Phad Ka-Prao Talay: ผัดกะเพราทะเล
Because of many reasons that I didn’t cook Seafood for ages. So, when my mates stopped by for lunch last week, I managed to cook something that they do like. "Seafood cooked with Holy Basil Leaves" came to mind. Then I served it with “Ink Squid Pasta”, my mates loved it too bits.

"Phad Ka-Pao" is the most popular & the most beloved "stir-fry" by Thai poeple. It's versatile - you can cook it with Meat, Pork, Chicken, Tofu or Seafood. Oh well, it can be cooked with anything, really.
Anyway, this dish is where Calories & Cholesterol meet up. Personally, I eat "Seafood" in moderation – 2 times a week not more than that.
