Thai Waterfall Beef Salad
November 08, 2013
An authentic easy Thai beef salad.

Counting days till we fly to Bangkok... yay
This is going to be a "Mom and Daughter" trip, our first without the boys.
Its time for family visit/ holiday to Malaysia again. The last visit was in 2010. I always felt that it is such a waste just to fly into KL and not taking advantage of the cheap air fare and fly to one of the neighbouring countries.
Few clicks on webpages in search of good deals on airfares, accommodations and possible destinations, Bangkok came top of my list.
... but the boys aren't interested...
Its definitely going to be more of a shopping trip rather than sight seeing-touristy trip,
... 'shop till she drop' adventure for E.
She is looking forward to explore all the shops, with hope that she may find something nice and decent (on Mom's strict order!!!); a dress or Ball Gown for her Year 12 Prom Night
(is it call Prom Night? I cant remember the exact name for this 'major event' for all Year 12s ...am out of touch. After all, I didn't have such event when I finished my High School!).
Oh yes... she has done her "contribution" for the trip by googling and mapping out her shopping routes, from one end of Bangkok to another, plus listing down hotels within walking distance to shopping precincts (with warning spoken out loud : "Mom, not the haunted hotels, ok!!")
I just hope that I have the stamina to keep up with this excited 16 year old shopoholic.
And me? I am excited to re-visit the city.... but I dont think I will be shopping as much as Little Miss Shopoholic... perhaps 1 or 2 knick knack, props, celadons ...(I am sure my husband is smiling reading my last statement...)
...looking forward to drown myself in Authentic Thai food though

I am building up our holiday 'mood' by posting this ...

DeleteNever heard of this dish before, but looks yummy! What's the purpose of the grounded roasted rice? Is it for flavour or texture?
ReplyDeleteThis my first attempt after watching it on SBS some years ago.
DeleteIts both, it gives some crunch nutty texture and flavour. Most salad or 'kerabu' from Penang, Kedah and Perlis will have ground roasted rice added.
What a beautiful way to present beef salad!
