I have a friend who used to live in Thailand, he's a chef, a scuba diving instructor, currently studying as a med student, and list goes on. We have begged him for years to cook for whenever he comes to visit New York City. Being that this is New York City most visitors would rather eat out since there are so many great restaurants. This most recent time he visited we were able to get him to do a little cooking for us and it was really special. I have no idea what these two dishes are called but they were both quite delicious. The above is more of a street snack and involves a little of each of the following ingredients lime rind, fresh grated coconut, finely chopped ginger, finely diced onion, dried shrimps, chili, peanuts, and honey syrup.
We also had a Thai coconut shrimp soup. This soup was so flavorful and still very light, it had the perfect hint of coconut and lime and the shrimp were subtly sweet.
My boyfriend also made a Thai chicken green coconut curry that is the best chicken curry I have ever had. For this particular recipe we have to travel down to a specific store in Chinatown that imports a special small round Thai eggplant. And for desert we had sweet sticky rice with mango. This meal was total perfection from start to finish!
One of these days I'll be sure to post the recipe for how to make the chicken curry.
