sea.myanmar.1

the moon

being vegetarian, or even vegan?

honestly, that would be extremely difficult for me

nonetheless, i do looove vegetarian food

so when we arrived in old bagan, myanmar

one thing which i was looking forward to was a visit to the moon

as you can see from its slogan, be kind to animals

it is a vegetarian restaurant

apparently very famous one

 whichever travel guide book you have in hand

for sure this place will be on it

wondered what was myanmar looked like when we were there?

check it out here and meet the people here

 

  fried peanuts as a starter while choosing the food

between all those listed in the menu, not easy really

but all the time we were in myanmar,

tomato salad was our favourite, so that's the first

 

 

then this buttery baby potato dish

turned out to be an excellent choice

myanmar food set and tomato tofu curry

 today's special, vegetable pancake

extra bonus on the house

homemade tamarind candy

yumm!

 hmm.. 

when i think again, you know what

if all my food was this good

i think i can be a vegetarian ;)

i have to jump forward to my latest culinary exploration

finally came to here..

sea.thailand.4

sweet ayuthaya

two thais

two indonesians

one australian

and one greek

together we explored the old cities of ayuthaya

but of course, it's still thailand and we all looove thai food

green curry, red curry, pad thai, som tam

you name it, we had it all

but we also found this little sweet local delicacy

it is called roti san mai (โรตีสายไหม)
and it is originally brought by muslim community in ayuthaya

this is how they made the skin

just using bare hand and stick the dough to a hot flat pan

then you add some candy floss

and whoala!

love it
