Cook a Thai Dish in under 10 minutes
The AllThingsNice blog has the recipe and instructions for a really quick Thai dish, Gai Pad Grapow (or Chicken Basil).
Gai Pad Grapow is one of the easiest and tastiest Thai dishes you can make. The key ingredient in this dish is the Thai Basil, which has a stonger smell than most Sweet Basils. Its leaves are small and it has a purple stem with a faint licorice aroma.

World’s Largest Carp Caught by Thai Fisherman
WeirdAsiaNews reports that a Thai fisherman caught what is believed to be the largest carp in history. It weights about 260 lbs, while the old record was only 88 lbs.
When I first saw the photo above, something didn’t quite seem right. I didn’t think it was a Photoshop job. But the fish did look a little “light” and maybe artificial. What do you think?
However, I dug around on the web and amongst the scepticism on various other blogs, found a couple of news sites that seemed to legitimise the catch.

Fantastic Mango with Sticky Rice Thai recipe
Mangos are one of my favourite fruits and Real Thai Recipes have a fantastic recipe to make Khao Nieow Ma-muan, a popular mango-based dessert. The recipe pairs the sweet fruit with sweet and salty coconut-milk sticky rice. Make some whilst its still warm out there!
