Not paying 100k a month for something to resemble western condo and not even get a dishwasher. And I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings here, but Thai food is one of the worst on the planet.

Popular Post BE88 Posted July 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2023 I really like Italian cuisine and here where I live there is no one capable of making me those dishes so with a lot of free time I have invented myself as a chef with more or less success, I usually succeed quite well, given the mediocrity of Western food that they sell in this country, it's pretty easy to do better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysdad Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I’m in my mid 70’s and can probably count the times I’ve cooked for myself on 2 hands. I am capable but have a no interest in cooking whatsoever. My wives have always done me proud with their culinary efforts and my Thai wife is perfectly happy to cook falang food for me at the same time as she cooks her own. It’s nothing to do with being lazy it’s simply no desire or interest in doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeat that's true, they monetize the vids by the number of click they get. Also some of them talk too much. But there are a lot of good ones I have a file in my favorites and when I find a recipe that works , I save it there for later use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound a lot like me although I have been cooking for myself for many decades, before my mother's home cooking killed me (almost serious). Like you, I do like Italian cuisine and often cook Italian dishes and sometimes play around with the recipes to suit my taste. Tonight I will be making a home-made pizza, a small one so that I can watch the waistline, and last night I cooked a Paella which I was a bit concerned about because I hadn't cooked one for 20 odd years, but it turned out fine. Every so often I will cook a beef bourguignon with plenty of red wine and a nice rich source in which to slow cook the beef. I do cook the occasional Thai dish and a Panang curry is tasty and easy to make, similarly with Laab Moo, Pad Krapow and Pad Thai. I used to cook quite a few Indian curries, but it's so easy to pick one up from a takeaway, that's what I do these days as they taste more "Indian" than mine do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A woman in our homes to cook Thai food for us. But why don't we make the effort to cook our own cultures food more? Today I did Cottage Pie, 0.5Kg minced pork, an onion, 0.75Kg of potato and some gravy powder. Brown the mince in a saucepan with a bit of oil, add water to cover + 3 teaspoons of gravy powder (or a couple of stock cubes from 7-11) + 1 chopped onion. Add in salt, pepper, chopped garlic if you can be bothered and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, put in a saucepan an cover with water, boil for 5 mins. Ladle the cooked mince into any style dish that you can put in an oven, not too wet! Pick out the cooked potato chunks, put in a bowl with a bit of milk, mash with a fork, cover up the mince. Put in an oven (Otto is fine) for around 15 mins at 150c, until the top browns. Then eat. 20mins of work costs about 100bht, enough for 3-4 portions. That looks tasty.

Hours wasted for a 20 minute meal, when you just can go to a shop and buy it ready-made, or even better go to a restaurant, where you can order it at almost the same price it cost you to do yourself. How about because you can make it exactly how you want it and not how somebody else wants to make it. More or less spicy as you like it, more of less meat and/or veg, thicker or thinner gravy. You can even make more portions and freeze the rest for later 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cook for yourself you can change and improve the recipe as you go along. If you buy it in a restaurant it will be bland for everybody and perhaps second rate too.

It depends on how many pies a day you eat and how many days a week you eat them. It also depends whether you make them yourself or buy them in. If you make your own, then you decide how much of what goes into them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Bill understand I'm not a food person so glad to get away from birthday parties, Christmas parties, Easter parties when I came to Thailand. At one time in my life Branston bake beans eaten out the can was lovely. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
