Luke makes it to the town of Chiang Khong in northern Thailand, where he catches the ingredients for his traditional tom yum fish soup and tasty northern-style frog curry. Mr Ta – a Mekong fisherman – takes Luke out onto the river where they pull in a 10-kilogram fish for Mr Ta’s special tom yum recipe. Luke gets muddy catching frogs to cook-up for the hard-working rice farmers’ lunch. Under the watchful eye of Yoda – a young man from a Lahu village – Luke chops down a bamboo tree in which to cook his chargrilled pork dish.
