Dinner with Bam and her father

Last night, Bam's father invited us to dinner.  He planned to take us to the same restaurant he took me too when I was here two years ago.  It was one of my favorite meals, maybe ever.

The place is even more beautiful now.  The restaurant is part of a home stay resort complex, surprisingly built behind a normal town street.  The entrance is small and does not draw attention to itself-- but inside is stunning.

The food?  Wow.  Unbelievably delicious. We had a soup to start- tom yum with seafood (I may have dropped a piece for a begging cat, who already tried adopting me when I first sat down).  Then we had

two veggies- Chinese broccoli and water spinach.  The entrees included two fish; one fish was steamed and the other fried.  I cannot even begin to describe how good the sauce for the fried fish was, sweet and spicy on the crisp fish, or how well it went with the veggies.  It was a very special meal. 

We finish the meal off with amazing ice cream cake!

 

The restaurant also had some funny aspects... 

This cat was seriously weird.  I sat down and he climb into my long long skirt and started licking my feet... But he was a top notch begger!
