Thai Food

[Ghost]

two words: tom yum

So when he gets to thailand he should lick you?

pervert.

[Khun Kao]

best thing to do is to only do a 50/50 ratio of Coconut Milk to Skim Milk.... Still get the flavor, but much less of the bad stuff.....

[Garland]

keep an eye on the calorie counts guys when using that coconut milk.
Its like lard from the trees.

.... HA HA HA!

Penut sauce is soooooooo much worse...
you kind of have to work around it to really appreciate the artery hardening goodness and the fat producing properties of that stuff.


Order PANANG CURRY...if you're in the north, order khao soi for lunch...and of course...my favorites, chu chee pak (tamrind curry) gai...
nua sawan (thai beef jerkey...which can sometimes be scarry because it's sun dried)...

I don't know...if you like curries-> gang keow wan is a green curry that is high in coconut milk...gang deang is the red curry that is damn good, masaman is okay if you like cinnamonish and tumric type tastes more typical of inidan food... gang ba ma is would be some type of burmese curry...which I'd try to have if you could, because "authentic burmese" food would be harder to come by without risking a bullet going into myanmar.

If you like noodles... kee mao is KICK ASS...order it with steak.

Yum Nua is a steak salad...the shit is dank. Larb is also a favorite...that's the one you want to order like the sadists on here suggest...just keep some milk or half and half close to cut the capsicum (chili hot make lactose kill enzyme urrrrr).

Pad Thai is such a staple it would be like ordering spagetti in italy...it's played out...maybe some stir fry dishes???

Pad Ga Prow Sap I think is what Ajarn Chai always orders when he stops by...it's a Basil stir fry... Thai holy basil can have about as much snap as out of season thai chilis though, so be careful with that dish...which is also excellent...

Gra Tiem Tawt is garlic stir fry...

Try ordering catfish Pla Nung Khing...just DO IT!



Also...deserts are to die for... khao neow gati and the black version (dom) are great with mango and also a seasonal custard which I am quite partial to but don't know the name of...

avoid mekong whiskey and stock up on singha... also... krateng deang is red bull and SHARK or M-16 or Carabao all go MUCH better with vodka.


Just F.Y.I.

and AVOID KHRONG THIP!

[Khun Kao]

Try the Singha Light Beer!!!!!! That shit is DOPE! By the way, if you're in Thailand, it's pronounced "SING", not "SING-HA". My favorite Thai phrase is "Neung Sing"

Thats a great rundown of Thai food Garland nice one(i thought Panang was southern though?) I like Larp Nua,and most Issarn food to,very hard to get in the western Thai resteraunts in the Uk.

I love beer chang,Singha give me a headache after 1 bottle,also likeSaengsom and cola.

Dont like Durian(smells!) but love Saparot and Rambutan,oh i miss Thailand!.

Saying "Sap Sap, Khem khem" works for me. The restaurants here in the US rarely hit the target, at least the ones close to me. Lucky for me my wife is Thai.

Some of my favorites dishes are: (and I am going to use English phonetics since most people don't know the craziness that is Tinglish Ie K = G)

Kha Nah muu glorp (kale with crispy pork)

Pad gra prow (muu) (gai) (nuuah) Fried basil with pork, chicken, or beef

Gai phed maa muang Chicken and Chashew nuts

Yum wun sen glass noodles, can come with pork or shrimp

Muu pad prick Thai dam pork with black pepper

(muu) (nuuah) dat deeow (pork) or (beef) jerky



and some desserts

Taptim glorp sweetened water chestnuts in coconut milk with ice

Kow neeow bee-ahk black sticky rice with taro in coconut milk



these are but a bit of the iceberg. I have been back in the US for only 3 weeks and I am missing home like crazy. kittung Chiang Mai ba-hoy

[aseepish]

I miss the black clouds of gai yang smoke in the little market soi near where I was staying.

i like sticking my head in this and inhaling deeply, nothing clears the lungs as well as that.

[1oneder]

Follow where the vast amount of thai ppl eat most def the cleanest and best.
