to make but take a little time as all of the bones must be removed.

I made a horseradish cocktail sauce this evening but I usually eat them with the plum sauce (sweet & sour) like is served with popia thot (ปอเปี๊ยะทอด) = fried spring rolls. The Missus is gone right now but when she returns I confirm where she bought them. If it's different from Makro I'll let you know.

Mrs. S made gaeng khiao wan gai (chicken green curry) for dinner this evening.

That looks good. I haven’t had a curry in an age.

We decided to try Rangsit Boat Noodles which we’d seen pictures on farcebook & they looked nice. I don’t think it’s been open long.
It was very good, certainly go again

[Shado]

Kuaitiao ruea, good stuff. We sometimes get that for lunch if out and about. One of those Thai dishes that you really can't replicate at home.

Grilled cayenne & sage sausage, Welsh rabbit and bread & butter pickles. Great combo!
