Thai food is favored by a special segment of the A, B, and upper C crowd. It's also not a popular choice. If given a selection between American, Chinese, Filipino and Thai cuisine, Filipinos tend to go for the first three. Also, if you're planning to sell to restaurants, please research well. Most spices used by the restaurants are brought in by the Thai chefs/cooks and sell thru their small network. Others that can be grown locally are cultivated in the backyards of the chefs/cooks (pandan, basil, lemon grass, etc).

 

If you're thinking of the instant noodle soup version of Tom Yum xxxxx (goong, po taek, nui, etc), you might have a market, but there are several brands locally available already.

 

Which Thai rice variety do you plan to bring in? Jasmine rice is already available in the supermarkets. Also, restaurants serving Thai food sometimes use Sinandomeng and Dinorado without any noticeable change, specially if it's Khao kluk kapi (bagoong rice). Only Jasmine rice is required for Khao suai (steamed rice).

We used to operate a restaurant in Makati. Our emphasis was authenticity. We operated for 13 years, but due to unfavorable economic circumstances, we had to close it (with much regret) last year.

 

It would be great if you can corner the distributorship here. But consumer education will be key to your success. The typical Filipino doesn't know the different flavors of Thai cuisine. Basta sa Pinoy, maanghang ay maanghang. Hindi nila masabi ang anghang galing sa paminta, luya, sili, curry, etc.

 

Good luck! Hope things turn out well! :thumbsupsmiley:

gusto ko thai food...pero condiments, bago sakin to...ang natikman ko palang ung super hot sauce na pasalubong sakin from thailand at patis na nabili namin sa supermarket at nagulat ako na made in thailand pala.

 

try mo sa SR THAI resto sa tapat ng Blue Eagle Gym along katipunan, i regularly eat there pero walang binebenta na condiments or any other thai stuff.

 

main branch nila sa may dapitan sa UST ata.

 

ok siguro kung makakausap mo ung thai na may-ari regarding ur business.

Thai food is really good. Worked for 2 thai restos before. there is not an item in the menu that I didn't like.

But thai food is good only if you use the real stuff. D pede substitute. taste is different. Kaya lang that makes it expensive. Kaya naging fad lang dito satin in the 90's ang thai food.

S' aldrich, if u can make a miracle and bring the price down, you'll be rich. otherwise, 50/50 chance to succeed.

just my 2 cents worth of opinion

Nothing beats Thai street food.

 

You can actually get a full course dinner on the streets along Silom in Thailand...

 

And their Thai Papaya Salad with the crushed talangka , while an acquired taste, is to die for.

 

Not to mention the skewered fruits they sell of the streets, the spicy tamarind that the street peddlers hawk, those little barbeque/kebabs that are grilled by the roadside.

 

The variety and depth of Thai street food is just amazing - there is a street food for every meal!
