Thai Food Experiment - Shrimp Cakes

My ultimate favorite food I recently ate in Thailand is Shrimp Cakes!

I loved it! Tita Jit brought me 2x to Hua Lumphun, a restaurant in the outskirts of Bangkok about an hour and a half away from the city.

That's how much I love it!

Hahahaha

And that's how much Tita Jit loves me!!!  Thank you!
