The Lanna-Kitchen
This regional kitchen is honest. You can
taste every ingredient. Nothing is held
together with some rubbery sauce. It can be mild and spicy, but - don't
worry - you can determine for yourself how mild or spicy you would like
to have it. Have a look how Joys family prepares their own food: That
is the super-spicy version, and is only reserved for Thais.
In Joy's House, food becomes a savory
experience. Ingredients are countless and rich in variety: fresh
fresh-water fish, marinated fish, tiger prawns, langusten, duck,
chicken, salted eggs, rice noodles, mungbean noodles, rice flour,
fermented soy beans, spur chilli,
dried chilli, galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime, wild ginger,
turmeric, sweet basil, bitter gourds,
tamarind, etc., etc....
Look over the Cook's Shoulder
Of course you may wait for your
entré, relaxing with a drink. But you may also look over the
cook's shoulder. He chops, composes, sizzles, steams and seasons before
your very eyes. He's happy to explain his cooking process. You don't
need an extra cooking class - it's learning by looking and doing.
