I went to a nice Thai restaurant last week with my friend Tuan. He's never eaten Thai food so it was an experience for him, and I LOVE Thai food so I wasn't about to say no to a trip to restaurant that serves pretty genuine stuff!! We had thai curry which tasted pretty good (Tuan enjoyed Thai curry much more than Indian curry - our Indian meal was the only time I've ever seen him not finish a meal!) and some beef thing, and also one of the special dishes in the restaurant:



Deep fried morning glory with a chili sauce. Yum! It was billed as deep fried morning glory and prawns on the menu but there were only 2 pathetic prawns in the sauce, however the fact that the morning glory was really tasty with the chili sauce made up for it.

Also finally had one of the strange Vina desserts called che which is some kind of soupy dessert made with something like taro and served with assorted coloured jelly kinda stuff and coconut milk. It's very popular in Vietnam but I've never eaten it before coz it looks a little strange as you can see from those pics in the link. It was on the menu at the Thai restaurant tho so we had some of that along with sticky rice with mango. I still think Asia isn't so great on the whole dessert thing!

Going to New Zealand on Friday!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to decide right now if I should spend some of my 12 transit hours in Seoul going into the city to have a look around or not. It would give me something to do but what if I get lost? I've no idea how easy Seoul is to navigate without speaking Korean!

NEW ZEALAND!!!
