Foie Gras Pate on Poppy Seed Bread

Who doesn't easily gravitate towards Foie gras?  The Young Tongue, her grandfather, and I were all magnetized by its creamy and rich goodness!  We over indulged to be quite honest.  Just spread the love on hot toast...  Isn't this what the holidays are all about?

Kalabasa Chips

I love this supermarket called Villa in Bangkok.  I can't help but visit this place at least once a week to get some hard-to-find ingredients.  The Young Tongue pointed at something by the snack corner and chose these Kalabasa Chips.  


Paper thin, sweet and savory, and oh did I mention it's speckled with sesame seeds -- it was inevitable to love these.  No wonder there are quite a variety of ready-to-eat vegetable and fruit chips in that particular section as most of them may have this all-too-familiar but I-didn't-know-that-could-work-out sort of uniqueness!  We're probably braving the Durian chips soon, albeit polarizing to a few.  


Try to introduce healthy snacks with your young tongue before they turn into junkies!

Here's a photo of The Young Tongue with a dubious look.  When she heard me eat it with gusto, that sort of curbed her fear for the healthy variety!  Ha ha!

Mulberry Cinnamon Twists

The Young Tongue loves bread sticks, both sweet and savory.  A few days ago, I came across these bread sticks with mulberry and cinnamon.  I find black mulberries toothsome as compared to the white ones.  Paired with cinnamon and sugar, they add more depth of flavor to the mundane bread sticks.  What a treat!    

The Young Tongue and I couldn't stop popping these.  I had them with a cuppa and she had it with a warm glass of milk.

Peppadew Peppers with Goat Cheese

We're loving our food finds here in Bangkok!  The Young Tongue pointed out something by the deli and asked me to buy "the red one mama!"  Upon close inspection, I saw something that I've never tasted nor tried in my whole life.  What looked like cherry peppers was actually a Peppadew Pepper.  Peppadew who?

Originally from South Africa (these ones came from Australia), Peppadew Peppers are sweet and slightly hot.  I ended up buying the ones stuffed with goat's cheese (some come with olives) and it was quite a good combination.  It's actually quite tasty on its own or you can add into salads, pasta, pizza, and so on and so forth.

The Young Tongue had a bite and told me "It's spicy Mama.  But I like it because it's red!"  Everyday, we're trying to add a little heat into our food, slowly adapting to our new environment.  This Peppadew is slightly milder than Thai red chillies and I think we have the tolerance for it.  This will definitely be a staple in our kitchen.  Thanks for spotting this my Young Tongue!  And this will be our first entry for "currently feasting on..."

Currently loving... will be our label for anything we're loving!
