Can you tell that me and my vaccinated friends are all trying to catch up on all the time we missed together? I caught up with a couple of friends at New Chiang Mai recently and loved the dishes we got. We ordered a summer roll appetizer that was healthy and refreshing. I always request a larb salad if it is on the menu. We also ordered a chicken yellow curry with carrots, onions, and potatoes.

It matched perfectly with jasmine rice. We enjoyed eggplant flash fried with tofu in black soy sauce with salted soy beans, garlic, carrots, and Thai basil. We were so full we had no room for dessert. Living Hilo Style.
