Thai One is Thai High at the Richmond Night Market

At the Richmond Night Market (the official one with the cartoony ducks, near the River Rock Casino), Thai One Asian Fusion is booth F19, calling themselves "Thai High", with a small selection of their menu.

Moon Prawn Cake ($6)

They use the restaurant picture, which is sort of misleading. The actual size of the "cake" is about six inches in diameter and maybe a bit more than a quarter inch thick.
Very thin pancakes (like business card paper thin) of some sort sandwiches prawns together.
You get a lot of prawns. Little bit of filler just to paste the prawns together. No cheating here.
Because there's so much prawn, there's a nice sweetness to it that I definitely recommend you not use the sweet sauce that comes with it first.
For $6, this is just an appetizer portion.
Plain, but tasty. Get this if you really like prawns. Otherwise you might feel "cheated" by its plainness.

Crispy Spicy Chicken ($6)

When it just comes out hot and fresh, the skin is very crispy -- sometimes too crispy to pierce with a toothpick!
Generous with the watery, flavourful sauce.
Nice, moist, chicken.

Thai One / Thai High serves up really tasty appetizer portions at the Richmond Night Market for a pretty decent price.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

How much candy can you bring to America

I have a friend in the US who used to live in Canada -- so she's noticed that some things taste differently. Such as Twizzlers . And she likes Canadian Twizzlers better. So I inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as to how much I could bring: I am visiting a friend in San Francisco later this year. She wants Twizzlers -- she says the same product in the US tastes differently from those in Canada. How much am I allowed to bring into the US for her? I don't go to the US regularly and she doesn't come to Canada regularly, so I was thinking of getting her more than just a couple of bags. Here is their initial reply: You can bring the candy to the US, and there is no set limit on the amount. All you have to do is declare the food to a CBP officer at the border or airport.
