Super Healthy Chef's Salad.. and NEW items!

Ah, after a short break from chilin out at Old Town on the East Coast of the island for the infamous Laanta Lanta Festival (check out: Caouthouc, by far the loveliest hidden cafe on the island!)  I'm back in the game working on a new menu with some delicious healthy options.  But before I mention a couple new additions, check out the special today:  Chef's Salad - A fully loaded fresh salad with grilled chicken, salami, imported cheddar cheese, cucumber, capsicum, tomatoes, and salad with a light lemon dressing.

NACHOS are topped with spicy refried beans, loaded with melted mozzarella, homemade hot sauce and are delivered with a side of fresh salsa.  150THB for Vegetarian, +30THB for spicy chicken added.

Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad

Its been ages since my last post, i'll try not to neglect the blog anymore!  The past few days in Koh Lanta have been a bit overcast but the sun is peeking out today.  To welcome back the sunshine i've got a deliciously refreshing Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad:  Rotini tricolore, asparagus, chicken, cherry tomatoes, and lettuce tossed in a light homemade pesto served with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Whole Grain Spaghetti with Garlic Broccoli and Shimeji Mushrooms in Light Tomato Sauce

Yet another fiber and veg filled meal, similar to my last spaghetti dish but with less spice, more fiber from the broccoli and loads of garlic.

I'm so excited to go to Bangkok tomorrow to meet my mother and grandmother!!  It hasn't been that long since we last saw each other (in May for my Grandma's 80th in Los Angeles) - but i'm extremely excited none the less!  Two days shopping in Bangkok and we'll all fly together to Krabi and make it back to Koh Lanta.  My mom is also bringing over a tortilla press and 10 1/2 inch cast iron griddle.  I can't wait for my new toys and to start creating some delicious fresh and healthy wraps and experimenting with the cast iron griddle.... stovetop pizza anyone?
