fang37 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Long before I arrived in LOS, my food preferences were Indian, Thai & Chinese. Now, no changes. Meat & 3 veg - no thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertthebruce Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I hear what you are saying, and i used to love ''indian' food, and also Chinese and Thai.. But since living here i have realised how unhealthy most Thai Food is , with all the Salt and Sugar and Soy Sauce and Syrup they put in.. At least back ''Home'', you can find various healthy options, here it is possible but you have to dig deep to find them.. one positive here, is all the ''lovely tropical Fruits'', whereas back home, it was ''Strawberrys'' in July and thats it..

fiddlehead Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Love Thai food. Still go for the occasional hamburger or burrito but, 80% of the time, it's Thai for me. (breakfast excluded: like my buttered toast or cinnamon roll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I enjoy both nearly everyday. I miss Indian, Turkish, Mexican and Chinese food, as was sold in the UK. The Chinese food available in Chaing Mai just tastes wrong. The Indian curries are just too watery ...... it's gotta be thick. Turkish and Mexican just non-existent. There were some great Turkish restaurants in central London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 95% of the food that I eat I cook myself. But that doesn't limit me to"farang" food. I cook Thai, Indian and other cuisines. I'm American and actually have a couple of cottage pies in the freezer that I made myself. I usually keep a ball of flour tortilla dough in the fridge and pull of a knob and make tortillas all of the time, a quick fresh bread. I've lived here 18 years and have learned to become creative.

If they made disposable pots and pans I would be the first in line to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Mostly western food. I don't mind Thai food once in awhile but unless you pay decent money you are stuck in very unpleasant places to eat it. If I pay decent money i might as well eat western. Also all the cooking at home is western. The western food in Thailand unfortunately is usually pretty bad but what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thai. I love Thai food, and the farang food here is on the most part overpriced and disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I also do 95% of the cooking. Evertything from Indian, Mexican, Italian....Western Fare. Keep premium steaks on hand. Love smoking/bbq'ing and grilling....lots of room for homemade sauces and marinades. Thai if done right is great but stuff in most places is sub par to me. My Gf is learning and after a year and a half has picked up a bit...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
