Healthy Options

[Happee]

Morning,

Having trouble finding real healthy food here in Bangkok... everything deep fried. Even when you find some boiled rice with some meet or noddle soup where there is no frying in sight, still no vegetables.

Not too bothered about the frying, like fried stuff.. could just use some more vegetables Can anyone recommend some healthy, vegetable packaged options here in central Bangkok...Sathorn/Silom/Siam?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by "packaged options", but if you're looking for Thai restaurant dishes with vegetables, then most places will have Phat Phak Ruam Mit (mixed stir-fried vegetables). Also look for Nam Phrik dishes - raw or lightly cooked vegetables served with a chilli dip. Also consider Kai Phat Met Mamuang (chicken stir-fried with cashnuts and vegetables - usually onion, carrot and capsicum). Many times of Yam (Thai salad) are good, too, for example, Yam Makuea Yaaw (long aubergine salad) and Yam Tua Plu (wing bean salad).

Hi AyG,

I mean't packed, it was a typo sorry.

Thanks for your reply, I'll look out for those dishes, especially Yam Makuea Yaaw.

Cheers,

If I were you, I'd get noodle soups, and yums (Thai salad). Oh and kai pa-low, although the tofus are deep fried. ahhh

Oh and chap-chai is also good. It has lots of veggies.

Yes, jup-chai is delicious with lots of green vegetables.
