Dear Diary,
During my trip to Bangkok July last year, I noticed that it is hard to find obese Thais on the street. Well, not to say that there is no obese people at Bangkok, but those that I've met and saw mostly have slim figure. My brother Adha would confirm this, because the moment we set foot on Bangkok land, he couldn't stop staring at those beautiful Thai girls, especially those in school uniform with short black skirt [really really short and tight too, but that depends on the age because younger girls seems to be more "conventional" in comparison to older ones] and see-through white shirt :-p

His exact word was some sort like, "Pergh! Patut la bontot diorang kecik2, banyak tangga rupanya!"

Ok now we know what he's specifically staring at. Boys. Can't blame him from being like he is supposed to be. Lagi haru kalau jadi gay :-p

In Bangkok, you have no choice but to use the pedestrian walk, which involves a lot of stairs walking. If you try to cross the street, like what typical Malaysians would do, you'll kiok. The roads are mostly three-lanes way, and the vehicles driven like in F1. That's good actually in a way, because you are forced to exercise, and isn't stairs walking one of the best exercise?

I couldn't help noticing that authenthic Thai food are mostly healthy. They put in natural herbs and ingredients to provide flavor in their cooking. I'm sharing recipe for Healthy Tom Yam for a healthier you :-)

Ingredients:
1 Onion (sliced)
1 Garlic (squashed once)
1/2 inch Ginger (squashed once)
Chilli/Capsicum/cili padi (as you wish, sliced)
Lemongrass (as you wish, squashed once)
Lime leaves
Pudina leaves
Tomatoes
Celery
Half lemon/a lime
Chicken stock


How to:
1. Bring chicken stock to boil.
2. Put in onion, garlic, ginger, chilli/capsicum/cili padi, lemongrass, lime leaves, pudina leaves, tomatoes and celery, and stir for a while until boiled.
3. Put in meat/chicken/seafood and vegetables e.g. carrot, baby corn, cauliflower, mushroom etc. that you wish to add in the flavor.
4. Half lemon or a lime (or more depending on your preferance) squezzed into the tom yam.
5. Seasoning as you wish.


Bon appetite!

p/s: yes, this is white kuah, people.

Note : Observation yg dibuat tidak berlandaskan pada nafsu ya.bukan apa,saya ingin membawa maksud..budaya org Thai yg still boleh maintain stamina even kena berjalan jauh & kena gunakan tangga.kalau kat malaysia,sure rakyatnya suruh M.P suarakan kat parlimen..hehehe...Saya buat observation atas nama akademik.

K.Ida,
Hehehehe. Tapi sebenarnya, biasa-biasa je pemakaian orang Bangkok tu. Sama macam jalan-jalan kat KL gitu. Cuma bab baju sekolah je yang "menarik" skit :lol:

Adha,
Ye lah ye lah :-p

Alamak, ada kesilapan dalam recipe. patut tambah daun sup kalau guna natural chicken stock, untuk hilangkan bau hanyir & rasa muak. nanti saya edit.
