Visiting Home: Four Fish Dish
I left Seattle on January 25 and was excited about visiting home during Chinese New Year. I wanted to record my family traditions and later all will explore food and culture in many provinces around Phuket. This trip is unlike other trips: my focus is on the Southern Cuisine. For 3 weeks my itinerary is planned to make the most with recipes from the villages. After spending 5 days in Bangkok and Amphawa experiencing the incredible regional foods, I am now with my family in Phuket. I arrived at my family home just around noon and my favorite foods are already waiting for me at the table.
My mom waited for me in her kitchen with my favorite foods: fish four-way, fried salted croaker and fried fresh turmeric croaker and then steamed Thai mackerel (Pla Tuu) in tamarind sauce and sour curry with croaker, fuzzy melon and taro stem. When I am at home in my mom’s kitchen I eat simple foods.
I am so happy to be home again.

Going home and being met by family and food…is there anything more comforting?
I would love to see the croaker recipes. Seafood City at Southcenter often has croaker, and I’ve been curious as to how to use it.
Enjoy the rest of your stay in Thailand.
Ron,
There is no better way than catching up with family with food….I asked my sister to do a demonstration and I will tape the video of how to cook the croaker. I am scheduling a few cooking demonstration now. There will be lot of new ideas. Thank you.
