Hmm… writer’s block or pure laziness? Perhaps a good combination of both. Excuse the hiatus from blogging, this meal should have been written about BEFORE my vacation but …mmm ok no more excuses and onto the meal.
It’s a family tradition on my mom’s side to go out on dimsum excursions when my parents are in town. After my audit stint at an industrial park and essentially consuming gallons of oil for my lunch meals, I convinced my mom to pick another cuisine. This particular Sunday was the 7’s or a huge Rugby match that takes place in Hong Kong annually….aka traffic was horrendous all around the Causway Bay and most of Hong Kong Island. Maybe it’s the American in me, or just the idea of being fairly open to many ethnic cuisines, but I had to do a fairly persuasive job to convince my parents to stray away from the traditional conventions of dimsum. Finally! Thai cuisine was compromised.
The meal:
Pomelo Salad- Pomelo pulps picked out and placed on a bed of lettuce in a lime cream dressing w. dried mini fish
Yellow Chicken Curry- Tender Chicken slices mixed with carrots, red peppers, and onions in a light yellow coconut curry
Thai Fried Rice with crab meat- Standard Asian fried rice with scrambled egg, green onions, and shredded crabmeat.
Shrimp Pad Thai- tangy and savory dried noodle sticks with green onions, bean sprouts, scrambled egg,, and shrimp with crushed peanuts.
Fried fish fillets- Fried fish fillets on a bed of (Cun Xin Cai) and red chili
Pan-fried giant prawns- Pan-fried giant prawns in a salt and garlic batter topped with cilantro.
Tofu- Pudding Tofu lightly battered accompanied with shitake mushrooms, various other forms of mushrooms, baby corn, and green peppers.
