All these years on, we can still get a pad sii eew in the same spot

We'd looked for it on our way to Muslim Food for a few days, as years ago when we first came to Kamala, on the headland end of the beach, parked alongside the road, was another lunch favorite. There was a scooter with a cabinet full of fresh fruit and giant bottles of soft drink, and sitting on the side, a wok and an esky filled with whatever she'd obtained at the markets that morning. We were kind of not expecting to see her, it had been a while, and she was a completely mobile restaurant. But, on our way for lunch one day, shock!, she's set up. In exactly the same spot. (Must have had a few days off for Songkran).



Years ago when we came here, pad sii eew gai was our lunch of choice, and today's no different. She takes some gail lan from the esky and chops it up. This gets fried in the wok with chicken, garlic and sweet soy and then big rice noodles are added. A good raining of dried chilli flakes and we're good to go.



We do notice the absence of egg today, but, they were probably out by the time she got to the market.

Maps away.

So after several lengths caused by a stubborn refusal to watch the tutorial we are going to hopefully put maps to places with, hope hope (like we're not slothful already)a little retroactive mapping of past blogs.
So with a few quick photos of another tatsy meal had at Muslim food, Kamala, heres the first map.
The ubiquitious pad kra pow, fragrant, spicy and exploding with flavor. You can't avoid it if you're in Thailand, nor should you if it's made well. Always goes well with a fried egg with a runny yolk. I always like pork for this as the sweet meat carries well with the seasonings, but this being a muslim place, well ya make do.



Pad see ew - stir fried sweet soy, with what you please, over what you please. In this case pad see ew gai sin yai -with chicken and fat rice noodles. Had the addition of yellow soy beans which was nice, usually I like a little more soy so this was a little light for me and not quite worked enough in the wok to get the nice smokey flavor. Still you learn, some things they do great, others you don't order again, s'all good.
