Thai Food Festival in Yokohama on 24 October 2009

The Thai food festival in Yokohama is held at the red brick warehouse on 24-25 Ocotober 2009. The event is bigger than last year, there are not only Thai food shops but also some boothes of handcraft, souvenirs and fruits. We arrived there at 11:30 am, it was a perfect time to look around before the performance started. We had rice with a little bit red curry (Kaeng Ped Moo), chicken fried with holy basil (Kaprao Kai), a piece of grilled pork (Moo Sa-te) and a fried egg (1000Yen for this set), papaya spicy salad with sticky rice (700Yen), rice with boiled chicken (Khao Man Kai, 500Yen). The first performance was slow Thai boxing (Muai Thai) dance followed by the actual Thai boxing which was rewarded by big applause from the audiences. The second performance were nothern and southern Thai traditional dances. We also tried some fruits; sweet tammarine and salacca..Oishiidesune...Hope you do not miss this chance to taste several tasty Thai dishes. The Thai food festival is held in various cities of Japan, see the website http://www.thaifestival.jp/jp/ for more information.
