Yet again, rough-hewn kitchens turn on the best food ever.
Just got back from a over-too-fast trip to Koh Samui - a lovely little island off the coast of Thailand. I went to do a full on body recharge, but of course my entire stay became about finding really authentic seafood, tracking down the perfect pina colada and coming home with a mega tan. All were achieved with great results!
First of all, I was stunned to realize that pad thai wasn't made with the thick noodles over in the mother land like we're used to back home. It's thin noodles all the way around. The seafood was phenomenal - other-worldly even. The beaches were the best I've seen in a long, long time - and became even more so with a chilly pina colada served up in a young coconut that was just macheted out of the tree. I'd order plate after plate of food and the bills would be like $20.
I have a billion photos, and a lot of stories to go with them. Once my desktop decides to pop back on, well - it shall begin!
