BANGKOK, April 22 My mind has been wandering the soi the narrow streets and alleys of Bangkok recently, especially with the Songkran celebration last week.
(
Sawasdee Pee Mai! Or “Happy Thai New Year!” to my Thai friends and readers, by the way.)
I miss the colour and the cacophony, the aromas of street food such as the ubiquitous pad Thai, kai jeow (crispy Thai omelette served over rice) and
kao niew ma muang (mango sticky rice), the smattering of conversations I can’t help but overhear and only half understand (or, to be honest, far less than that).
BANGKOK, April 4 (Bernama): The inaugural Penang Street Food Festival in Bangkok on Saturday (April 3) that offered a wide range of Penang fare was a huge hit.
The festival had 12 booths selling the island’s best traditional and authentic dishes such as Char Kuey Teow, Nasi Kandar, Penang White Curry Noodle, Asam Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Mee Udang, Pasembur, Chee Cheong Fun, Rojak Buah, and Sotong Kangkung at a hotel here.
Besides these, much-loved Malaysian dishes Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, the popular Teh Tarik drink as well as traditional desserts like the Muruku, Bingka Ubi (tapioca cake), Cucur Badak, Kuih Ketayap were also available at the event.
