Somtamnication Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Rotis, fried chicken, soups? Your favorite places around the island? I have no experience eating their local food. I am very used to Mediterranean food, such as The Family in Chalong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 A good everyday meal that is worth trying is Kow Mook Gy. Yellow rice that has bits of fried onion and stuff mixed in, with a piece of fried chicken. Yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow rice that has bits of fried onion and stuff mixed in, with a piece of fried chicken. Yummy. One of my favourite dishes of all time. The sauce can make all the difference though. Some stalls do it much spicier and with more flavour than others. Don't forget to get a hard boiled egg or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyb Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) are you sure it's curry in the ข้าวหมกไก่ because a muslim neighbor said it was saffron. and seriously, you shouldn't be so worked up over someone spelling it like "kow mook gy" as it is pretty phonetic.

Here, here, amyb, I always get a laugh out of posters arguing over the romanized spelling of Thai words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlehead Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Not sure how i ever functioned without rotis. And some are definitely better than others. The guy who works every night about halfway between Chalong circle and Sai Yuan makes them best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyleonhard Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Not sure how i ever functioned without rotis. Absolutely amazing rotis - Malaysian style "roti prata" - at the shop next to SCB Bank downtown. Try the goat/mutton gaeng on an egg prata. I used to fly to Singapore to get rotis as good. Took me years to find this shop. OP - "Muslim" food is called "Halal" and it's close to "Kosher" in many respects. Food sold with a "Halal" inscription must, by Thai law, meet specific manufacturing and handling requirements. No pork is just part of the picture. Brief description at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal_Cooking . There's a Thai overview at http://www.halal.or.th/en/main/index.php Edited February 25, 2011 by woodyleonhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
