A lecture on common spices and herbs used in Thai dishes. We all were surprised that Chef was enthusiastic as this were the first day at work. Chef loves his work so much and is fully committed to it.

A Northern Thai soup. Fish sauce and lots of spices in it. A complex flavour and an intense aftertaste.

Great!
The finished dish is very gorgeous.
