Summer time som tam

by Darly

The weather is getting warmer over here and it reminds me of tum maak houng and ping kai in Laos. Of course over there you can have all your tum and ping kai at any time of the year. During the rain season my relatives would gather under a house and have som tam party. My Grand-Mama told me how they would tum all sort of things and would share food and stories. It sounds like a nice time for relatives living within few meters from one another to have quality time eating and talking about different subjects. We don’t have such opportunity living in the west on a daily basis.

I have not had a batch of tum maak houng more than a month ago (first and second som tam for March 2008.) because I have been so busy and didn’t have much time to go to the Chinese grocery store or cook on the weekend. For now I can only look at the photos and waiting for the next kok of som tam. When I do make it, eating by yourself is not that pleasurable. I rather share my food with friends and relatives and trade stories.

The Wong

by Ginger

I’ve heard so many Chinese name jokes in the past, but this one is funny, I thought I share with you all.

Su Wong marries Lee Wong. The next year, the Wongs have a new baby.
The nurse brings over a lovely, healthy, bouncy, but definitely a Caucasian, WHITE baby boy.

‘Congratulations,’ says the nurse to the new parents. ‘Well Mr. Wong, what will you and Mrs. Wong name the baby?’
The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says, ‘Well, two Wong’s don’t make a white, so I think we will name him…

Are you ready for this?
