I think I might start a blog devoted solely to gapao neua

Today, between visiting the Anzac Memorial and drinking Shiraz in our robes on our hotel veranda, we enjoyed an amazing Thai lunch at a modest restaurant overlooking Circular Quay called Sailor's Thai. My husband ordered a dish named gapao neua, and this is what arrived at our balcony table:


Perfectly spiced ground beef, scallions, chiles, a garlic dipping sauce and a crispy fried egg with a runny yolk perched atop rice. I don't even eat beef, yet I had some of it. Couldn't pass it up. It was so delicious, when he was done eating it, my husband actually sang "Sunrise, Sunset" in remembrance of a meal gone by.
