Makan in Thailand

[steveluv]

I know this is a Singapore forum but as I live in Thailand I am wondering if it is appropriate to post about food in Thailand here. It could be Thai food, international food, my home cooking food in Thailand etc. I wish to also welcome anyone here to contribute your experience of Thai food in Singapore or anywhere. If anyone think its not appropriate do let me know.

 

For a start here's one of my favourite Thai food khanom-jeen, had this last week near my office

 

Khanom-Jeen is the white soft rice noodle in Thailand made from fermented rice so it has to be eaten fresh after its made if not will turn sour quickly and spoil. Khanom-jeen is usually take with Thai curry and most commonly with Thai green curry known as gaeng-keow-wan literally  translated word by word curry-green-sweet or for our easy understanding sweet green curry, and in this case for chicken green curry we call it gaeng-keow-wan-gai, gai as in chicken.

 

This is rural area so the simple and rural setup

Besides making khanon-jeen-gaeng-keow-wan in very traditional taste the seller is also very sweet and cute so my favourite stall

 

 

I can down 2 of her khanom-jeen any time

 

 

 

Each is only 40 baht

I will and I hope on a daily basis, I got to eat everyday right? But it will not always be Thai food only. Thailand has very good Italian, Japanese, Korean too as there are many foreigners working and living here.

 

Your photos, do you live here too or you took when you visited? Beautiful.

Oh ok ok. Its Terminal 21 foodcourt. I've never been to Terminal 21 but passed by there many times and dropped people off there a couple. Always heard people talk about this foodcourt even Thais said its good and cheap. One day I must go.

Went to wash car and then to the gym so came to office late, stopped by near office stall for brunch

 

Krapow-moo-saap (Thai basils with minced pork) with rice is I must say the Thai national dish. Its what we will call comfort food, cheap, easy to cook and consists of meat, vege and rice. Krapow and rice is eaten anytime of the say and can be found anywhere and everywhere. Even at home if I want a simple meal I will tell my maid to cook this for me.

 

with egg, meal costs 50 baht or $2 (comes with free water and tissue paper standard in Thailand)

 

Of course on the table will have all the standard sauces and sugar and chili powder

 

Avery good satisfying meal made fresh every plate

I am a Singaporean living in Thailand for the past 13 years. I'm afraid I have no idea. Isn't arapaima only found in the Amazon?

i can see the reasons why you like this noodle very much. The attraction must be in the form of the fairer sex.

 

Which part of Thailand are you located? Can give a bit of write up? Very interested. Thank you.

She is beautiful and cute. I’m in Bangkok. I should be posting in this thread regularly so you should be able to find lots of food stuff here if you have questions about Thailand you can also post here.

 

I’m just afraid the moderators here may not like me posting Thai stuff in a Singapore forum but please let me know.

Bangkok is a food paradise as all will know. Its not just for Thai food and its street food but also a range of very good international cuisine. If one is craving for Chinese cuisine as in the real stuff like Cantonese and Teochew like East Ocean and Paradise in Singapore I will highly recommend Hong Bao. There are 5 branches all located at high end malls serving mainly Thailand's upper-class Chinese. 

 

Just finished lunch at Hong Bao's branch in Crystal Park Mall with a 2 customers 

 

I simply love the restaurant's crunch preserved radish, ask for more

 

Started with crispy pork and roast duck and boiled chicken

 

 

Then its dimsum. Thais love dimsum. Just go to any 7Eleven you can find a cabinet full of different types of bao, siew-mai, har-gao etc etc but then these 7Eleven dimsum I am sure Singaporeans will not like. Then there are those specialise dimsum kiosk or stall they're better than 7Eleven but still not like ours. Hong Bao restaurant however serves dimsum very similar in taste and quality to Hong Kong dimsum that is why I always enjoy my dimsum here

 

Siew mai

 

Har gao

 

Chai tao kway

 

Xiaolongbao

 

Vegetable and prawn dumpling

 

Double boiled fish may soup, simply delicious

 

Nice spread
