My First Thai Dinner Party

I am making a Thai Dinner tonight for friends, even though I've never cooked Thai food.

Recently we visited a Thai Restaurant (Soi Four Bangkok Eatery) with the couple coming for tonight's dinner; we had a fabulous time and my husband even enjoyed the food - which he was not expecting - but I'm glad I wrangled him into going! 

Due to the great success of [his] enjoyment of the Thai Food at Soi Four...I am attempting a recreation of our wonderful evening at home. 

I decided that my first effort should be enhanced by the "Proper Thai Table".

After all, a considerable amount of true food enjoyment is assisted by the eyes. 

Here is my Proper Thai Table - Cute, right?



The menu I have chosen is as follows:

Pa Pia Sod (Fresh Spring Rolls)
Toong Tong (Crab Samosas)
Sayuri Sake

Seur Rong Hai (Beef Satay)
Goong Pad Thai (Shrimp Pad Thai)
Gaeng Karee Gai (Yellow Madras Chicken Curry)
Khao Pad Bu (Crab Fried Brown Basmati Rice)
Phad Buab Tumis Sayur (Stir Fry Bok Choy and Zucchini)

I will let you know how it turns out - if any dish is spectacular I will share the recipe.

Wish me luck!
