What's for Dinner Food Collection

There's actually two different kind of flours.. One is the kind that will break off easily and there's another kind that if you mixed it and make it, it will not break easily and it's pretty thick.

i think you're talking about rice flour and tapioca starch - that's how we used to do it back in the day. and yes, you can go this route, which is cheaper if you're making a LOT - but i find it easier and more consistent using banh cuon steamed rice roll flour that's already pre-mixed with the appropriate portions.

back when we did go the former route, it was always trial and error before getting the appropriate consistency. but then again, that was also before i cared to use measuring tools. haha.

...my take on tom kha gai; but using up all the vegetables in my fridge, too, before they started to go bad! haha.

if you've been following this thread, i made khao piak the other day... and had some leftover noodles from then. plus, i had leftover coconut milk from my nabvam cupcakes i made over the weekend - so decided to experiment with khao piak-style khapoun for dinner tonight. and it turned out delicious! i'm surprised this isn't more popular!

my attempt at a detox diet following this past holiday weekend's heavy eating - chicken dumplings! although, my intention kinda was a complete fail - since i baked some pretty awesome chocolate and espresso springboard cakes for breakfast! haha.

D'Explora -
I just wanted to say thanks for the tip on fawm khao. I made it for Thanksgiving day with the additional water and it turned out perfect. The texture I like! I'm so happy that I can make good rolls now! 


Well...this was dinner last night.

yay!    and your dinner last night looks divine! yum.

like i mentioned, here are the espresso cakes i baked yesterday!    so delish, even moreso the day after - like, this morning for breakfast - with whipped mousse, dark chocolate and caramel! this recipe is absolutely oh-mazing if you're a fan of chocolate and espresso. and if you're a baker, this is my new favorite blog!
