JR Texas Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 JR Great stuff. Your spelling needs work.POBLANO Jalapeno But I'll bet there are quite a few people interested. I would get a hold of Doug at Bourbon Street & I'll bet John at Eurogormet would also buy some. You might have a tidy little income from it. Any chance you could could grow habanero peppers? Thanks The actual Mexican words require a fancy addition that I don't have. I am sure I can get the seeds for just about any pepper.......whether the Thai govt. will allow them into the country and let me grow them is another matter. It might be worth exploring. When I try Mexican food in Thailand I never "smell it." By that I mean it never smells like Mexican food. The reason is that they are not using the proper ingredients.......Mexican food is not easy to make...takes skill. But, if I grow it, they may just come.

gdorchester Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 There's a new Mexican Place in the Khao San Road area on Rambuttri that I have checked out and is worth a visit. It is called Mexican Tartars and it is on the end of Rambuttri by a Pizza Company and 7-11. It is a small place, but has a good atmosphere and the prices are good for what you get....79 Baht for a margarita or one of a long list of other cocktails and 3 tacos run you about 150 Baht. I talked with the owners who are a pretty cool couple and they get their shells from a mexican lady in town. The menu isn't as extensive as some of the other places in town, but their food is fresh and they do what they do well including a decent Guac. They have also started doing daily specials including Margarita Mondays and Teacher Tuesdays. They are a great choice if you are out in that part of town as they are open 24 hours and an awesome choice after a solid night out. Plus they have a fully stocked bar that doesn't seem to shut down. I definitely recommend stopping by. For the vegetarians out there they can also make any dish veggie style. Oh yeah, and for all you other tequila fans out there they have a half decent selection to choose from.....6 or 7 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I agree about Mexican Tartars. Good food and their 24 hour service is great. Tacos, burritos, nachos, and guac are all tasty and at a good price, and you can customize each order taqueria style. Great option for the Khao San area, so much of the foreign food there is mediocre and over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphodbeeblebrox Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I would say yes. I would add the Serrano for its heat, which I have seen sold at Tops. A personal favorite of mine is the Onza Roja from Oaxaca, but this may be a bit exotic for your needs and the Serrano can be a substitute for it. Habaneros are primarily used in Caribbean cooking, but are used in the nearby Yucatan. chili encyclopedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you could do get by reasonably well with a selection of poblanos, serranos, and jalapenos, along with the Thai phrik chee fah , which is rather similar to chile de arbol, which is used both fresh and dried in Mexico. One correction, the chipotle is a smoked (and dried) jalapeno. The best are smoked over fires made with jalapeno foliage. I would imagine you can find canned chipotles in adobo sauce somewhere in Bangkok; many Mexicans used canned chipotles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello sabaijai, I have two 1-OZ seed(4,000) packs from 2 different seed companies, they use only the 'A' word, not the 'P' word on the packs. At the end of the growing cycle you have an Ancho, thats what is being sold, not an unripe fruit. If you want to pick early, thats your choice and the fruit then goes by Pobiano. rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello J R Texas, a friend gave them to me in Pattaya. A Pablano is a green unripe Ancho chili, Ancho's are 'RED' when ripe and usually dried. They can be whole pod or ground into powder. It's 75+ days for Ancho's after transplanting. The number of days given on tomato, eggplant and chilli/pepper's is always after transplanting, not from seed. The picture in my first post are 2-day after sprouting, it's a bitch with the rain's and no greenhouse. rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 In Mexico they call it chile poblano when fresh, chile ancho when dried, and that's usually how chile fanatics in the USA define them as well.

Of course, no matter whether they are called poblano or ancho seeds, you end up with a pablano plant and the poblano peppers can be dried/dehydrated to form the ancho peppers. So, looks like we have the answer to chile relleno w/ ancho sauce..........now, about tamales. Thailand has so much corn......but it is nearly impossible to find dried corn that has not been sprayed with chemical pesticides and who knows what else. All we need is good, dried corn and tamales can be made along with fresh corn tortillas........any idea on where to get dried corn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rice555 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hello J R Texas, read the reply to sabaijai about the 'A' thing. I like my rellenos made from NuMex chilies with more heat like the Sandia, and will try Barker Hot(30,000 SVU) this year. Do you know what type of corn your looking for? There's more than pop and sweet you know. We use to talk about Mexico over spraying in the US. But not to worry, LOS doesn't grow the right corn, but maybe my Oaxacan green dent corn seed will, no? I would be more worried about produce from China more than here, todays B-P had another CN baby formula incident. At the Suk Soi 2 Villa store back a few years, a lady was selling tamales and other Mexican dishes on the R/H side by the freezer cases(before remodeling) , for Thailand, they were very good. One company had an add in N.Cal. that "Tuesday is Red's Tamoles Day",(late 50's-60's), but nothing like the small homemade ones.

Obviously the seed packs are labelled in English so I'm assuming these are US-grown seeds, and perhaps that's what they call them in America. In Mexico only the dried ripe poblano is called ancho.

The only thing I know about palano and ancho is that in Texas Latinos, to the best of my knowledge, call the green, ripe form pablano.......it is mostly the green form that is dried to make ancho, not the red form. But, I am sure some people both eat the red form and dry it too. Having said that, I have no idea what type of corn I want. I want to make tamales.........I want to make cornbread........I want to make corn tortillas. Thailand has so much corn and it looks great..........what I can't get is the dried corn that is fit to eat........they dry it but use it for planting and it has pesticides all over it.

This thread is about good Mexican food in Thailand.......some of us are convinced there is no good Mexican food in Thailand and have come to the conclusion that the problem is the lack of authentic ingredients, especially the essential peppers. We just wanted to discuss it and then it will likely be dropped and the people who want to tell us all how fantastic the Mexican food is in Thailand can have their say again.

jfchandler Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I myself like Sunrise at Soi 12 and eat there regularly for the food.... But I can vouch for what Dotcom reported above...since we ate together that day. My order, stock off the menu without any changes or adds, came out fine. His order, which involved some paid extras, came out without them. And when he asked the staff to remedy the problems, they didn't do so in any way. I mean, for example, it's pretty easy and unmistakable to see if sour cream has been added to the inside of a beef burrito or not... He paid extra for it, but sure didn't get any inside his burrito... That was very obvious to see. And when he asked the waiter about it, the waiter's only response was, it's already inside -- when it was easy to see as I also did, there was nothing creamy/white there at all. About the flies... dunno what to say about that... That day/afternoon, there indeed was quite a flock buzzing around the inside of the restaurant. Never myself noticed that as a problem before. Maybe somebody had left one of the doors open earlier in the day. Again, I can vouch for Dotcom's report about that...at least for that afternoon.
