natalieee Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Where in Bangkok can I buy zucchini? I can't remember ever seeing it anywhere but I was thinking of trying Villa and Gourmet Market (Em Quartier) in Phrom Phong today, any suggestions?

AyG Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I bought them this morning in Big C, which was a bit of a surprise. "Farm Boy" organic brand. 103 baht/Kg. Usually available in Villa and Gourmet Market. Not so often in TOPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midasthailand Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Make sure you get Zucchini and not japanese cucumber! I made the mistake and japaneses cucumber does not make a good substitute for Spaghetti! Zucchini does! (after shredding with spiral shredder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalieee Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 That's exactly what I want to use it for! Did you get the spiral slicer here? I was planning to just use a box grater.

stillbornagain Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I often see it at the Makro in Chiang Mai. I assume Makro would also offer it in Bangkok. One thing I've noticed about a lot of the zucchini grown in Thailand. It can often have a bitter flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Of course it is often labelled as "courgette"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Of course it is often labelled as "courgette"... That would be the English term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of words. Doesn't make it any less English! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
