Goldenbead Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 So many delicious foods, so little time!! I think Thai food is great. I love tom yam, somtam, tom kha, chicken in pandanus leaf, laab and pak boong fai deng. The list of things I enjoy eating is too long to type here. Anything without prawns for me. (allergic unfortunately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I'm a 'Phet-Waan' (Hot'nSweet) kinda guy. I like crunchy/chewy textures... Som Tam is alltime favorite (and yet to get the trots, either!) I often prefer it using unripe Mango, rather than the normal Papaya I also like homemade stir-frys using a mixture of East-West ingredients. one of those things bachelors learn to make, it seems. A potpourri of whatever is around, tossed about in a wok with plenty of garlic and pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I like the TYG flavoured noodles and I like chicken and sticky rice if they are of good quality which they very rarely are. Some of the others are ok and I like one of the desserts despite having a savoury tooth but generally I find Thai food is best avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 ... Som Tam is alltime favorite (and yet to get the trots, either!) ...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Would have to agree, I think there is something about eating spicy, (chilies ...) that helps prevent diarrhea pathogens from taking hold, never had any issues in that department, Staying with spicy and lots of it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Mee Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 For a nice snack, nothing beats some "Me-an Kam". The ground up coconut, small shrimps, chopped onions etc. wrapped in a lettuce-type leaf with that special sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the seeds and shred the flesh with a grater. Set aside. Place the garlic cloves and chillies in a mortar and mash with a pestle until crushed into pieces. Add the papaya and the remaining ingredients and gently combine all with the pestle and a spoon.

gcw16 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I don't know the name of it in Thai, but in English it is usually just called Spicy Beef Salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonabot Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 My fave is Yam Pla Muk , with shed loads of Pri-Ki-noo , a few ice cold Singha's , and the Mrs for dessert. ( Brush teeth between courses though........ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as strong a tone to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, if made right it is delicious. Perfect with cold beer on a hot day. Another nice one with beer is Nam Tok (Moo/Neua). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayenram Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 -pad thai (but hard to find a good one) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Had an excellent Pad Thai in the Radisson Hotel in BKK. However, it was Bht 140.00++ as was a small Carlsberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 My missis used to make, in Malaysia, what I considered the best Tom Yam, khung and gai together. She always used tiger prawns and the best pieces of chicken breast. Oooo, I can taste it again now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
