Yeayy, my season are finally coming, I am feeling like an animal that woken up when it season to live are coming, mostly I was autopilot during all summer, sluggish and unproductive creatively, It is easily crushing to live in cyber world on now days, when the society rushing you to keep going, to run in a fast pace of world that never enough. While you know your body need to break and most importantly deserve to break. Hoaammm for whatever it is, I just woke up from my sleep, so excuse me for any weird words.

When you go to foreign grocery shop or any shop that un-usual for you, tried and take your time to see what do they have, sometime you will find something new, something that you never know or taste before, something that off your palate, something that you are going to learn to like it. Even though in case of this recipe, I do know, I love Thai food, for any kind of them (Just yesterday I know, that there such ingredient called tomatillo, which it is look like tomato but have soft cover skin).

Maybe this recipe are not practical for you, because maybe you will find a difficulty to find the paste, but you can steal the idea. You can put any Thai inspired paste as an idea to replace it and play it as you please. For the rest only easy classic ingredient. I have shiitake, portobello and zucchini. You can put any vegetable you love.

I enjoy with fragrance fluffy jasmine rice and this vegetable stir-fried, also traditional Indonesian garlic chilli, I feel like being transfer into rice field in afternoon warm breeze, while I sitting freezing in my sofa enjoy it. Such a beautiful paradoxical setting, isn’t it?
