junkofdavid2 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Please list your favorite dishes with English translation. Please use Western alphabet for those of us who can't read Thai. I'll start with mine: Moo Krob Kratiyem - Crispy Fried Pork stir fried with garlic Kapow Moo Krob - Crispy Fried Pork stir fried with garlic, basil, and some kinda sauce. Kana Moo Krob - Some kind of thick crunchy green vegetable stir fried with crispy pork, chili, and a little garlic. Gkung Kratiyem - Prawns stir fried in garlic Kaw Pad Pla Kem - Fried rice with salted fish Koi Dai - Clams stir fried in chili, ginger, and some kind of slightly sweet sauce Het Sot - Mushrooms stir fried Gai Thod - Fried chicken (in some places, it's dam_n good and tasty, must be the Thai marinade or the overly re-used oil!)

peterpaintpot Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Oops, Sorry!! Meant to say: my personal favourite is KAENG MATSAMAN NEUA, beef matsaman - similar to good old "English Curry", contains onion, potato, peanuts, coconut milk and has a much thicker sauce than a green or red curry! You can substitute pork or chicken for the beef. If anyone is interested I have a cookery book for Thai food where the left hand page is Thai and the right hand is English so my wife and I can both easily read it. It was very useful in England when my wife was shopping for Thai ingredients. Details are: ISBN 9747160-72-2, Authentic Thai Food, published by Sangdad Publishing Co. Ltd. We paid 295 baht for it - a snip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I knocked up an idiots guide to Thai stuff on excel that did a bit of menus, some food shopping, building bits and odd names etc but I didn't get my wife to type all the Thai langusge bits for me, I suspect she was a bit lazy and I forgot about it. Here is is if anybody wants it. idiots_guide_to_Thai_stuff.xls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
