AutoPimp Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 a fan of Thai food here.. im workin' in a Thai owned store back here.. and i love 'em, it could be mah boss cooks 'em so good or it's just naturally good.. i think it's both of 'em.. :mtc: Quote Link to comment
sally bogna mathay Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 sbm What are unique thai ingredients not usually found here?They uselemon grass, wansoi, pandan, dahon sili which are also locally available Well, among them are Kaffir lime, a type of lime that can be compared probably to our dayap but with a different tanginess; galanggal, a type of ginger that is pungent in a very different way; the Thais also have different types of coriander (wansoi)--sweet, pungent, strong--we have coriander here but we don't normally use it in our cuisine. The Thais also use mint leaves a lot, as well as tamarind paste. They have other pre-made pastes--shrimp, fish, chili. Also pre-made sauces made specifically for certain dishes. I have seen some of these pastes and spices in supermarkets here, but very limited types. Yes, we have lemon grass and pandan too but again we don't really use it that much in our food. Other herbs have Thai names and I don't know their equivalent here. I'm sure some organic farms produce these herbs and spices, but then again the prices may be quite high. The thing with Thia foo, like Indian food, uses much more spices and herbs that Pinoy food, so the lack of any single one will really make a difference in taste. Quote Link to comment

Northeast (Isan) Thai cuisine is usually accompanied by raw vegetables, like beans, cabbage and herbs. Also, the rice used is the kao neaw (sticky rice). You roll it into balls, dip in sauce and eat with your hands. It is great with their version of barbecued chicken (gai yang) and lap moo (minced pork with mint, onions, chili). The sticky rice can also be dipped into coconut milk and eaten with sweet mango as dessert. HEAVEN! Quote Link to comment
luvsex Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It's a shame kaffir lime leaves and galanggal are so hard to find here. Even our lemongrass is nothing like the real Thai ones. Anybody know where to get these? Quote Link to comment

sally bogna mathay Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Now I am even more confused! Pareng Lomex, shall we resked our EB at Somm's (Alger branch) this week? The prices mentioned there are very, very reasonable. And thanks for the attached article. I am already salivating for the tom yam! Quote Link to comment
charmee Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Tried Soms on Algier St. and the one on Reposo St. , of course, the food tastes the same. I'd prefer to eat in Reposo Branch though and save myself from the bugs and the heat. Quote Link to comment

charmee Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 How much would be the estimated cost of a lunch or dinner for two (three dishes)? Thanks. 3 dishes, 2 cups of rice, 2 drinks = total bill might be 350-400. Quote Link to comment

Talaga? How disappointing! Did you try the tom yam? Actually, there is no such thing as bagoong rice served on the streets of Bangkok. The same with chicken wrapped in pandan leaves that I notice is on the menu in every Thai resto in Manila.. The Thais have their own bagoong that is similar to what we have here. But it is never served together with rice. Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 At the next table they ordered the Tom Yam ... the smell seemed OK when it passed by our table Ang comment ko lang ... the food seemed to be pre-cooked Talaga?

Jacques Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Gotta love their curries. (Red, Green or Yellow) As long as it's mildly spicy and plunged with coconut milk. Any meat/vegetable that goes with it tastes great. Although it is a Malay/Thai fusion like resto, I recomend Penang Hill (greenhills and Shang) Large servings and good prices. I love their crispy catfish salad. Sisig like crunchiness and aroma of diced catfish meat with green mango strips, chilis and peanuts topped with lemon dressing. The ultimate appetizer.

kLique Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 is Flavors and Spices still around?back then... I would go here whenever I was craving for thai food! Quote Link to comment
