The black fried century eggs make this quite a stunning looking plate, but the eggs are not the main taste, the spicy chicken is. Eat this as a side dish to Thai rice, served with Thai sweet basil leaves.

During Halloween, if you kill a chicken, it will rise from the dead and the chicken claws will try to take back it’s flesh from your plate. BOO!

You can eat it all, if it doesn’t eat you first.

The kebabs could be from anywhere in the world, but the sauce is Thai through and through! The sauce is a seafood sauce made with fresh chopped spicy chillies. The seafood flavouring really broadens the flavours of the grilled meat and the spiciness adds bite.

This is quite a time consuming pie to make, but the results are well worth it. The main flavours are chicken and rosemary, with shitake mushrooms, leeks and carrots adding to the bulk. The sauce is made with cream to blend and merge the flavours. In Thailand many people don’t eat cream or milk, because they didn’t drink milk when they were infants and have lost the enzyme that digests milk. So you may prefer to omit the cream.

Green Chicken Curry it a favored dish from Central Thailand, and visitors to Thailand love it because it not too spicy and easy on the palet. A good meal for an evening dinner, here it is cooked with chicken legs but you can use chicken breast instead if preferred. I recommend corn fed chicken, it has much more flavour and a softer texture. There are lots of herbs & spices in the sauce, in old times these would be prepared by hand, luckily today thats not necessary, your local Asian supermarket stocks green curry sauce all ready to use. Note, you can eat the herbs too.
Originally from central Thailand, this is low to medium hot.
