Every one knows April is Songkran, suppose to be the hottest month in Thailand, exception this year though where many Bangkokrians experience coldness last week.
Songkran isn’t just about its famous water-throwing festival, but it is also a time to refresh oneself, to turn over a new leaf, to start afresh.
For Foodies, its also the only season for “Khao Chae”, a traditional special cool-off dish featuring rice in jasmine water served with a tasty variety of condiments.
'Khao' means rice, 'Chae' means 'immerse in water'.
Take this, the 'real star' of Khao Chae is actually the side dish ! A variety of mostly sweet side dishes, which include young pepper stuffed with minced pork, sweetened shredded beef or pork, glazed Chinese turnips, batter-fried kapi or shrimp paste, and more, depending on the “house” the recipe is passed down from.
I' m so sad. I can not eat it this year.
