If you made our Thai corn fritters, here’s a bur

If you made our Thai corn fritters, here’s a burger to go with them. This corn fritter breakfast burger recipe with fried egg and Thai sweet chilli sauce makes an incredibly delicious vegetarian breakfast burger — or brunch or lunch or dinner burger — that’s packed with flavour and crunch. Skip the egg and it’s vegan.

With a Southeast Asian twist on the classic breakfast burger, it’s so good you won’t miss the burger patty and bacon, and the grease that comes with it, one bit. If you have a batch of our homemade Thai sweet chilli sauce or Sriracha in the fridge, then you’re all set.

You can find the recipes here and there’s a link in the bio to our site, where they’re located.

Pepper hiding in my wardrobe from the rain. She might not like it but we are loving the rain of recent days, which has really cooled things down here in Siem Reap. The birds are loving it too. I’ve listened to birdsong outside all morning. Best soundtrack.

In case you missed it, we posted our Thai corn fritters recipe for tod man khao pod – crunchy, chewy corn fritters that Terence gently spices with a little chilli paste.

Eaten as a snack in Thailand and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries, you could serve these Thai corn fritters as finger food or as an appetiser. They’re fantastic dipped into Thai sweet chilli sauce.

So if you made a batch of our homemade Thai sweet chilli sauce, then you need to make this Thai corn fritters recipe next. Bonus: these are also vegan.

View from my window this morning — my bathroom window! — in the Wat Bo neighbourhood in the centre of Siem Reap.

The city might be losing a lot of trees due to the infrastructure project to widen roads, install drainage pipes, build footpaths etc, but Siem Reap is still a very green city, with rice paddies and palm trees never far away.

I still love it, as challenging as it’s been for us living here during the pandemic, and I especially love these pockets of green in between the dusty roads.

In case you missed it, we’ve published a recipe

In case you missed it, we’ve published a recipe on Grantourismo for Thai miang kham — the bite-sized wraps that are Thailand in a mouthful; an explosion of quintessential Thai and Southeast Asian flavours flavours — sour lime, zingy ginger, crunchy peanuts, crispy shallots, smoky roasted coconut, savoury dried shrimp, fragrant coriander, a kick of chilli, and a sweet yet funky caramelised sauce — all wrapped in a wild piper leaf or wild betel leaf (not a ‘betel leaf’, there’s a difference).

This easy miang kham recipe will make you the kind of miang kham that you can buy from a vendor at a local market in Thailand — in its basic form miang kham is a street food snack after all — pre-packaged in a takeaway bag from a gourmet supermarket, or at a casual Thai restaurant or upmarket café in Thailand.

It won’t make you the luxurious takes on miang kham topped with sweet lobster or plump prawns, salmon roe that bursts in your mouth, or even velvety foie gras, that you’ll find at fancy fine dining Thai restaurants.

Though it’s easy enough to get creative and add luxury ingredients, or any ingredients really. We are just very content to make miang kham at home in its most elemental form.
