...I love it!

We have a fab little Thai restaurant in our town and ate there last night.

I had Tom Yum Goong - spicy shrimp soup.

Som Tum - papaya salad.

Gaeng Daeng - red curry. Absolutely delicious!

I'm going to google these later and get the recipe as I'd love to make the soup. I make a mean green curry but want to expand my Thai range.

Me too. I get my inspiration for our fairly frequent visits to Jino's Thai street food cafe.

I love the fact that it is hot and spicy yet fragrant and light, unlike Chinese or Indian.

Off to look for the soup recipe....

That's exactly why I love it too Frank...hot, spicy and yet light.

I got a recipe for the soup.

I'd love something different from chicken, chips, rice, salad or mista carne.

Something tasty, spicy.

But not here, sadly

The Portuguese think piri-piri is the only heat they can take and here in the Alentejo, they dislike even that

We both love Thai food too, our absolute favourite.
I have a really good recipe book and used to make loads, including a fabulous papaya salad, and a fresh mackerel one.
Very time consuming, but perfect for an afternoon in the kitchen
