RECIPE

I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food - Sarah Michelle Gellar

Hi Friends,

I am back with a Hawker Style Thai Recipe - vegetarian this time as per requests from close friends who are vegans.  

If I am not mistaken a lot of youngsters gl are turning into vegans as for health reasons.  You must be wondering why do I always give Hawker style recipes, as I know and you may also agree with me that this street food is tastier and we all relish it.

So here we go:
