Not in the picture was somtum pu plara and a bottle no 57. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it perfectly. Just came home and missus said sit down food is ready, rice somtum kanomjeen.. I told her not wait me I am in the kitchen preparing french fried, burger and peanutsauce and all that just went in my belly. Need to recharge myself time by time with "farang" food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The sad, hard, dirty secret that I have arrived at after 30 years in Asi6is that foreigners don't like Asian food. Despite living here they expect to eat it no more than back home. They dislike rice and would never dream of eating it for breakfast. Spice, they simply can't handle it. Then they complain about the cost of living ever increasing while indulging in all sorts of rubbish foods from home countries. Absolutely never understood how farang gain/ keep so much weight on here. Well because they don't eat local. Never. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Often I eat Thai noodle soup or khanom chin in the market. And my gf is a very good cook for Thai food. I love especially all the curry with coconut (kati). But I also make my own pork chop or steaks at home. And I like nice buffets in some 5 star hotels. All in all I eat what I like when I like it. When I arrived in Thailand I somehow had the idea to only eat Thai food. After a while I was not happy with that anymore. Then I eat more western food. And now it's a mix and that mix also includes Japanese food (especially sushi), Korean BBQ, etc. By now it seems everything is available in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its a personal thing I have lived 21 years Cant eat Thai food in morning ugh simply can't face it! ...i simply cannot vaguely see how people can get enthralled about the food IMHO thai food is poor in comparison to most foods especially Good indian food or Middle eastern or Turkish food... or even fish n chips Edited February 15, 2020 by poohy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian food is very hit and miss. In India is pretty disgusting usually. Turkish food? Yeah I'll just step outside for that. If you're living off fish and chips you're gonna die. That's probably worse for you than McDonald's. It took me many years to be ok with rice in the mornings but it's a non issue now. My go to breakfast is noodles.

I love noodles This goes to show how different people and their tastes are, i can eat Indian food for breakfast i think its the spices are different in that food, plus i am used to it In Thailand I crave fish n chips, of course i dont eat daily in UK but i do scoff some regularly as i know i wont get it here...same with real beer! But when i am away from Thailand i never get a craving or desire for thai food, not that there's anything really wrong with it but just to me its nothing special certainly nothing to get excited about!

Yes Thai food is overrated, and farang food is not pies and chips and burgers and pizza, this is what you call junk food and it is eaten all over the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
