There is as quite a discomfort in tackling something new or trying to perfect or adjust a task that you have been working to accomplish success in.
And for me the task that I have been trying to perfect is the art of fried rice. Idk what magic happens in the kitchen of take-out restaurants but its something not far from magic.
When it comes to fried rice the love is pretty much at the same level of French fries #lowkeyobsessed
Instead of the typical Chinese Fried Rice, I wanted to try and perfect the task and make Thai fried rice.
So, from Lettuce wraps to Fried Rice we are back in Thailand.
