The long week of fashion shows in Paris was like a series of well-cooked dishes: some in a minimal, nouvelle style, deliciously light and ethereal on the palate; some quite heavy in the French bourgeois tradition, with a lot of foie gras and sweetbreads; others more exotic, vegetable masalas with many ethnic spices, from Morocco to India. But by the end of the week, as an international audience of sheiks, oligarchs, Thai queens and Dutch conquistadors finished their supper, it did not add up to a sumptuous meal. Lets just say there was no new taste sensation.

I refer both to the original poster, Christa was it And some of the others as well. Onion is a valid vegetable, has lots of vitamin C. What do you know about Thai food anyhow I have lived here in Thailand for 3 years now and would venture to say that I might know a bit more about real Thai food than most of you around the Green Lake area. Yes, I lived there too, in the not too distant past. Next time how about try some nice deep fried meng mao Or larb moo, moo nam tok, khao nieow, good stuff like that. Add a few ants for garnish.

Drop In: Shanti Krakow Post

Mon, 03 Mar 2010 22:35:00 GMT

We were very lucky, because I knew how important it would be to have a good chef. Krakow is lacking in good Asian restaurants, and Pong Thep was very serious about the food, because it has to be up to his standards, which was to get the fresh Thai vegetables that arent used in Krakow in other restaurants. We had the same idea, really. He said to me that things would have to be at a certain standard in order for him to cook in this kitchen, so we go to great lengths - we import ingredients from Thailand, through Germany. We have suppliers in Vienna just to get the fresh vegetables, which make such a huge difference in cooking. Most people just put in other ingredients, and its just not the same.
