RamenRaven Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparktrader Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparktrader Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Fried rice is fried rice. Hardly fusion food. Green curry pizza is fusion food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotnar Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited May 8, 2022 by dddave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamenRaven Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
