Wat Promwachirayan, Thai Sunday market — Local services in Saint Louis Park

Minnesota! It’s not too late to plan for next year’s Sunday markets! WOW! What a hidden gem!! Live music, local Thai vendors, community congregating at dining tables on mats enjoying Sunday with family and friends. Sit on a mat and get ready to eat, because you will be getting Food! When you think you’ve purchased all the food you’d want, get two more appetizers or main meals to try and share! It was a beautiful cultural experience right here, in St Louis Park! Skip the Costco food court on Sundays in the summer, drive less than a mile to get egg rolls, pad Krapow, pad Thai, mango sticky rice, many choices of teas, coffees, & fruit drinks.

The noodles soup is very different from Vietnamese pho, it’s much more rich flavor and a bit of sweet. Too bad there is no real dessert like most buffet. They only offer coconut pudding/ jello 😞 staff is really friendly which is...

Rain or shine, the weekend market never fails to deliver great food, the kind of food bloggers talk about when blogging in Thailand.

I just had the fish mok (steamed red curry) and that was delicious.

As some of you who are foodies know, Thai food is particularly special, because it is layered with flavors and sometimes textures, but mostly layered flavors.

The steamed fish for example, gave hints of seafood, spices and herbs and add to this, Jasmine Rice.

The fish was very delicate too.

That particular stall sold curry puffs also.

Thai food is all preparation.

Many of the items of food I saw today, takes hours to make and/or prep for.

Definitely a slice of authentic Thai food at the Thai Temple in Minnesota!
