Potluck Picture Update

I decided to make Pad Thai and Eggplant afterall. Went to the Thai Supermarket at Golden Mile Centre at Beach Road. The supermarket is really very cool. It has a large selection of Thai fresh products, sauces and snacks. Yummy! And as you mak eyour way to the ground floor, there are also a number of Thai restaurants and Thai provision stores which are kinda cool.

Poor everyone had to make do with all the food on the very small table, had to get my TV box to extend for a longer table.
Sticky Rice and Mango Dessert....SY made that and its sitting on my beautiful Corelle plates.

My newphew ZH, eating on the floor. He even got the tissue paper to clean up the floor when he spilt some rice.

Anyways, here is my Pad Thai recipe. Got it off the internet. Quite tasty.
