Today on- Random new Thai expressions I stumble upon:

ผักบุ้งลอยฟ้า Flying Morning Glory

/phak boong laawy faa/ = lit. water spinach/morning glory floating in the sky

So today I sat down to catch up on We Are and only got about 10 minutes into ep. 2. This entire scene and the lead-up to it already cracked me up with how Tan talks ("คุณมึงครับ" 555) and acts but then I looked up this dish and the way some restaurants make a whole show out of cooking it! Which is to say- this?

Accurate! It's also called ผัดผักบุ้งไฟแดง /phat phak boong fai daaeng/ = Morning Glory stir-fried over high-heat -> ผัดไฟแดง /phat fai daaeng/ = lit. red-fire stir-fry

They're missing the most ridiculous part though which is the toss at the end. The subs say flip but the word used is โยน /yohn/ and knowing what I know now, 'throw' or 'toss' is more fitting lol

Here's a clip of a restaurant in Pattaya preparing the dish:

...and a longer one from 1984 of a restaurant in Phitsanulok that shows the entire process and several throws (they also throw some ไข่เจียว /khai jiaao/ = Thai-style omelette):

Another tangent cause I can't not bring up Thai music- There's a song by Bodyslam of the same name, ผักบุ้งลอยฟ้า feat. F.HERO, that references this peculiar way of preparing the dish but goes a lot deeper. Water spinach is a really common vegetable and the stir-fry is easy and cheap to prepare so they juxtapose this modest dish with being a star and the temporary nature of that success while also expressing gratitude for their fans:

เพียงผักบุ้งลอยฟ้าหาใช่ดวงดารา /phiang phak boong laawy faa haa chai duaang daa raa/ = Just morning glory floating in the sky, not a star. ในวันที่ลอยฟ้าได้โปรดรับฉันลงจาน /nai wan thee laawy faa, dai bproht rap chan lohng jaan/ = On the day that I'm floating in the sky, please catch/accept me on [your] plate.

If you're interested in the full lyrics, you can read a translation here!

Anyway, that's how I lost about two hours to flying veggies! ...also, the reason why I'm never sure how to explain how I'm learning Thai, these odd deep-dives just kinda keep happening 🥴

When I saw this picture for the first time, I also asked myself if this was real or not. Standing beside @babymetal_official and @bodyslamband in the same picture Just thinking about it is surreal. Until the day the song was released, I realized that it had really happened. Thank you to BABYMETAL and @kobametal_official and TAKESHI PAPA & MAMA for believing in me and honoring me. always supporting me I really love you all like my family from my heart. Including thank you @toysfactory_jp Thank you for helping push this project into reality. Thank you @poonsak and the @genierecords team. that go crazy with me If there are no seniors to cheer and help push this project. It couldn't actually happen. Because the Bodyslam brothers are already very busy from making albums. But the brothers are very full with this project. For me who is a fan of your brothers' music. This is a great honor in my life. Thank you Max @darkestromantic The producer of this song is with all his heart. That helped create this amazing piece that came out seamless and fully woven. Magnet is really the key that helps connect everyone together. And this is another proof that proves that Magnet is a genius that the Thai music industry must applaud. Thank you @directornet.mov and the MV production team with @parko_one and the @4x100studio team for putting together a full MV with beautiful art work. You guys really deserve the word national team. Thank you for always helping me. Finally, thank you to the team. @highcloudent Everyone who laughs, cries, can't sleep, Tired together to make this surreal miracle happen. No matter what happens I would like to say that I am glad that I have such a strong and talented team. Thank you for fighting together until today. Thank you to listeners in Thailand, Japan, Asia and around the world who came to listen to this song. Another surreal thing is that this work crosses the barrier of different languages. The only thing that unites us is the sound of the music that unites our faith. Even though it's surreal But it actually happened. The song LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND has been released. Let's go listen to it.
