WineOh Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) one thing I do love about this country is the food.. It's truly great. Right now for me my favorite thai meal would be deep fried Larb Moo for starter & chicken masaman curry for the main. Washed down with an ice cold glass of beer and a glass of house red wine ???? Possibly some 'Nam Tok' for desert with my beer... What is your favorite Thai food? Edited January 18, 2021 by Liverpoolfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 I tend to go through fads of different dishes. The current favorite is also Massaman Chicken ! If we are outside for lunch, usually Pad grapow Moo with Kai dow or Phad Thai. I like Thai curry so the others are Paneng Gai and Geng phet Gai, excuse pronunciation, but I think you get what I mean.???? Also enjoy Moo Bing and sticky rice, walking around the market 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I am not a big fish eater and prefer chicken or Pork. One dish I had recently that was really good was deep fried belly pork in nam pla, the unusuall addition of the fish sauce gives it a real salty kick and its great ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Massaman curry, Thailand. One more reason to visit Thailand. Neapolitan pizza, Italy. Neapolitan pizza: always delicious no matter the size. ... Chocolate, Mexico. ... Sushi, Japan. ... Peking duck, China. ... CNN recently did a top 50 foods in the world. #1 was what you see. Nothing like a great steak, but that curry is delicious one of my favorites for sure.. Edited January 18, 2021 by bkk6060 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) It's a tossup between mussuman curry and pad siew gai. Call me biased, but my GF does both well. If she ever wanted to poison me, it would be a doddle. Just put it in either dish. Edited January 18, 2021 by Lacessit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WineOh Posted January 18, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) I remember when I first came to Thailand many moons ago I had never tried Thai food before. I was travelling in Chiang Mai with 2 brothers from scotland. I remember them taking me to a very local thai restaurant. I was terrified to try the food as I had read about the delhi belly etc.. Anyway they ordered a plate of pad thai pork for me, It was amazing. The cost of the dish including water was 30 baht. That was my first ever experience with Thai food of any kind.

scubascuba3 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Funny enough the best Thai food I've had was from the home of the Only way is Essex, Brentwood. Curried crab claws, amazing. Wasn't the same though with Essex birds serving the food 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 #1, Khao Soi Gai: Love the contrasting texture of soft and crispy noodles, mild curry broth and a half chicken leg. #2 Khao Muk Gai: Hard to find. Chicken slow cooked in with yellow rice: served with fried shallots and a delicious mint sauce. #3 Gai Yang: but only when freshly prepared. Most vendors in Bangkok sell pre-cooked gai yang and it's tough, dry and not properly marinated. #4 Kapow Moo Gorb: Probably not great for my arteries but I love it.

Andrew Dwyer Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Khao pad kung, Tom yum, pad thai , mussuman curry, pad krapow moo or talay.

DaLa Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 55 minutes ago, Liverpoolfan said: Not very Thai mate ???? Potatoes are grown in Thailand, ergo. I take the chicken out of my masaman and add extra pots as the chicken is usually stringy and has the greasy skin on. Also my wife is from the south and I just can't share her enthusiasm for her favoured food. Generally though I'm into the fish dishes here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooBigToFit Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don't have one thing that I really crave here anymore. Too often I choose PadGraPaoMoo (stiru-fried pork with basil and chilies) like most people. It has to be the most popular dish here other than Somtam. Besides that lately, I kind of like Yam Goonchian. That's the Chinese red sausage stuff in a Thai salad. I guess I am bored with Thai food.

I have to agree with you about pla chon. I love it deep fried and served with yum sauce made with green mango, shallots, lime juice and whatnot. Yum pla dook with the mango sauce is great. The first time I ate it, I couldn't believe it was deep fried fish. You didn't mention pla shoo shee. It's good when made with any of several fresh water fish. I find it just a bit too rich so I don't eat much each time. I was surprised to see that you like pug kha shed. The vegetable I'm referring to seems to be mostly a long stem with a few small leaves and kind of fibrous texture. My wife loves it.... me... not so much but it seems most suitable in gang som. I love most of the greens stir fried in Thai style. Pug kana, pug bung, pug waan, pug yod mallah... + a few I don't remember the names. Bon appétit!

I eat and like nearly all thai, Issan and Southern food. The one thing I can not resist even if I am full is Kor Moo Yang, (grilled pork neck) fresh off the grill with sticky rice and the Nam Jim Jeaow sauce. Row Norm Yang (pigs tits) is just as good and similar. Hoy tord is good for a greasy snack when on the booze. I like my somtam Thai with corn and salted egg.
