8th Step - Thai Suki

"Thai Suki (Thai style Hot Pot)"

Another family get-together to welcome my cousins from France. We were at my youngest aunt's house yesterday to eat sukiyaki, Thai-style. I almost forgot to snap a picture again. I ended up taking it during the midst of splurging on the food.

The layout was impressive. Out of stupidity and curiosity, I touched a raw cow tongue. And what do you know? It's real.

I thought the whole thing was a very well crafted table ornament...

The soup is made from a vegetable soup base. We added some udon noodles, rice vermicelli, and spinage while bringing it to a boil. Then whomever wanted to add whichever to the soup, they went for it.

There was tofu, taro, squid, cow tongue, veal, bacon, meatballs, lobster-balls, shrimp, beef, clams, quail eggs, thousand year old eggs, mushrooms, chinese cabbage, lettuce, etc. ...
