It is a variation on a recipe about street food she found in her local paper. It is quite flavourful, so if you prefer a less spicy dish, reduce the amount of spices.

SHOPPING:
- Klong Mae Kha: The Mae Kha Canal is one of the tributaries of the Ping River and crosses the municipality of Chiang Mai for 11 kilometres of its 31 kilometres in length. Long affected by polluted water, it has been cleaned and rehabilitated to recently transform a 750-meter-long section into one of Chiang Mai’s popular places.
- Wualai Market: Wualai, the Saturday walking street, is a lively and fun night market that takes place in Chiang Mai just a short walk from the old city walls. It starts in the late afternoon and continues until around 22:30. We prefer the atmosphere here to the more famous Sunday night walking street, because even though it’s smaller, there aren’t the same crowds of people, so it makes for a much more leisurely stroll.
- Jing Jai Market: Surrounded by lush green plants that exude a relaxing vibe. There are many shops in this area, such as cafes and restaurants offering homemade dishes made with local ingredients and seasonal organic produce. The market also serves as a venue for exchanging knowledge about crafts and hobbies for those who are into handmade products.
