Bowls and piles of food came on to our table after the monks had finished their blessing. On the right is Seaq Bo, the one who taught Dan to eat bugs. On the left is his uncle, who absolutely adored Dan. The other woman is another relative there for the ceremony. The food was fantastic. Our favorite was the grilled fish with a mango type salsa - tangy, spicy and refreshing to the senses. The sour soup and curry were also really tasty. We ate until we were stuffed, and then finished everything off with mango and sticky rice treats.
The bride looks over the prepared food to make sure there are enough for each table. Others cooked the food, but it's still the bride and groom's responsibility to make sure everyone is well fed and happy.
