Chicken basil, originally uploaded by andreaban2009.

I've been dying to eat this for a few weeks now. This evening, I had this ( with two other dishes) for dinner. It's spicy and hot so my advice would be to avoid ordering the tomyam soup with this. Otherwise the fiery feeling makes your tummy upset and you'll have a persistent leaky nose; not intermittent. Difficult to eat and sniff at the same time.

This dish is called chicken basil leaf. The thai name for this is "pad ka-prao kai "( Did you know this?) Ingredients include:

chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
garlic, finely chopped, onion, sliced, vegetable oil, black soy sauce, fish sauce, fresh holy basil, chillies, chopped and pounded coarsely

* Dash of ground white pepper
