When it comes to eating something light on the stomach but filling, nothing comes close to Thai Food! Here too where I am currently living I have found a quaint little Thai Restaurant nestled among one of the busy streets. Where trees are rare there is a couple of lean trees richly decorated with those small colored light bulbs which makes it look so christmasy! One could sit outdoors as well as indoors.

My usual meal would consist of one of the famous hot & sour soup called
Tom Yum to start with. The main ingredient I always choose for this soup is shrimps
. So it it the
Tom Yum Shrimp soup flavored with aromatic lemon grass, lime leaves, cilantro and fresh mushrooms. Believe me when I say this is yummy!

Then comes salad. Sometimes it would be the
Shrimps Salad. This is shrimps mixed with red onions, lemon grass, cilantro & lime juice served on a bed of lettuce. At other times it would be the
Seafood Salad. This is shrimps & squids with the same ingredients as the former more or less.

For the main meal, I like to have rice with any of the shrimps dishes.
Shrimps with Basil Leaves,
Green Shrimp Curry (shrimps & vegetables in green coconut curry with Thai Basil & chillies),
Shrimps in Red Curry, sometimes with bamboo shoots and at other times with mushrooms. As an extra, the rice is topped with a fried egg!

All these food would be washed down with one of the Thai drinks.....Thai Iced tea or Iced Longan Drink usually though at times I could go for the Coconut Water.
A good meal in whole.....a little expensive albeit....but money well spent!
