Thai Festival

Today we went to the annual (=once every year) Thai Festival in Sakae. It was pretty busy when we arrived at 2pm, & was still busy when we left at about 5pm. It seems very popular!

I tried a few different Thai dishes - fried thai noodles, chicken with basil & chilli, boiled chicken with rice, deep-fried marinated pork strips, spicy papaya salad, deep-fried banana, & of course some Singha beer. Mmmmmm... it was all delicious.

Maybe you`re not interested, but beer Singha beer used to be 6.0% alcohol content, but now (since 2007) it`s 5.0%. I think it tastes better. Beer Chang (`Elephant Beer`!) is 6.4%, but ONLY in Thailand - if you buy it in Japan, it`s 5.0%!

There were various performances on stage e.g. Thai dancing, J-pop, traditional Japanese instrumental, & when we were leaving, they were preparing for a kids` Muay Thai demonstration. I didn`t wait to see it though. If I want to see kids fighting, I can just tell my students I`ve hidden candy in my classroom.

Yes - one reason I never drank Chang beer when I lived in (or visited) Thailand was because the alcohol content was so high - dangerous in such a hot country! I was surprised to learn it is made weaker for other countries.

Thai food is famous for being very spicy, but actually, there are many delicious dishes which are not spicy e.g. boiled chicken on rice, or noodles with soup & red pork, or stewed pork on rice; even young children & New Zealanders can eat these dishes.

The Spicy papaya salad sounds interesting. We have been making paw-paw salad lately, initially from Araya's recipe. Somewhat bland, but it came good with some extras like tomato and crushed peanuts.

But hold the fish sauce!
