Today I will be sharing one my favorite recipes from my childhood, which I learned from my mom. The Thai Grilled Shrimp Salad with Thai herbs or Pla-Goong (พล่ากุ้ง) has a nice kick of spice and citrus. This recipe is packed with flavors and has a nice refreshing finish as well as a citrusy note from the lime… a recipe that is similar to ceviche. The secret to making this recipe is the one-of-a-kind homemade Thai Chili Jam (Nam Prik Pao), lemongrass, fresh lime juice, culantro flavor, and grilled shrimp with the shell. Leaving the shell keeps all those delicious juices in guaranteeing a much tastier and tender meat….

Forbidden Root is an one-of-a-kind experience, as it is the first botanic brewery in Chicago. They aim to brew their beers from limited hop usage. Instead they use flowers, roots, herbs, and other natural ingredients. Along with the beers, they have a great food menu, which should not be overlooked. The dishes are primarily focused on local and organic ingredients and made to complement the beers. …
Hash Chicago, located in the heart of West Town, serves amazing breakfast, lunch, and brunch. The prices are reasonable for high quality food. When Fab Food Chicago asked me to write a Restaurant Review, I couldn’t wait to share my experience at Hash Chicago.

Even though Chicago weather has been very unpredictable lately, summer is right around the corner (or at least we can hope)! Patio season is what makes these long Chicago winters tolerable. Who can resist sipping on a cold cocktail and dining alfresco?
