Kanga Japan Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Is there a standard description/wording for the following, in Thai (relating to the cooking of steak): 1. Rare 2. Medium rare 3. Medium 4. Well-done So far, I have found the following: 1. RARE: KHON KHANG DIP (ค่อนข้างดิบ), MAI SUK MAK (ไม่สุกมาก) 2. MEDIUM RARE: SUK LEK NOI (สุกเล็กน้อย) 3. MEDIUM: SUK PAN KLANG (สุกปานกลาง), SUK SUK DIP DIP (สุกๆดิบๆ) 4. WELL-DONE: SUK MAK (สุกมาก), SUK MAK NOI (สุกมากหน่อย) Are Thai descriptions more commonly used, or are the English descriptions (as Thai loan words) more common? Thank you for your help.

Oxx Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Normally: แรร์ (Rare) มีเดียม แรร์ (Medium Rare) มีเดียม (Medium) มีเดียม เวล (Medium Well) เวล ดัน (Well Done) โอเวอร์คุก (Over cooked) See, for example https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%8A%E0%B8%81 Honestly, I think the Thai expressions you've found are too general and far from precise, unlike the English system.

Kanga Japan Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Dear Oxx, Thank you very much for that. Much appreciated. As I don't live in Thailand, I was not sure whether those English expressions were used (or could be understood). Many sites just gave a long explanation of how the meat was cooked.

painai2 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I use สุก or สุกๆ for well done. Also I've heard มีเดียม for medium well eating out with Thai friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanga Japan Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Dear Painai2, Thank you very much for that information. I think I might just add สุกๆ, because สุก can mean so many things. I will also keep มีเดียม. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
