An interesting traditional dish eaten by Thais at the start of the meal is a herb charged dish known as "Miang Kam". This is rare to most foreigners as it is not commonly sold in the food centres and road sides as its only eaten at home or in some traditional restaurants. Today lunch in office I had the change to eat this again and I thought I show you guys this very interesting food.

It is normally serve on a place laden roasted coconut strips, fresh lime, shallots, chucky ginger, roasted peanuts, fresh chilli padi, haybee (dried prawns). A bowl of palm syrup with "secret ingredients" will be added later.

Close up

The way to eat is to mix all up in the leaf that you form into a cone like this with the sauce added on top

Finally you fold it up and ready to makan

This is like a snack before or during the main meal. Taste wise it the leaf is a little bitter but coupled with all the other herb inside and the sauce it is a little sweet and sour all at the same time. Taste really nice.

It goes by weight la. Don't know how much it costs. But the whole meal costs 6,236 baht (S$250) without the brandy, I brought the brandy there. Meal is not expensive.
