That looks and sounds great! I might take you up on that lunch some day, looks like we're going to either Vegas or New Jersey first next year. I've been to Thailand over 20 years ago, wasn't that much into food, naive about it, ignorant even. Went to a McDonalds in Chang Mai once, so happy to have found fries. Mistake we made is go to fancy hotel restaurants instead of small local or street food, everything was so cheap already. I remember chewing on a steamed stick of lemongrass or something from a Thai steamboat in an otherwise large empty restaurant in Bangkok with two staff members who brought the food standing ten feet from our table, proudly watching us in anticipation. I looked at my wife and was like "so this is thai food huh?". Should have picked one of the many tiny places with smoke and steam coming out of the entrance.It's easier here in Los Angeles, I just go to the local Thai Market and they deal with making sure they have the legitimate versions because most restaurants buy from Thai Town. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_Town,_Los_Angeles
If you ever get here don't miss this little hole in the wall near the Bangluck Market

get the crispy pork so good! and let me know I'll meet you and buy you lunch
Did eat a lot of meat and sea food on a stick from street vendors in the south later on but we mostly went to a small place, always packed, where a Thai lady cooked the best chili con carne. Actually, I got a pic of the sign... this is the one:

Took us quite a few years to figure out we messed that up holiday food-wise. Was still awesome though, 1 month felt like 3 and as usual got myself into a lot of unusual situations.

This came out so good, after a whole bunch of spices and ketjaps, trassi, onion and garlic and sambal I still smell the rice through all that.
Chicken
Got new plates! XL heavy risotto plates.
The Turkish butcher I go for chicken is a clever guy, largest section just next to the meat is baklava. Chicken so much better priced and better quality than grocery chain but you have to walk twice past the baklava which makes it really hard not to get a couple of pieces.

I was going through their pics and amazed how little it seems to have changed. Floor does look post-tsunami, which hit a few years after we were there. Not sure yet when we’re going to the US, earliest in April but could be late summer. We got family in New Jersey who may come over first but if they don’t we may have to go there instead.

Step 3: Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat; add garlic and sauté until tender, like the patch of upper-lip hair that you’ve had lasered off multiple times but that keeps growing back because you can’t erase your heritage.

I really have to agree with him....Italian cooking is all about keeping it basic & simple.
Gordon should know better as he apprenticed under Marco Pierre White, who is a firm believer in taking 5 ingredients and make them shine.

More fried rice, this time pan fried (in olive+sunflower+sesame oil and sweet and spiced ketjap and red onion) + coriander, s&p, cardemom, chili, bit sambal, garlic and ginger, piment, rice vinegar,) with cauliflower and wild salmon. Sauted the salmon steaks prior. Skipped the trassi else it gets too fishy imo.

Do You Need to Rinse Your Rice?
It depends on what sort of rice dish you're cooking.
