"Nem" - Thai Fermented Pork Cake

2006-08-17T21:09:00.000+08:00

I had this for lunch today when I joined the local Siamese and the 3 chefs from Bangkok for lunch. Indeed , I do join them occasionally as they always prepare home cook style meal.I saw this pork cake " Chi Yoke Phneng " and I digged into it. Then they tell me , its better for me to taste it first as it will be kinda sour. Sour ? That piques my curiousity. Grab a bite and it was absolute delish.
