We ate much more than our fair share I think, heehee :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Em Dy! If you eat the street food it'll probably come out even cheaper than Mcdo and Kentucky!

Meanwhile, let's go to Benjarong (in Dusit hotel) one of these days...it's pretty good and they "imported" a Thai chef :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Thess! Yes, please post about it! I'd love to read about your adventures there :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Nabeela! It truly was amazing! And one of the best parts is that, since the street food is so good, it doesn't have to come at such a high price tag :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Midge! Thanks! :) The food was indeed "all that"! I have to read "Comfort me with Apples" now...I read "Tender at the Bone" but haven't gotten to Apples yet :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Maybahay! I hear ya!

I really want to go back now :) Sigh...until then I am off to Fully Booked to get a good Thai cookbook and I'm going to do my best to replicate everything I had (and also those I didn't get the chance to try!) :)<BR/><BR/>Hi M! Wow! The som tam with the tiny oysters sounds amazing! I am determined to try and make some som tam here...we have green papaya too (atsara!)!
