A white oval plate containing a meal is centered on a dark brown surface, likely a wooden table, in Moo 1, Thailand. The plate holds a portion of white, long-grain rice shaped into a dome on the right side. To the left of the rice is a beef and mushroom stew or stir-fry in a light brown, viscous sauce. The stew contains thinly sliced pieces of browned beef, whole or halved brown mushrooms, and translucent slices of onion. The dish is garnished with numerous chopped green onions or chives scattered across the surface, along with visible whole black peppercorns. A small sprig of fresh green parsley is placed at the top right edge of the stew, adjacent to the rice. In the upper left background, a portion of a white, possibly plastic, container is visible. In the upper right background, a silver fork and knife are partially visible. A blurred object with a black and white striped pattern is also present in the upper background, behind the plate. No people are visible.
