My recent trip to Bangkok, Thailand is quite tiring. Given the fact that I came there for work for a specific project doesn't mean I should be entitled not to do other projects in the office (it's supposed to be that way) but I was working morning 'til morning. Like sometimes 8am to 2am or less. I wouldn't complain because the beauty of my job is that, no matter how tiring it is... I can still manage to inject some fun! So having said that, I did explore a bit of Bangkok with the little free time I got and with the help of my best buddy or my closest friend for 15 years and he's my secret-keeper dude---Warren Santiago.
Food and shopping were great in Bangkok although I really don't have enough time to do shopping and city sightseeing. Next week I will come back, but again for work. I hope I'd have more free time and hopefully I can visit Ayuttaya the old capital of Thailand.
Today I am very sick that I didn't go to work and just eat some leftover that I cooked from last week. This was inspired by the special dish that the chef from Fifteen London prepared for me during my visit. I just guessed the ingredients and how he prepared it because I cannot forget the taste so I came up with my version.

Get well quickly Joanie. And enjoy those beans and potato... yum!
Get well ASAP, Joanie.
I believe this recipe is Indian-inspired, do you think it'll taste good (better) if we'll do it the Thai way? Green curry for example?
Hi RJ,
Not really indian inspired. It's more of the mashed potato thing and combined with beans which is latin america's common staple food. I just add a dash of curry powder to accent the taste of spice.
Hi Joy,
I'm back to normal :)
I would have never thought to mash potatoes with coconut milk... nor to use mashed potatoes in a curry! Delicious idea
Hi Cassie... most of the time my experiment comes with good results. Glad you like it! :D
Hi Joanie,
