Kwit - Teoh

Today was our last day of Thai class. We talked a lot about Kwit - Teoh.

I told my teacher it's a both a Chinese word and a Chinese dish, but she got angry at me: "No!" she said, "it's typical Thai food!"

If you have never lived in Asia, maybe you don't know about rice noodle soup. It's delicious. Essentially, it's a Chinese food- but it has spread across Asia -- to Japan ( I think they call it "Koba"), to the Philippines, to Vietnam (I think they call it "Pho"), to Thailand, etc.

You can flavor it with whatever you like -- fish balls, pork, chicken, vegetables, whatever. The Chinese will eat anything with four legs, except a table.

The Chinese figured out how to make noodles out of rice about the same time they figured out how to make gunpowder.

Ooooohhhh, I'm getting so hungry, I need to stop blogging and go find some Kwit - Teoh.
