Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

Yesterday I decided to whip up some Thai dishes. My favorite Thai dishes: Tom Yum Goong, Kraphong Khao Priao Wan (sweet and sour fish), Gai Yang (Thai grilled chicken), Sweet and Sour Pineapple Fried Rice and Sticky Rice with Mango. What's yours?

For dinner I made: Clear Tom Yum Goong, Pineapple Fried Rice, Gai Yang, Stir fry little Kailan with mushrooms.
