Captain Monday Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The pernicious effect of AMERICAs "rock and roll sushi" culture where every kind of maki is garnished with large flourishes of mayonnaise is apparent in Thailand. I forgot recently when I ordered a salmon skin roll from a Chiang Mai restaurant. Totally slathered in what is actually not mayo but sriracha infused low-quality "salad cream".

sikishrory Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Who needs 1000 island when you have 18 sachets of ketchup to indulge in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipalongcassidy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Traditionally Thai people have learned to add sauces and spice to their foods... this is a habit bourn out of necessity because of the low quality food sources... I have yet to find a decent pizza or for that matter real fish & chips here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I heard of pizza made with thousand island dressing here in the states. I guess if you like that sort of thing. It’s fine for the individual. But each country has its own variations of pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in Chonburi try the Pizzeria "Sicily" at the bottom (I mean lower end) of Lake Maprachan (Darkside). I know from experience that this is a good one. If in Bangkok I would have a look at Sarita, Thonglor. I did not try this one yet, but the story behind it is very promising (long tradition from Naples).

I made the mistake of ordering a chicken pizza from Pizza Company and to my surprise the sauce was 1000 Island Dressing. This was my mistake and I did not read the menu properly. Also, the full list of ingredients on the Grab App is sometimes difficult to read. And don't forget to smother it with ketchup too!!! Anyway Thai's love sweet, that's why.

And the quality is very low to boot. Best to avoid the junk they create. 1000 island dressing on a pizza is an abomination against Italy.

buick Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 i ordered a hawaiian from somewhere in buriram and i got the dreaded 1,000 island stuff. i actually ate a piece before i realized. so it wasn't unedible but i didn't eat another piece. i've had much better luck in BKK, tomato sauce at all times, no problems.

JimTripper Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) The Thai’s actually do the sauce thing even on local food. The street vendors want to put a bunch of junk on things, squirt bottle sauces, condiments, the roti is always drowned at the end, egg rolls are never served dry but need the red sauce on it in the bag, etc. They don’t like not putting it on even when you say no. It’s like it’s not good enough as it is and they feel like they need to “service the food” in some way to make you like it or so you see the effort and don’t complain. Weird.

Mind you I do eat top Italian pizzas in the main and a restaurant here makes great pizzas (with extra anchovies a must)!! Spoilt for choice.

Any colored portion of food must be removed. She cooked Crying Tiger for me one time and overcooked the steak. I went inside to get a drink and saw the pile of trimmings on the chopping board and hoovered them up… yum ! She took the dishes inside later and discovered that the black bits were missing and was frantic ???? I was in trouble again… ????????
