(Cooking) Salt beef ( Dried beef ) "Neua Khem"

Just bought the beef boneless from "Zenith shop" near Model Town last night,
I planed to make Salt beef or dried beef or " Neua Khem " one of my favorite Thai food.
 More delicious to eat beside the Green curry.

Zenith have really good quality and fresh beefs especially when price is inexpensive
comparing to Thailand that make me feel like eating beef daily.

Beef boneless in Zenith 1 kg is 380 rupees (Around 130 baht)
Beef in Thailand in normal season is  200-220 baht ( around 600 rupees +)
And more expensive on Eid the price would go up till 250-280 baht.


And for making the salt beef is very easy just put some salt and soya sauces in sliced beef.

Dry it under the sun for 2 days, fry with low heat & eat with white rice.

(Life style) Afternoon tea time @Pakistan

In Thailand we don't have this kind of culture. May be because we don't have so much time to sit and drink tea as in every minutes were so rush and times are more valued than to waste on sitting and drink tea.

But in Pakistan this afternoon tea time is quite important even in the Village. We mostly started making tea by 3.30 - 4 Pm. And now it become our habit to drink tea on afternoon even with my daughter she never drink tea before and just started drinking when she lives in Pakistan only.

And still life in Pakistan is like kinda slow motion movies even in the big city like Lahore.

(Cooking) Green curry with chicken

Here's the easy menu from Thai masala named " Green curry". I brought so many kind of Thai masala

with me cos it's quite difficult to find delicious Thai food in Pakistan.  And this brand of Masala is 

exactly Thai taste as original. 

Even thought it might be easy with Masala but I forgot to think about ingredients here where to find

Coconut milk? Kinda head-ache ! fine I just tried to get what is there in Pakistan!

And here we go! 

- On medium heat, put 1 spoon of vegetable oil in a wok.

- Then add the green curry paste (Masala). 

- Stir-fry for 2min until it is aromatic.

- Add milk a little. Stir till it got boiled. 

- Add Chicken meat and egg plant ( Egg plant looks a bit different from 

Thai egg plant but same taste)

stir till chicken and egg plant are half cooked .

- Add some water and little at a time till it full. 

( Or enough for everyone in family)

- Season with the salt and sugar.

- Add red chillies ( I couldn't find so I put the green one) And one last thing if you could find 

it would make this curry taste more like Thai style " The sweet basil or Ho Ra Pa "

But I couldn't find it in the market near my place.

What pity!

All Done My Green curry with chicken in Pakistan. 

We ate this curry with Naan, Roti and also White rice. 

(Cooking) Kheer in Lahore.

" Kheer " the famous sweet of Pakistan I love it since the first time I visited Pk.

And today we just try to cook this sweet dish at home and so easy just heat the milk
and put all from this box inside.

(Experiences) Old Lahore & Data Darbar

We moved to stay in Model Town , Lahore since one week ago and just today we've got a chance to visit Old Lahore and Data Darbar the famous tomb in Lahore.

With respect from the first sight since the gate to inside the tomb I feel like I'm in a Hindu temple. So many people were selling "oh  wait ...NO! " they were forcing us to buy some flowers by putting those flowers on our necks and ask for money. Some sell birds to let people free them ( And this is also kinda Hindu culture which I saw in Thai temples and Hindu Temples).

The place is crowded with people and cars. We were looking for the parking and there are some guys
who tried to take us to theirs parking and take some extra money from us also.

After passing the lady security guard then we have to leave our shoes in the lots
there are some guys were trying to take our shoes and give us the number to get those shoes back later. (And in this holy place there nothing is free).

People would surrounded you & started talking about ALLAH about blessing about Islam and end up with asking you for some money even thought I said I'm a foreigner and I don't have any rupees.
They also don't mind for Dollar or another kind of currency how amazing! And if you don't have any
to give them then they would start complaining with loud voice and again take ALLAH name down.

All I see in this place just about money & Business.

I would say the place is worth to visit. But people make this holy place become something else.
What pity!

Some people came to this place because they believe that this holy place can heal them from the suffer
in theirs life.  And This is not Islam.

On the way back home we stopped and buy food from here. Heard that their beef dish is very famous.
