Street Food at the Chiang Mai Winter Orchid Festival



It is time for the Chiang Mai Thailand winter Orchid Festival once again. This is one of my very favorite events in Chiang Mai Thailand's busy year. The festival is exemplified by its parade and elaborately decorated floats.

 A portion of "the Moat is closed to traffic, where food vendors and flower merchants set up their stalls and tables. The food is delicious, and the flowers and shrubs for sale are very inexpensive.

I hope that you enjoy this post.
There were so many tamarinds for sale.

Delicious Waffles. I had one with Chocolate and banana.

Sweets, Waffles and fruits
Sunflower seeds to eat as you walked, or lager nuts to chew.

There was Pad Thai of every variety. Do you see the different types of noodles?

Chu Chi Curry recipe from Northern Thailand



Here is what the Chu Chi will look like when it is served.
   
     Chu Chi  is one of the most well loved curries in northern Thailand. It is also one of my very favorites. This meal is warm, but sweetened with the addition of coconut milk, and it will surely be a hit at your dinner table.

Make this dinner for a quiet date at home for two, or serve it for company.

The complements will come quickly, and they will be sincere.

Chu Chi will be a hit with everyone!

Ingredients:

1 large Red Pepper, 1 large Sweet Onion,
1 HOT Green Chili, and 4 Scallions




1.5 Pounds of Boneless Pork Shoulder will make enough to serve 3-4 people

Fish Sauce





















Coconut Milk
 

Coconut Powder will do just fine,
 but will make a less creamy Chu Chi.

Red Thai Chili Paste



Jasmine Rice tastes very good with
Thai Curry

Fresh Basil


Remember to cut the pork into small bite sized pieces

 Preparation:

         Here are all of the ingredients you will need to make Chu Chi correctly. Cut the onions into thin slices, and make the peppers fine and even, to create the perfect look. Always slice your scallions into tiny rings. Make sure you have prepped your ingredients well, it will make the curry more delicious!
