TAWP Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I love Thai food, but there is also so much other food in the world that is great...in places that has decent wine. And here we clearly suffer from having a very limited subset of wines imported...to very high prices. And how anyone can mention insects and food in the same article...well... Sure, it is exotic...

wintermute Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Remove the Wine from "Food & Wine" and add the South East to the "Asia", and I agree 100%.

Ulysses G. Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Singapore, Saigon and Hanoi are much better and I would guess that Hong Kong is too. Edited October 8, 2011 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think shrimp and lobsters are? They are insects!! ... i.e., arthropods that live in the sea. We like to eat what we're culturally used to. Indeed it was a very adventurous caveman who at the first oyster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roota Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Phat thai and insects . . . sounds like the writer has a really keen grasp of the full spectrum of Thai cuisine. I've spent 30+ years professionally seeking out 'food and wine destinations' in Asia, and offhand my ranking would be 1) Tokyo, 2) Singapore, 3) Hong Kong. Bangkok maybe after that . . . well, if you ignored the 'wine' part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinook Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Trip Advisor...do me a favour, this website is mainly used by backpackers trying to find the cheapest room in the multiverse, not by connoisseurs of wine and fine foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serenitynow Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 It is the best global city for THAI food though. For breadth of cuisine probably, but to be honest, the best Thai food I have ever eaten was in Portland, Oregon of all places and at an Isaan restaurant at that. Sure I paid at least 10 times over the mark, but man, was it delicious, and authentic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickFarang Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 "World class Thai beers such as Singha and Chang"...obviously written by someone who has never actually had a Thai beer. Or only Thai “beer” for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
