There's a beautiful mountain lake not far from the town of Doi Saket where our family took us for a meal this past Sunday. The restaurant ~ and I use the term lightly ~ would surely not win any awards for decor. It consists of several dock like wooden structures built out over the water with rough wooden tables and benches. On the beaches on either side are fishing skiffs and a collection of flotsam and jetsam. With the exception of the view and a few small touches the area appears to be a dusty little enclave and not overly enticing. Ahhhh, but the food !!!!
The menu consists of a large selection of lake fish and river prawns prepared in various ways. My sister in law, who loves
to eat, ordered up several choices.

My favourite dish from a previous visit is this small fish deep fried and served whole. And that's the way you eat them ~ head & all.

The steamed ruby head fish ~ a lake variety red snapper ~ is served in a delicious broth which greatly enhances the taste of the stir fried vegetables and rice. What a meal. The heck with decor.
