It’s now our fifth month experimenting with A Taste of Thai’s products. Oh how time flies when you’re eating Thai! We’re still living in Bangkok, attempting to eat somewhere different every day. We initially thought that food directly from Thailand’s culinary capital would surpass that of A Taste of Thai, but we continue to find that … Continue Reading
On my first day in Mandalay, I walked up to a tea house/beer garden. This is a very common scene in Myanmar – basically a nondescript pavilion overlaying wobbly tables and chairs that serves as a restaurant/bar. I hesitated at the entrance when I realized only men were inside; perhaps it was culturally taboo for … Continue Reading
Whaddaya say we start spring cleaning a bit early this year, first stop: your cupboards. We know how challenging getting through the long, cold winter is without a pantry full of choice comfort foods. Would it be easier for you to say, “Hit the road, junk!,” if we stocked your shelves with nutritious stuff we … Continue Reading
Yesterday, we got cracking on a compilation of our favorite nutritious snacks. These products were the best of many that we tried, and we were grateful for their sustenance during our recent 2-month road trip. We easily embraced their new place in our lives because they challenge the notion that eating healthy involves depriving yourself. Today … Continue Reading
Shall we continue with our U.S. Road Trip Series? So far, we’ve covered Pittsburgh dining and accommodation, an accomplishment I feel should be rewarded here with a snack (or ten). When we were planning our cross-country trip, my imagination was gleefully awash with visions of sinking my chompers into Nathan’s hot dogs and Cinnabon’s sticky buns … Continue Reading
Within an hour of my arrival in Mandalay, a Dutch girl was buoyantly relaying her most cherished Myanmar memory to me, which strangely enough involved getting plowed down by a motorcycle as she rode her bike down a dusty, uneven road. Her entire right leg was bandaged and unable to bend, and her wrist bore … Continue Reading
We met Marrrakech towards the end of our cyclonic tour of Morocco. For two weeks, my senses had kicked into overdrive, osmosing as much of the country’s magic as possible. So far, nothing about the place had proven ordinary, and if I had walked any slower to behold it all, inertia would have overtaken me. … Continue Reading
This is our fourth month cooking with A Taste of Thai’s products. As most of you probably know, I moved to Thailand six months ago. At this point, I consider myself a seasoned Thai food critic. After what seems like zillions of meals consumed at street carts and nice restaurants alike here, A Taste of Thai … Continue Reading
I really wanted to entitle this post “A Thai-ny Traipse” but a certain someone vetoed it because he loves raining on my pun parade. Onward. The beginning of January marked six months in Thailand, but we’ve taken our time diving into the place. The majority of our days have been spent solving logistical issues, such as … Continue Reading
December marks month three of experimenting with A Taste of Thai products. Since it also marks the enchanting season of holiday gatherings (for which you may be asked to whip up a dish or two), appetizers will be this month’s focal point. Today we’ll share our personal favorite, and tomorrow, you’ll have the chance to … Continue Reading
