Cold Thai Rolls
Green Papaya Salad
Lemon Chicken Soup
Pork Larb
Spicy Thai Noodles
Steamed Snapper with Chilli Lime Sauce
Stir Fried Shiitake Mushrooms and Snow Peas
Banana Fritters

It is Fridays like this that make my heart sing.  Two of my husband's cousins and an aunt are traveling by and decided to stop in for a Friday Night Dinner.  The house is filled with great smells and fantastic company.  I am pulling out all the stops to have a fun filled Thai food feast.

 We are starting with fried spring rolls and cold Thai rolls to please everyone in the crowd. 

We then moved onto the green papaya salad and Lemon Chicken Soup

Both were very Yummy.
 
Then came out the main dishes to be served family style.
 Pork larb

Spicy Thai noodles

Steamed snapper with chilli lime sauce

 

Stir fried shittake  mushrooms and snow peas

I have always loved spicy Thai noodles and pork larb but tonight I think my favourite part has to be the snapper.  It was so spicy.  Wow!  Followed by the Stir fried mushrooms and peas, they were super fresh tasting

And finally, if you weren't full yet, banana fritters.

The company was fantastic. It always makes me so happy, as the cook, to have people raving about my food.  The youngest cousin, who is just in university, felt she had been introduced to trying new things.  That in my book is a win!
