It's great 2 be loved!

And I was thinking about you. But not with M. You know what I mean, ha ha ha.

Sylwia

[img_assist|nid=78473|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=220|height=146]

Sylwia ... oi ... i have dropped you a PM ... and actually was thinking about you and M. xxx

Yes, you said you can go out with me... wonder why that is :)

If M babysits of course I'm free! What do you suggest?

Sylwia

[img_assist|nid=78473|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=220|height=146]

Right ... looking forward for another night out then ... R u free next Friday?

They will babysit your children for you, so you can enjoy your meal or whatever you're doing. They want to make sure you come back to their country and don't regret being there. I have been in a different country but the Thai people has got a special attitude and really very pleasant people indeed! That's why when people try to say something negative about them! I'll just tell them "Please! if you don't know them and haven't been to Thailand, don't say anything bad because they are lovely and great people!"

It's great 2 be loved!

Was free a night before, could have come then ;P

Sylwia

[img_assist|nid=78473|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=220|height=146]

Sylwia , you should come with me on that Thai pre-event night !!!

They were very nice indeed. Always helpful and they love children, would give my kids sweets, milk, juices, just because they wanted to please them! Amazing.

Sylwia

[img_assist|nid=78473|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=220|height=146]

Tom Yam Kung

Not only tasty but with medicinal properties. By SuwanThada

If you ask any foreigners who have ever visited Thailand about their favourite Thai food, their answers, almost without exception, will be tom yam kung.

Tom yam kung, or spicy shrimp soup, is the number one of the top ten Thai dishes loved by foreigners, according to a recent investigation. And in fact, it is one of the most favourite dishes for Thai people as well. It is simply because it is so delicious for its unique sour and spicy taste that you will certainly need it more and more if you try it just once.

Thai food generally not only provides a wonderful taste but also includes medicinal properties in its herbal ingredients as well. Tom yam kung is one of the best examples. To make you acquainted with this special Thai dish, this article will introduce you to the recipe for the soup and its herbal properties.

Ingredients :

1 pint of water

10 large shrimps

1 cup of mushrooms

1 stalk of lemon grass chopped

2 kaffir-lime leaves

1 table spoon of chopped coriander leaves

1/2 teaspoon of ground chilli (the amount can be adjusted according to one's preference)

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoons of lime juice

2 tablespoons of fish sauce

How to cook :

1. Pour the water into a pot, add the lemon grass and kaffir-lime leaves and heat it.

2. Add the shrimps when the water is boiling and cover the pot.

3. Wait for 3 minutes before adding the mushrooms and salt.

Chillies and other herbs like kaffir-lime

leaves and lemon grass make

Tom Yam Kung spicy.

4. Leave it to simmer for a few minutes. Then remove from the heat.

5. Season with fish sauce, lime juice and ground chilli.

6. Put the chopped coriander leaves in the pot before serving.

Top

To enhance the flavour, sometimes nam phrik phao or roast chilli paste is added to the soup before it is removed from the heat. For foreigners who are not accustomed with its original taste, just add some milk to the soup to make its taste milder and blended well.

Tips: Best served hot with a plate of steamed rice and a dish of omelette.

For the medicinal properties of tom yam kung, different herbs offer different functions. Their properties are described below:

Lemon grass

Lemon grass can help relieve excessive gas in the stomach or intestine, increase the secretion of urine, reduce heat in the body and prevent the spread of some kinds of bacteria.

Chilli

Chilli is used as cough medicine. It is useful for the respiratory system, blood circulation and heart as well.

Lime

Lime helps to prevent coughing, flu and scurvy.

Kaffir-lime

Kaffir-lime is used to deodorize the strong smell of some food. Its juice can cure cough, dandruff and some types of stomach ache.

Those are just some of the medicinal properties in tom yam kung. Besides, it is full of nutrients from shrimps and vegetables. You will see that the food not only makes you full, but makes you healthy. That is an important reason why tom yam kung is noted as the number one of Thai dishes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the secret of tom yum are: the fish stocks, coriander, lime leaf, lime juice, lemon grass. if you put this all ingredients in properly, you will get tasty tom yum

Everybody is right everybody is wrong it depends where you stand.
