Do you often make Thai/Western fusion food?

Featured Replies

For expats who have lived in Thailand for some time:

 

Thai food gets repetitive.

But then Western food also tastes much blander after you've been exposed to a lot of Thai food.

There's no way you can eat only either type of food for eternity.

 

So I make cool fusion food at home. Some of my friends do too.

 

- Oatmeal is tastier as tom yum oatmeal. Yum yum!

- Khao man gai + feta cheese and potatoes!

- Baked potatoes with Thai chili sauce

- Most Thai rice dishes go well with baked beans in tomato sauce

- KFC is tastier with boiled rice

 

and more.

 

What are some of your favorite homemade fusion dishes?

 

None of those dishes sound good. I dont think fusion food works.

 

Rather have the real thing. Some Pizza joints have tried it and failed.

Sticky rice burgers at 7-Eleven are good.

 

And so is Khao Pat American (American fried rice).

Thais would sometimes ask me if American fried rice was indeed popular in America - which is like Americans asking if Panda Express and orange chicken are popular in China.

 

There's a lot of fusion food in Thailand and in places like Hawaii. They're a lot more interesting and better in my opinion.

Fried rice is fried rice. Hardly fusion food. 

 

Green curry pizza is fusion food.

As is Kentucky Fried Sushi 

I add some MSG to meals.

My Spaghetti bolognese and MSG is to die for.

 

I like green curry with potatoes and veg. 

Green curry with chips. 

Kal pat krapow with pela rice.

Baked potato with nam prik ong is good.

About the only Thai food I eat.

Don't care for rice, and rarely eat.  Pastas are a fine substitute in many Thai dishes, and pairs well with many Thai spices & flavors. Even potatoes work, limited options though.

A bit redundant, as tomato have their own already.

but the added MSG just boost the flavour so much.

 

I love Thai fusion food.

I once had in a restaurant a salmon fillet served on a bed of squid ink tagliatelle with a Thai red curry sauce which I really enjoyed.

Krapow Moo except made with beef hamburg instead of pork and a touch...OK, large blob of BBQ sauce.

Best thing about it is nobody in the household wants to share.

French fries with pla muk todd, mu todd, or garlic shrimp, beer and a movie.

Vanilla ice cream with small lump of durian, blended or smashed.

Most Westerners end up with gag reflexes when they try durian.

 

You must be hardcore.

Balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar, which you can easily get at Makro or Rimping, go well with just about any Thai "yam" (spicy veggie salad/rice) dish, or even khao man gai.

 

I've often seen Thais eat pizza with som tam as a side dish.
