lomex32 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Nice share... as i also mentioned i need to bathroom towels I had an embarassing experience ..... dinner party in SingaporeThe Thai food was really great ....After i had the tom yam and prawns I started sweating heavily and soon all eyes in our table are on me ... teasing me I asked the waiter 3 more table napkins to manage my sweat..... Thai food rocks! Problem is, I have very little tolerance for spicy food. It would take a blanket to wipe me dry from perspiration. But I would still go for Thai food anytime! Quote Link to comment
sally bogna mathay Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 While tom yum is usually made with pranws or other seafood, there is also tom neua (beef tom yum). a northeast (Isan) Thai dish. This is like our nilagang baka, albeit very spicy and sour. Ahhhh...it's great with gai tot or gai yang (fried chicken with garlic or barbecued chicken), sticky rice and som tam (spicy papaya salad). Delicious! Quote Link to comment

Headroom Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 nothing can beat the noodle carts on the streets - love thai food - the more spicy the better for me It isn't hot enough until your eyes water, nose runs and you sweat buckets 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

sally bogna mathay Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 nung napunta ako Bangkok, kumain ako sa palengke, kumain ako hilaw na sitaw... eeewww, kasi gusto ko authentic na turo-turo kaya hayun tuloy, maanghang lahat! 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
