You can probably fix it by replacing the missing dll file or reinstalling the appropriate Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package.

    The food pictured is look chin, or Thai meatballs and hot dogs and other protein shapes on skewers, a common street food either grilled or steamed and sold for 5-10 baht. The darker meatballs are beef and the lighter ones are usually pork or fish. They often contain gristle or cartilage bits that add a crunchy texture.

    Yes, it’s our old friend, Crispy Pork Basil Stir Fry. From a now-defunct resto of our friends, shut down due to high rent and the first COVID lockdown (2020). I never got around to posting the pic and giving them their due… It was good while it lasted.
