Exploration of Thai Flavors

Today I was Chef of the Day so I wasn't really assigned a dish to cook. So in my spare time between setting up I threw together what was originally going to be a rendition of pho, but turned more into a collection of the flavors I imagine when I eat Thai food.

Rice noodles in sesame, a 'cannoli' of shrimp, cilantro, basil, and coconut milk, fresh basil and cilantro salad with a sweet chili, lime, and coconut milk dressing, and shrimp poached in an anise and lemongrass dashi.
