My first take was that it looked like Laksa, that fabulous Malay soup.

They used to do a decent one in the Central Market food court in Adelaide and later I tried regional varieties in places like Penang. I'm sure nomadic knows it well.

Takeaway/Street Food v Home Cooked Meals. Mere idle curiosity and I was prompted by ann's account of her travels but I was thinking the other day that we are also able to afford cheap, quality street food here in The Phils and Thailand. When I read the report on the homeless in Qld it is almost criminal that they are not offered the opportunity to come to, say, Thailand or the Phils, if they want. I eat probably 2 thirds home cooked and the rest takeaway/street food... with rice of course. But I cook rice for a lot longer than Filipinos do as I find it too dry their way. Normally I take Philippines cooked rice whether home prepared or street and boil it again so it is more the consistency of noodles. After whatever many years we have finally found a local supplier of decent eggs that look and open like proper eggs! They have a proper egg shell... lol. The local Argao market is very good for meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. I buy ground beef and ground pork which is all local... Argao has it's own abattoir and a brother-in-law normally does the buying for us. I am not a fish eater but my wife and son are and Argao waters are teeming with the local fish species so they are all fresh. I don't mind them but growing up in SW NSW country I never got in the habit of fish... but I still remember my first ever takeaway when I was about 6 or 7... fish and chips! LOL... shark meat in batter and potatoes... fantastic. Anyway... just some thoughts in the Food section.

When I was recovering from my illness the colorectal surgeon told me "red meat is poison". I suspect a little Buddhist bias there but I've eaten very little since, sticking to pork and chicken. I like seafood and usually get the frozen shrimp tails or tilapia fillets from the supermarket, they're so easy to prepare and not expensive. Do you ever get rice soup Denis-NFA ? It's popular with children and recovering invalids here, I'm quite partial to it myself. It's got numerous names in Asia, Khau Tom here, Congee in China.

BanjoThe rice I prepare for myself is basically Congee. It still holds its shape but I keep adding water until it is fully saturated. That then forms the basis of my "all day pot stew" into which I include either ground beef or pork, and sometimes both, with whatever else... generally tomatoes, capsicum, egg. I also liberally splash a vinegar and tomato sauce in with it. We make up a bottle of vinegar with about half the bottle with small chilies. Generally I bring the lot to the boil several times during the day. With your colorectal "thingy" I'd not eat red meat also given your surgeons emphatic warning though ask him about goat meat... lol. Kangaroo meat is possibly the best red meat for health.

Must correct you as rice soup and congee (in China), are different although both delicious. Congee is called Jok in Thailand and is much thicker like rice porridge. Had many a Jok for breakfast in the Chiang Mai bus station before a bus. I miss it now since been on the 16-8 diet for about 4 years now. P.S. No idea how to pronounce it still. Spelt jok in English but more like yok perhaps. But usually in a pot with a street vendor so no problem and MUST have a very soft-boiled egg in it. Almost raw among other condiments. As good a breakfast as ever had. Not had more than a few red meat meals in 25 years since left oz. Salmon steaks in Tesco-Lotus are my fav. 5 minutes low heat on each side in olive oil.

I think you're right, some varieties are a lot more watery than others. Sometimes when egg is added it's broken straight into the bowl of hot soup and cooks a little from the heat. fearlesseating.net/thai-congee-breakfast/I actually like the packet rice soup, I know it's probably loaded with salt and MSG but it takes minutes to prepare.

In my experience Kha Tom & Jok, with the aforementioned almost raw soft boiled egg sprinkled with greens of choice are both aroi maak. The main difference I find with Jok is it's more like Farex, whereas Kha Tom is more whole grained rice with small pork or chicken pieces added. Adding the greens & egg into store bought Jok when making is also tasty and when on special at Bht 10-12 I do stock up. A cooked pork steak in the fridge to use for small pieces goes a looong way as well. Cheers 🐻
