Here are some pictures of food - before I ate it....

Apparently, in Thailand it is traditional to invite the head of a village to attend a celebration to bring it blessings.

Well, I wish every blessing on the Patcharee Thai Restaurant near Kingston Station. They invited me, along with local businesses, for a first anniversary party this evening.

Narong and Pat (the restaurant is named after her) entertained us very well, with an excellent range of dishes, all cooked with fresh ingredients.

They then introduced some delightful traditional Thai dancers in the most wonderful costumes.  The (male) monkey is after the (female) fish - it was comic and charming,with expressive mime and hand gestures.
