Kanom Ko

Good afternoon friends,

Today, I am thinking of “Kanom Ko”(ขนมโค) , a type of dessert originated in the south of Thailand.  

When I was young, every 5 o’clock in the evening, I always asked my mum to give me 5 bath to buy Kanom Ko. Once that money was put in my hands, I walked quickly to the lady who sold Kanom Ko at the public playground.

I am going to tell you how the lady made Kanom Ko at that time.

I saw many things she had provided. Let’s imagine.

-          On the table, there were a big round plate in which she put many balls of kneaded sticky rice flour, a plate of shred coconut, a plate of cooked-peeled mung bean , and a plate of many cubes of brown sugar.

-          Near the table, she had a stove and she put an aluminum pot on it. Then, she poured lots of water in that pot. Later, she lit some charcoal to boil the water.

Then, I asked her “Can I have 5 bath of my favourite, please?  She smiled and I saw how she made it:

-          She flattened a ball of kneaded sticky rice flour in her hands and she put a cube of brown sugar in there and wrapped it round.

-          She repeated the same step until 15 balls were finished.

-          She put these balls into the boiling water.

-          Then, these balls were floating and she used a sieve to drain them.

-          Next, she put them on a small plate, and sprinkled some coconut shred and cooked-peeled mung bean.

-          Last, she shook the plate to let the balls stick well with the above dressing.

I think Kanom Ko is not sold in Bangkok. Just I feel nostalgic about it.

Some people said the taste of Kanom Ko is similar to Kanom Tom, but the size of Kanom Tom is bigger than Kanom Ko

Have a good weekend

Hi! Guys.  I would like to recommend the new restaurant and the popular one for the people who don’t know where you want to go on this weekend. May be this one is the other choice for you that called “ CHOCOLATE VILLE” ... Don't forget to take the camera with you!!!!

Chocolate Ville is a new restaurant towards the Northeast of Bangkok. The restaurant is actually a small village with a range of different style houses, small lakes, a light tower, windmill and many more.

The menu showed a wide variety of dishes, both international and Thai. We tried a mix of both with spare ribs, german pork knuckle, Thai salads, sausages and soups. I liked all of it and would definitely recommend this to others.

In this beautiful setting the restaurant serves a range of international and Thai dishes. I visited Chocolate Ville about 2 weeks after opening. By that time many people already had found this restaurant and we actually had to wait in line to get a table. I was rather suppressed about this as the location of the restaurant is not that obvious and for some maybe difficult to find (although it is really easy to get there). This is because it is located on a rather new section of the Kaset-Nawamin Road. This section is not much used and as such not many will have passed the restaurant. in between the beautiful houses, lakes, light tower, etc many tables are set to allow the visitors to enjoy the park landscape.

I like listening to English songs

I like listening to music so much. My favorite song is English songs. I listen to English songs through the radio on Get FM 102.5 everyday. There are many DJs there; DJ Boy, DJ Patty, DJ Meaw etc. All DJs always turn on so many famous songs. Listening to English songs helps me a lot in listening English skill and it makes me relaxed and very happy as well. When I feel stressed with something bad, listening to English songs is the best choice for me. I would like to suggest all of you about this radio station, if you like listening to the music especially English songs like me. Thanks a bunch,

Straw Mushroom Chili Paste

Everybody must have their own favarite food. For me, my own favorite food is straw mushroom chili paste. I usually eat it every Saturday. It is hard to find this kind of food because it is considerred vegetarian food. So you probably find it in vegetarian shop.

For me, I usually buy it from the food cart in front of Big C Ratchadapisek. In front of Big C, there are many food carts and street shops on the pathway. The food cart that sell my favorite kind of food is easy to find. It is right at the corner of the pathway where you can see the couple selling many kinds of chili paste such as mackerel chili paste, horseshoe crab chili paste, straw mushroom chili paste, etc. And there are a lot of boiled vegetable for you to choose from.

Of course, the taste is very spicy, so I have to tell them don't make it too spicy. Anyway, it still  too spicy for me but they said that it must be spicy or it isn't delicious. What they said is true, if it is not spicy, how can you call it chili paste. So I eat it with  boiled vegetable and it is the perfect match. Usually I eat it with morning glory, Ivy  Gourd, Hemp Sesbania Flower, cowslip, etc.

Today I would like to share the brife history of facebook which is the popular social network in this present Mark Zuckerberg, 23, founded Facebook while studying psychology at Harvard University. A keen computer programmer, Mr Zuckerberg had already developed a number of social-networking websites for fellow students, including Coursematch, which allowed users to view people taking their degree, and Facemash, where you could rate people's attractiveness. In February 2004 Mr Zuckerberg launched "The facebook", as it was originally known; the name taken from the sheets of paper distributed to freshmen, profiling students and staff. Within 24 hours, 1,200 Harvard students had signed up, and after one month, over half of the undergraduate population had a profile. The network was promptly extended to other Boston universities, the Ivy League and eventually all US universities. It became Facebook.com in August 2005 after the address was purchased for $200,000. US high schools could sign up from September 2005, then it began to spread worldwide, reaching UK universities the following month. As of September 2006, the network was extended beyond educational institutions to anyone with a registered email address. The site remains free to join, and makes a profit through advertising revenue. Yahoo and Google are among companies which have expressed interest in a buy-out, with rumoured figures of around $2bn (£975m) being discussed. Mr Zuckerberg has so far refused to sell. The site's features have continued to develop during 2007. Users can now give gifts to friends, post free classified advertisements and even develop their own applications.and the number of registered users had reached 30 million, making it the largest social-networking site with an education focus.

Good Morning all, happy Sunday

Good morning, my lovely friends. In this moment I think you're still lying on the bed,  me too because in last night, I went to hang out with my friends @ the restaurant that located on Narathiwat road named "Sortrel".

 It's my first time to go there. Sortrel is a nice restaurant, it's designed to make me feel as home.

 The table cloth of this restaurant is very different from others.Because it made from a blank paper, ( as the picture below) so you can enjoy with your friends for drawing anything that you want.

This is my masterpiece........Titanic. 

In the next time, before we graduate....let we go to hang out together and take a photo for keep as memories....once we are SMTEB students.
