Vote Oboema!

Can you believe that somewhere in the 90's there was a character called Oboema (pronounced: Obooma) the white negro on a Dutch comedy show called Jiskefet? Well it's true. What are the odds! So this poster's for all you Dutchies. And here's a link to some clips. Go practice your Dutch. Go on.

Don't you eat over there?

Some people have been wondering why I haven't mentioned food for a long long time. These are the people who know I would take snapshots of my meals on every holiday. So where are those shots now?

Good question. First of all I am not on holiday. But most of all I just figured you guys know about Tom Yam Goong and the Thai curries already. Not to mention the good old chicken and cashew nuts. Here's something you might not know though. Kai en Noi (my neighbours) knock on the door and give this to us every once in a while, because they know we like it so much.






And when you open it up it looks even better:





This is a Thai delicacy called 'kanom kao niao daeng' aka sweet red sticky rice and you won't be able to get this anywhere outside of Thailand, unless you are really lucky. The name is almost the recipe: it's red sticky rice in lots of syrup and covered in white sesame seeds. It is really good. Next time when you are near a Thai night market, ask around. You can thank me later.
