<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exactly last month</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a Spot the Difference game</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this photo blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed that so much...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That I decided it be a regular in this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's have another go,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's visit The Manhattan Fish Market's menu</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Spot the Difference (The Manhattan Fish Market)" border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jrX1zuAi0kA/UDYG48LvmOI/AAAAAAAAArU/yQl-yd3FcLA/s400/m3.JPG" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the Manhattan Fish 'n Chips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a selection of Dory, Cherry Snapper and Cod,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stuck with their Dory fish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This photo right here is the comparison of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Manhattan's Fish 'n Chips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Menu vs Actual</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Spot the Difference (The Manhattan Fish Market)" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVLVM72tstqL6769L0uTTZq93CWoXaYwE_ddC_jWo3Rtz6ZSn5agg0w_dtgD498tumYOwLQK2vNNuBgNBvlQ2bp7CW62Q8VBTZM-Dh1CtCkk50LquaUEwDCsBkwrura6VTVj5aWu-688/s1600/m1.JPG" title="" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not bad right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The garnish sauce on top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May not be as full as the one in their menu</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps it was </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ALREADY ABSORBED</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During prep time 'till the food</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reached our table</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would just like to mention</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That their chips (fries, really)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a yummy coating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed this dish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The photos above are </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mediterranean Baked Fish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Menu vs Actual version</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm beginning to think</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I photographed the wrong order!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Ha-Ha-Ha!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While our actual fish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Was baked in basil and several other herbs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather than chilies and Mediterranean spices</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The food is still a delight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than the fish itself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything else seemed to be in order</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Visiting Manhattan's Fish Market</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is a treat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll definitely go back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had deep-fried and baked fish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, have you tried</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Check my recipe there and make your own</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the way,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Manhattan Fish Market </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is Located at Central World in Bangkok</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My previous post was about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/photo-collage-iphone-apps.html" target="_blank"><b>Making a photo collage</b></a> using the iPhone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, let's make some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clear, vivid pictures with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<div>
For this session,</div>
<div>
My subjects were a donut and a chocolate croissant<br />
That I bought from St. Etoille!<br />
It turns out that I enjoy their goodies.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Hole-y Bread!"<br />
<br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Cho-croissant"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used no special effect on the subjects<br />
This is to prove<br />
That not all iPhone photos need editing.<br />
<br />
To make a clear shot<br />
On your subjects<br />
Using an iPhone<br />
You simply need to tap the screen<br />
To activate its auto-focus.<br />
Choose your angle.<br />
Then take the shot!<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my baked donut taking a pose<br />
(Which by the way, tastes like a muffin)<br />
It's the healthier alternative<br />
Rather than the fried ones covered in glaze, sugar and sprinkles<br />
It's not entirely an <a href="http://goo.gl/BI421" target="_blank"><b>empty calorie food</b></a><br />
When donuts are baked.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
It's fun taking close-up shots</div>
<div>
with an iPhone 4s</div>
<div>
You can make decent images,<br />
With just a few taps.<br />
And without any edits!<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, if you need to enhance your photos<br />
There are always<br />
Instagram, Muzy and Camera360<br />
To lend a hand!<br />
<br />
<br />
Come back for more!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
In my other post</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, let's make collages!</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You must have seen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Photo collages in Facebook</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of them are a delight to see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Others are just typical. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These collages can be easily made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With FREE downloads </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using smartphones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For instance,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is a collage I made</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/OIh3e" target="_blank"><b>Chicken with cashew nuts</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
From Cooking Like a Pro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's another collage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using my <a href="http://goo.gl/TGXRv" target="_blank"><b>somtam salad</b></a> photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's papaya salad </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mixed with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spicy, sweet and crunchy Thai sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yumm!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Truly 1st place in the Salad division!

Here's a collage using Muzy (FREE app)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Using its Photobrush!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to play with colors!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it, for now.</div>

Have you tried slicing your photo?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again, I played with our food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While <b><a href="http://goo.gl/j1uqi" target="_blank">snacking</a> </b>with the hubby,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figured doing Photo Splash edits</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the photos above</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Photo Splash Pro is currently a free app in iTunes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Go grab one for your Apple devices!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It allows us to color certain parts of our photo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To add zing! to the eyes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's another set of Photo Splash edits:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Notice how everything else on the right</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Is in Black and White except for the muffin top?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition to Photo Splash,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also applied Instagram edits</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To highlight the colored muffin cup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course, you'll see</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gyoza, as well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And other foodies, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't believe me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out their menu below.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kidding aside,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you happen to visit Bangkok </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get some Hachiban noodles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For some Ramen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise, you won't regret it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of noodles and ramen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my <a href="http://goo.gl/JYA1B"><b>Pancit Lomi recipe</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, here's my Spot the Difference portion<br />
This photo below is 8's representation of their<br />
Seafood Ramen (something)<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
And this photo here represents what they served me.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Looks very close to their menu, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Well, I think so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Spot the Difference (Hachiban Ramen Noodle House)" border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QaE6VUCpgrY/UDMxqDMT74I/AAAAAAAAAmo/yY9JytQCeZM/s320/85.JPG" title="" width="320" /></a></div>

And this photo is how their Gyoza would look like...<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Here is what they served me.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
It's not as charred as I hoped them to be;</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
But good enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
At least, they gave me 6 pieces,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Just like in their menu</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You spotted some differences, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still, I'd grade them 80%</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their food tastes so good, anyway! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before you leave,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can anyone help me translate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What this photo image is all about?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cool huh?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, here's how I played with food</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At Coffee World the other day...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hubby and I spent our Saturday breakfast at</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coffee World</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of going to Au Bon Pain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It turns out that Coffee World serves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
good sets of Waffles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had this original flavor right down below.</div>

<div>
Remember how our mom tells us not to play with foods?</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I played with these foods and she liked it on Facebook!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used Instagram and Photo editor for this Waffle shot. I enjoy how my food comes to life with just a few editing touches.</div>
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had the</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strawberry and blueberry waffles.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed the strawberry more </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because it's not as sweet as I thought it would be.<br />

Our Coffee World Experience this week.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Banana Leaf</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is one of our (the hubby and me) favorite restos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Bangkok</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a bit far from the city</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the food here is all worth the travel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Spot the Difference (Banana Leaf Experience)" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghpKqNJYB1v7NNFsM21HeQKXkpX0j5S6SPXyt_qs11aaqfduIkmMDbFVabaePdB97d4TXCNT_Lljj-nEdafTGKgENPqyhYf3u98KedL9qLZiBj9599nfsq-twOLnNONOQlhFSQrXXd60w/s1600/bl3.JPG" title="" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Banana Leaf in Bangkok however,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is a lot different from the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in Metro Manila</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where everything's fancy and all expensive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is rather similar to that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Som's Noodle House near Power Plant Mall</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(That's another food place you should try)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(When you happen to pass by Rockwell Center)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway for this visit, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we had deep-fried seabass (as we usually do)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Check at how these 2 photos look alike.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun, isn't it? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The actual food looks exactly the same</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As it is presented in the menu!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had some stir-fry asparagus </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also a bit similar to the prints, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Here's my own <a href="http://goo.gl/aD9Xv" target="_blank"><b>asparagus recipe</b></a>, by the way.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had pork soup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With seaweeds and egg tofu.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
(Not in the menu)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry guys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We both had young coconut juice to finish up the feast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After which, we headed off </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a 2-hour, well-deserved traditional Thai massage!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a meal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a weekend!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

This is a banana choco-chip muffin from Starbucks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had one while waiting for my hubby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a Bourne Legacy movie date</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The photo images above </div>

Are products of my ingenuity, talent and lack of a thing to do. (LOL!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I don't have a heavy-duty LSR camera,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use most of what I have in taking photo shots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These include my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
iPhone, free iPhone apps and two steady hands.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a little touch of Instagram edits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My very plain captures became vivid, tempting and very real.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the raw photos of the two above:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Instagram in "tweaking" these images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also employed A+ Signature Lite for the "beingwell" watermark.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as iPhone's own editing features (e.g. crop, auto-correct colors)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the most fun I've had with any gadgets;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially with phones, in particular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I made with some <a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/having-fun-with-chayote.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">vegetable images</a>,<b> </b>too.</div>

Point being, I had to do extra cardio workouts</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took this photo with an iPhone mobile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obviously, it's an image of chayote strips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(sayote in Tagalog)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on top of saute'd garlic, onions and tomatoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was cooking <a href="http://goo.gl/3z6Kg" target="_blank"><b>sayote stir-fried</b></a> for dinner this one time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoy taking close-up images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They look so surreal and crisp, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Just as crisp as every bite of this vegetable!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What about chayote, though...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chayote or sayote is shaped like a pear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the US, it's already referred to as the vegetable pear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoy chayote because of its crunchy texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fun to eat is all I'm saying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one's definitely low on calories too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It contains 0 cholesterol and 0 saturated fats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply put, it's a food for weight watchers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can add some shrimps into a chayote dish, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And still maintain a low-calorie meal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://goo.gl/5X3XN" target="_blank"><b>Seafood are low on calories</b></a> too, you know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just remember to detach the shrimp's head</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div>
When you eat in restaurants or food stalls in Thailand,</div>
<div>
You will always be served with fish sauce and chili sauce.</div>
<div>
We almost always don't use them</div>
<div>
But we always have them by our side.</div>
</div>
<i style="font-size: small;"><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee374/beingwell/Dinner%20foods%20with%20friends/bc94a1c7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<i style="font-size: small;"><br /></i>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
And just like their <a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/craving-for-thais-lod-chong-dessert.html" target="_blank"><b>Lod Chong sweets</b></a>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never really fancied these condiments...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(They seemed to be too spicy for me)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
However, when I tried them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With their fish dish for instance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like this one below,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee374/beingwell/Dinner%20foods%20with%20friends/a3e546bc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I enjoyed them very much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you see by the golden fish' side is a mango salad, by the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This salad has a sweet, spicy, tangy taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It absolutely compliments this deep-fried sea bass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you love spicy foods</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you'll enjoy Thailand's authentic condiments<br />
Like I do, now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At home, on the other hand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I make <a href="http://goo.gl/zc3ko" target="_blank"><b>simple condiment recipes</b></a> myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps, you'd like to try them, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything that doesn't go with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soya sauce and lime?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always have them with almost anything fried, in fact.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus, it's very easy to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you like spicy foods?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lod Chong is one of Thailand's traditional sweet treats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This green worm-like dessert is made from pandan and flour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are eaten with the syrup made from coconut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And always served cold, with ice - crushed, cubed or otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(It's green color reminds me of <a href="http://beingwellphotoblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/having-fun-with-chayote.html" target="_blank">sayote tops</a> somehow...)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lod Chong didn't appeal to me at first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, when I got to taste it; I was immediately converted!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will never get tired of enjoying this crazy green noodles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Caution however, if you are watching your weight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I suggest <a href="http://goo.gl/eDLFS" target="_blank"><b>Simple Cardio Workouts</b></a> after having this sweet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Believe me, it's very heavy to the tummy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In Thailand, Lod Chong is served in restaurants and sold in food courts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They always taste good to me wherever I buy them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't make this treat at home, however.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a very tedious process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But that is fine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I learned <a href="http://goo.gl/TGXRv" target="_blank"><b>how to make Somtam salad</b></a>, at least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's something to be proud of....(<i>she said to herself</i>).</div>

Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce is truly a great find!</div>

This is what a pomfret fish looks like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought it from a local fresh market in Bangkok.</div>

A bit costly, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
