Brunch of pork belly and rice at an elegant hole in the wall. Late lunch of steak and salad, Isaan style at a trendy hole in the wall. Those are whole cloves of pan fried garlic garnishing the steak.

I love the clean but strident flavours of Isaan food, but have been nervous about ordering spicy dishes as Isaan regional cooking is known to be hot, even by Thai standards. Today I tried the notorious chopped salad which was indeed hot but delicious. Peanuts, fried dried shrimp, diced skin on lime, chopped onion, both red and green raw peppers, and fried finely sliced lemongrass on a bed of herby perilla leaves. The rest of our dinner order was a non spicy omelette with minced pork and fried shrimp with hot and lime-y or hot and sweet dipping sauces.

I mixed Greek Yogurt and Gochujang paste to marinate pork tenderloins overnight and it came out amazingly tender. Got a bag of "power greens" at costco (spinach, kale and chard) and made a rice pilaf.
All together I called it:
Greek-Korean Pork Tenderloin with Saute'd Power Green and Rice Pilaf

We ate at a trendy beer garden where everybody else was 20-something. The waitress had to teach me how to eat oysters Thai style. Mix a few shucked oysters with chopped red onion, sliced raw garlic and chillis. Slather on a hot sauce (choice of hot&sweet or hot&sour) and some deep fried shallots. Nibble on some bitter herb to clean the palate between oysters. They are not afraid of strong flavours here. A dozen oysters were $4.50. We had a whole seabass afterwards dressed with skin on diced lime and skin off red onion, lemongrass, deep fried kaffir lime leaf, raw chilli, peanuts, dried shrimp and fish sauce.
That fish looks awesome!

Haha I love it! Interesting combo and it sounds tasty.0 -
A hamburger patty and Air Fryer Cabbage -- I don't actually own an air fryer so I used the oven, which was ok but I will go back to cutting my cabbage into wedges in the future. It makes for more even portions and easier eating, plus I think the cabbage cooks more evenly that way. With this "cabbage steak" cut, the outer slices came out great but the center slice was a bit tough to cut and chew, and didn't get much browning obviously. The flavor wasn't super impressive either, I've made much better cabbage. It wasn't terrible, just nothing to write home about as far as I'm concerned.
Aforementioned center slice shown below -- these were the leftovers on the second day, I added a side of mashed red potatoes including potato skin & chives). That's tahini sauce in the bowl which I had forgotten to include in my leftover haddock and cauliflower salad portion, so I ended up eating it with the cabbage instead.

Senate Bean Soup made with Yellow Eye Beans. I used a mash-up of the two recipes on the Senate website, plus the Slow-Cooker U.S. Senate Navy Bean Soup version by America's Test Kitchen. YUMMY. Great comfort food. I might use less ham next time.

Here's a dish that started out with a recipe for Roast Fish with Cannellini Beans and Green Olives. (Made here with cod and Marcella beans.) This is a staple at my house but I leave out the green olives and Fresno chilies, and I add some mixed greens instead. I was apprehensive the first time I made this because I didn't expect fish to go well with beans, but I love it.

Snack: Swiss Cheese, almonds & persimmon, and a piece of Melissa Clark's Gingerbread Blondies (minus the chocolate drizzle).

I’ve been pairing pan fried fish with beans ever since being first served it in a restaurant. Optional good additions are warming up tinned beans or cooking dried beans in shellfish bisque or dashi. Adding something fresh tangy and green like gremolata, salsa verde or herb oil is also great.

It’s pretty hard to get a bad meal in Thailand but I managed to find one. We were hot and tired from walking in the midday sun and just wanted to sit down with a cold beer. I ordered grilled chicken and got overcooked little scraps of deep fried chicken. Store bought sauces on the table couldn’t rescue the dryness.
I had been looking forward to some solid food after getting noodle soups for breakfast and lunch which were rather good.

I was seriously craving veg at dinner having only eaten pork noodle soup all day. It’s the easy thing to order in a restaurant or food stall with no English translation or photos on the menu. Every place does a different version and it is dependably tasty and cheap. At dinner I ordered stir fried cabbage and green bean salad garnished with roast pork belly without the qualifier “only a little bit spicy”. I had to eat around the chilli in the salad. Hubby ordered the omelette with minced pork which is never spicy.

First real meal in a few days (thanks COVID) of chicken, rice, and carrots.6 -
Last meal in Isaan was ordered with qualifier “not spicy”. Those slices of raw garlic accompanying the shrimp salad are a typical Isaan thing, where flavours are seriously strong. We head south to the beach tomorrow.

Today was a travel day with two flights, changing airports in Bangkok (over an hour and a half in a taxi). Tomorrow, weather permitting, we still need to take a ferry for over 2 hours to our final island destination. I tried ordering an Isaan staple of chicken larb in a Koh Samui restaurant and found it bland. Hubby’s red curry was too sweet for me. Must rethink how to eat in the south of Thailand.
I’ve also included airplane food of our Bangkok/Koh Samui leg on Bangkok Airways in economy, and this morning’s hotel breakfast of rice with Thai omelette.

Still zero appetite but had to use up some things anyway.4 -
For the work potluck today I made a Gruyere Egg Frittata.
And I wrote up a recipe for it, with the nutrition block that MFP generated for me!

Lox, cream cheese and a za'atar bagel.

Travelled to Koh Tao and threw up 4 times in the ferry because water was very choppy today. Dinner at a tourist trap selling very fresh BBQ fish on the beach.
