Recently i got back from a trip. I went to Thailand for the first time. despite not knowing anyone, not knowing my way around and clueless about the language, i had a fantastic time! i didn’t want to go home.

In my wanderings i came across this place called the Sanctuary of Truth…

Palm sugar is often used to sweeten savoury food to balance out the salty flavour of fish. Its primary use in Thai cuisine is in sweets and desserts, and somewhat less often in curries and sauces.
