Steem Fam!

Wow! It's actually been a while (2-3 days LOL) yes, a while! I have been stuck in my room watching Prison Break AGAIN. I was actually trying to get my cousins to get addicted so they can practice their English a bit and guess what, I just coulnd't move nowhere for a few days LOLOL! Lucky enough I don't really have to go out much as I got all the vegan food my family gave. Yes! It's still during the Vegan fest! :)

Vegan Festival?

Last post.. no, the post before last, I was talking about the Jeh Festival or Vegan Festival in Thailand. I explained a bit what / why / when / where so if you'd like to check it out, please do so! :)

Thai Vegan Food

We're still in the period of Vegan Fest! It's 10 days and we're pretty much in the middle of it. I have been eating tons of tons of food and oh my, really doesn't feel like I'm eating Vegan food at all, really! (I just lied!) but really, it's just soooo flavorful and so much meat O.o!

Oh!! We're in Thailand, that's why!

I am so lucky to be born in a family that run a food business. Since I remember, I have seen them been working so hard running this family owned restaurant. It's always busy ! All my family members love to cook. I do too but most of the time they don't let me LOL

This time, I went to visit my family for a few days and had a chance to eat some meals made by my aunts and my grandma. I would love to share this with you! as really, you would find this somehow intesresting.

Kao Tom Kui (ข้าวต้มกุ๊ย)

Kao tom is pretty much a rice soup (no taste!). It's just that you pour a lot of water when you cook it and leave it in the pot for a while. We have this type of rice with a lot of stuff you probably have never tried if you're not from Thailand or somewhere Chinese related :)

Here are what we have with the rice soup..

Yum pak kard dong (ยำผักกาดดอง)

Yum means spicy salad (Mainly with fresh chilli, lime juice and fish sauce(During Jeh fest, they use soy sauce instead))

Pak kard means Lettuce

Dong means Pickles

So it's pretty much 'Spicy pickled lettuce salad. Taste pretty sour and spicy and a little bit of sweetness.

Tao hoo yee (เต้าหู้ยี้)

Tao hoo means tofu

I'm not hundred percent sure what 'yee' means but this whole thing you see is pickled tofu and soy beans. The flavor is super intense. Sooooo salty a bit of sourness, I believe.

Ga-na chai (กานาฉ่าย)

Pickled vegetables with Chinese Olives and shiitake

Oh my! this is sure a weird one! I have seen and eaten those for many years (just like any other things here LOL). This one, if you're not used to it since you're a kid, I'm positive that you wouldn't like to try it due to its look! It just doesn't look good really. Though, its taste is just so umami and I love eating it with hot steamed rice so much!

Oh! This is not much of a Thai food but more of Chinese kind of dish.

Pad Ka Prao Moo Sub (ผัดกะเพราหมูสับ)

Pad means stir fry

Ka prao means basils

Moo sub means minced pork

This one, one of the most popular dishes here in Thailand 'Stir fry basil with pork' as it's easy to make. To be honest, It doesn't taste like vegan food.. it tastes like pork because of all the texture and everything combined. Have it with rice is the best!

Pla kem tod (ปลาเค็มทอด)

Pla means fish

kem means salty

Tod means fry

My most favourite vegan food during the Jeh Festival of all time!!!!!!!

I don't know how but Thai people make this imitation fish tastes better than the real one! LOLOL Maybe cause it's not that salty and the fact that you know it's made from soy beans.. makes you think it's healthy to consume LOL

Kao tom (ข้าวต้ม)

This is the rice soup we talked about and you eat this with all the stuffs above. Very easy to eat and it's just so light that will just make your tummy feels so good before bed. Yes! that was our family's dinner meal! Sooooo yummy :)

Bua loi nam king (บัวลอยน้ำขิง)

Bua loi is that round shape dough you see. It has ground sesame inside.

Nam king is ginger tea

This is also one of my favourite dessert of all time. It's so yummy and at the same time, I really think it's healthy! Gingers have so much health benefit and yes, black sesame and ginkgo also.

You could totally feel the heat creeping in but then you have all these toppings to cool you down a bit : Black sesame dough ball, ginkgo, soft tofu and sweeten monkey apple.

Oh my! I'm getting one this evening!!!!

I hope you find this new and interesting! You totally coudln't find this in every place in Thailand as they do sell it in just some of the shop that sells the rice soup. No worries though, they are everywhere! LOLOL

Lots of lots of love,
Mo ❤
