I really love asian food – It is amazing ♥
It really tastes of something, and are just so delicious 🙂
I just love food like: lime, garlic, chili, ginger & cilantro, and there’s a lot of that in asian food courses 🙂
One of my favourites are Tom Kha Gai… It is a thai soup with chicken, vegetables & coconut milk.
I could eat this soup for dinner everyday… The challenge is just to convince my boyfriend that soup are satiating and can be served as a main course 😉
