She loves Gang Nor Mai, a bamboo dish in fermented fish sauce, and of course papaya salad or somtam to just name two common Thai dishes.
She won’t eat bugs; she is terrified of bugs, frogs and even geckos. She screams and runs if she sees a bug crawling along and tells you to kill it. Frogs like wise, petrified but will get close to them only if she can cling to you so tightly that she cuts off your circulation.
She also likes western food, she eats cereal and toast which makes breakfast easy, loves fruit and will eat most vegetables.
Mashed potatoes is a favourite, steamed pumpkin, crumbed and battered fish and she really likes spaghetti.
Ja trying to say spaghetti is a classic, but the other night I asked if she would like spaghetti and before long we were off to the market and Big C with all the ingredients needed.
I little while later with the help of Ja, she was sitting down to eat her homemade spaghetti.
It is funny watching her eat spaghetti as she forgets to bite the spaghetti into smaller portions and keeps sucking until her little mouth is too full.
Of course, spaghetti ends up across her face, on her legs and floor and all over her fingers as well. I think this is half the fun of it all.

She's absolutely adorable. If only I could get my son to eat veggies like that! My son is just like his (Thai) father - doesn't care for potatoes or pasta, but will eat rice all the time. Fortunately, he likes brown rice, which my husband rejects; he says it's prison food.
It's so good Ja is learning to like different kinds of cuisine. Too many Thais reject non-Asian food.
I also think I am lucky. From a young age we used to mix meats and vege and blend together for her to eat and she always enjoyed.
She loves eating carrot, just boiled for a couple of minutes and she gobbles it down.
She has always been around the foreign food, Noot likes to eat foreign food as well so it helps I suppose.
I just get sick of rice all the time, even the girls say they are sick of Thai food at times.
Haha prison food.... Maybe they are lucky to get that in a Thai prison.
If Noot's friends come over and I have cooked something, a stew, curry or pasta dish they are reluctant to try most the times. Not very adventurous many of them.
Brunty,
Those are very cute photos of Ja-she sure is growing up quickly.
Have a good week
