That says it all.

You really are bad with statistics.

Says the man who claims he knows the menus of 2700 Thai restaurants in Australia. 🤣🤣🤣

Your logic is daft. They only need a sample size of 1000 for accurate opinion polls with a population of millions lol

Basic stats champ. You failed hahaha

Not only that menus are available online lol

You are clueless. Most restaurants are on google maps. Their menus are available. You obviously failed stats and geography.

Massaman curry is very common in Thai restaurants across Australia, particularly as a popular and beloved dish on menus nationwide. It is frequently featured in both casual dining spots and upscale restaurants, often highlighted as a signature or chef’s special. For example, it's a standout item at Sydney’s It’s Time for Thai and Brisbane’s Choc Dee Thai Restaurant, where it's served with steamed rice and praised for its rich, creamy, and aromatic profile.

While beef is the most common protein used in Australian versions, especially in restaurants, this differs from Thailand, where chicken and pork are more traditional. The preference for beef in Australia is likely due to its suitability for slow cooking and better storage/reheating properties compared to chicken, which can break down when reheated.

You said "90% of Thai restaurants in Aus sell Massaman". There are 3000 Thai restaurants in Aus. You didn't do a poll. You stated a supposed fact.

Some live their lives by assumptions. That line comes from AI, where it says, "Given its status as a staple, it is safe to assume that a very high percentage—likely over 90%—of traditional Thai restaurants in Australia offer Massaman curry. " This is a guess based on it's popularity in Thai restaurants there. Some have limited knowledge on things and quickly seek AI for answers to back up their guesses.

You have never been there. Green curry, massaman are very common. You talk about places you have never been a lot. Issan people prefer Isaan food and it's amazing you don't know this. They love chillies. Aussies don't like chillies much at all. Most Thai dishes are watered down. Glad I could educate you.

How would you know where I've been? You do realize a person can gain a whole lot of information about all places worldwide by sitting at their computers right? Oh wait, that's where you get your links from trying to disprove others here. I probably knew more about Thailand before I moved here than you know now.

Many here think you have only visited here and brag about so many places just to rile them up. Where exactly are you? In Sydney using your computer to look up things Thailand?

How would you know what Isaan people prefer? Have you taken a poll of people you can't even communicate with? Thai people eat all types of food. The poor stick to simple dishes, made from things they can collect along roadways, along with the inevitable rice, fish caught in paddies, chickens they raise, along with the eggs, and when they get some extra money, go to shops to buy more, especially street markets where many sell vegetables and fruits. Those with more money can go to restaurants, along with buying more at the usual places, including Big C, Lotus, Tops, Central and others.

I ate with my ex wife's family for 5 years before we split, and know full well what they eat here in Isaan, along with the last 5 years with my girlfriend and her friends and family, which includes many families she works in the government with. It's amazing how many times you're proven wrong and still have the courage to come back and look even worse.

I'm not lecturing you but pointing out things I know about. If you stopped assuming what others know, you wouldn't look so bad here. I actually base everything I talk about on facts, and by researching things I'm interested in.

Had Isaan friends for 25 years. I told you this before. My gf is from Isaan. I know exactly what they like.

I've been to loads of restaurants in Isaan. I've been to every large market and food court.

Central Thai food is not popular or common there.

When I posted this topic, I asked members to provide restaurants they've tried in Isaan they like, so others like myself could possibly try them. Actual restaurants, and locations, not'"I've been to hundreds", which doesn't say anything useful.

You can only go by your opinion, which is what others would do, and not guess what others will like but just to list places they've tried.

I can tell of many places back in 4 states in the US I've been to, along with the dishes I've tried. I provided places I've tried here in my post, so others might try them. That's the reason for this topic.

I like Udon for farang food, Nong Khai for Vietnamese food, Chiang Khan for Lao food. Udon has good Isaan food also. For Thai food I found one nice place in Udon but overall its better in Bangkok.

Ok. As an example, tell me how many large markets and food halls you've been to in Roiet, Surin and Buriram. The total of all 3 will do.

Thanks.

Again, I asked for actual locations, not just cities. You can get all types of Thai food all over Thailand. Look at my OP and maybe you'll get what I mean.

Then why does every food court have Central Thai food stalls? Kuay Thiaw of all kinds, Kau Ka Mu, Kau Man Gai, Mu Dang, Mu Kop, Kau Mok Gai, Hoy Taht. Not to mention Pad Thai. Every food court sure as can be has each of these dishes with families enjoying. Especially if they are air conditioned. 🙃

Very basic food. Lots of food courts don't have many dishes. Korat has the best food court.

Take a minute and read what I posted. I asked so others might visit places others have tried and liked, in all provinces. I listed a few in Sisaket and can list more if they are living close to me. This is to help people who are either new here or haven't had a chance to go out in their area, but where others have. Name actual places. There are thousands of markets in Isaan that serve all types of food. Untold thousands of small restaurants and shops, with some small places having excellent Thai food of many types.

No, but then it's very rare to find someone from Isaan who is.

How many members want to visit Sisaket?
