One of the great things about traveling a lot and living all over the world is that you get to meet many interesting and wonderful people. One of the first families we met when we moved to Malaysia in 2001 was the Yigiter Family – Nuray, Burol, Dennis and Ege. Matthew and Ege are the same age, and they made friends quickly. When we moved back to Malaysia from Thailand in 2008, Ege and Matthew were in the same class at Mont Kiara International School. Last weekend we met up with the Yigiters in Geneva city center as they were here for the day on their way home from a mid-term break ski holiday. It was fabulous to see them and hear how life is back in England (they left Malaysia last year too).
Our family lived for three years in Thailand. In that time, we ate large quantities of Thai food – a minimum of twice a week – one night a week our Thai helper cooked for us and one night I’d bring home take away from a little restaurant near the kids’ school. We like Thai food. A lot.
But aside from the fact that I didn’t learn to cook it, you need special ingredients to make it well. So we are always looking for a good Thai restaurant. But sadly we rarely find them. Until now.
Last weekend we stopped at the Tuk Tuk takeaway in Versiox and were very very pleased with our meal: Satays with peanut sauce, Green Chicken Curry, Pad gai gap mamuang. Yum! Definitely a do over. Next time – Pad Grapow Moo or Cow Neo or Kow Soy Gai.
