Deep Fried Asparagus

Whenever I visit Thai restaurant, I'm always greeted with 'Sawadee ka', never greeted chinese in chinese restaurant though, sadly. Wonder is it because I look more thai than chinese?? or?? hmm... Anyway, I love thai food as much as chinese food, maybe due to the proximity of Malaysia to Thailand that brings some similarities in our food. Remember the tomyam, satay & green curry? yum yum...

There are a lot of thai restaurant in Denmark and fresh authentic 'exotic' ingredients flew from Thailand weekly to supply the local Asian shops. I won't say everything is available, but just about everything common are made available. Green curry paste or satay sauce can even be purchased in Danish grocery shops, which made cooking thai food at home so much easier.

I don't think the ordinary thai food in Copenhagen are as good as the ones in Thailand, even though they are prepared by Thai chefs; but, the fusion / newly invented ones are really nice. How about some deep fried asparagus? I tasted it in Khun Juk the thai restaurant and can never forget the great taste.

Attempted to 'duplicate' the same deep fried asparagus. My asparagus was thinner but just coat it with eggs & breadcrumbs, they taste heavenly. Thicker asparagus (like the ones I had in the restaurant) was much better but this will do as well, delicious :)
