Dinner with Claire and Frans
Last night A and I had the pleasure of meeting up with Claire and Frans [their Flickr site; Frans's site], my good friends since college. They’re in Bangkok for a few days on their way to Bhutan. (Yes, I am utterly roiling with jealousy that they’re going there).
We ate at Baan Khanitha; if you ask me, the highlight of our meal was the yam som o — spicy pomelo salad with shrimp and chicken. Our other dishes — a yellow chicken curry, a steamed whole fish, and more — were also tasty. For dessert, the mango with sticky rice, while perhaps not as sublime as my favorite khao niaow ma muang joint on soi Thong Lor, was also quite succulent.
Safe travels, Claire and Frans, and thanks for paying ole uncle Newley a visit in Krungthep.
