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.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
