@skinnylatte I’ve never seen Thai restaurants in the US serving somtom with raw blue crabs 😮 They need to add the fermented fish (pla ra) to that too

@skinnylatte any recommendations for a good entry level rangefinder? I’ve already got a Minolta 35mm SLR

@skinnylatte I was excited to try Jitlada since it’s one of a few southern Thai restaurants, but yeah I wasn’t that impressed. Southern Thai places are so hard to come by here and there’s just so many central and Isaan places 😅

@skinnylatte I actually quite liked Siam Sunset. Good mix of the good ol’ Teochew Thai I grew up eating 😋

@skinnylatte damn, I definitely gotta add this one to my long list of Thai restaurants to visit in Thai Town. Best Thai food I’ve found in North America.

@skinnylatte wow I would love to hear more about this

@skinnylatte My paternal grandparents were also from Swatow. My dad (and his siblings) spoke Teochew with them but us grandkids never learned it. Only just random words mixed with Thai here and there, which I’m quickly forgetting. 😕

Sometimes I wish I had known their language better and have the opportunity to learn about the place they came from the way you described it. My cousins and I were even planning a trip to Swatow this year to visit their birthplace, but leaving the US now ended up not being a good idea.

@skinnylatte only Thai brand Sriracha is the *real* Sriracha, otherwise they’re all imposters 😉

Since I recently moved accounts, I figured I should do another #introduction 😁

Hey everybody 👋 I’m Zack, a software developer based in Colorado, USA and originally from Thailand. At my day job, I work in backend writing Ruby, and dabble with iOS app development in my spare time.

Aside from programming, I spend a lot of time reading, gaming, cooking Thai food, and enjoying the outdoors with photography, tennis, skiing, hiking, camping, among other things ⛰️
