Kha Soi

A lazy morning, then a bowl of kha soi at Thainatown. This dish is similar to laksa. It hails from northern Thailand. Soft noodles and crunchy dry noodles with curry soup, chicken, pickled vegetables and a squeeze of lemon over the top. Delish. Then it was home to finish the DVDs before heading off to The Vanguard in Newtown to see some new-age world-music jazz. We sat at a table and had dinner while watching the show. My duck, with roast beetroot and crispy grated potato, was sensational.
