Thai food

I was introduced tonight, and my god, this stuff is good. Drunken Noodles, and then Mango and sticky rice for dessert.

I luv mangos with sticky rice!

for some reason it seemed like a really sexy dessert.

Had it the first time a year ago. Great stuff, some sort of stir fried pork, peppers, and such in a spicy peanut sauce. Wonderful.

Two of my best friends are Vietnamese. We get together at least monthly for tailgate parties and the Thai and Vietnamese food they bring is just Top Notch stuff! Try the Red or Yellow Curry anything (veg, beef, pork, chicken), fish is especially good if you don't mind the head. They brought me Thai Crawdad one time for my birthday that was fabulous. Tender tails and head sucking that was beyond scrumptious!

is awesome! :9

So is spicy beef salad. I love that.

Thai is one place I can satisfy my inner pepperhead. I get the stuff mega-hot! :evilgrin:

I can't enter a Thai restaraunt without ordering the red curry. If they don't have that shit in Heaven, I'll go downstairs. At least I know Satan will make it hot :evilgrin:

Thai food. Yum.

green is milder. I make green curry for my son - he loves it. I just had the most awesome yellow curry at a new Thai place last weekend. I'm going to have to try to re-create it. Yellow curries are cancer-fighting, so I hear.

My husband loves Pad thai.. and don't forget the corn patties. mmmmm..

yummi

You can get it with chicken or shrimp..made with cocnut milk, lemongrass, mushrooms, hot peppers and ginger or caro

It's Good Stuff!

my favorite Thai meal is salad rolls, Tom Kha Gai, and Panang Curry, with Thai iced tea or coffee and, if I have room, sticky rice with mangos or coconut ice cream for dessert.

spices and thai peppers in my back uard so I have all the ingredients handy at all times..I make a great one....

to go with the leftovers. I find I always like drinking ethnic beer with the same ethnic food. I have to say the beer is very good too, I think I may have to move to Thailand.

Those people know how to cook!

Some of my fondest memories are going to one of the smaller, but incredbile, Thai restaurants in Honolulu with a group of friends, and saying to the waitress, "We'd like the chef to cook whatever he wants, whether on the menu or preferably not, that will be adequate appetizers and entrees for ten people, with at least two vegetarian selections, and two really, truly Thai-style hot selections" (or whatever we were in the mood for, but we always had a vegetarian with us, so that was part of the deal).

Oh, man, we had some INCREDIBLE meals there! And I mean, yeah, baby, yeah, incredbile.

and, of course, nothing would subsitute for the true sticky rice, in the bamboo steamer, so sticky one almost had to pull it apart with one's fingers. Goddamn, that was good food. Sorry, getting really excited remembering it.

and, next, you have to find a Fukienese Chinese restaurant.

Much of it is similar to Thai, and you will never look at a bowl of noodles the same way.

This is the absolute most awesome Thai restaurant ever. There are scads of Thai places all around town, but this is by far the best. I have eaten at Thai places all across the states, and none of them compare!

I swear I can eat my body weight there. :9

Definately try the red chicken curry. Or anything with cashews.

You've tried Indian, right?

are my favorites. The Thai chicken curry, especially - made with red curry, serrano peppers, basil, lots of coconut milk and bamboo shoots, served with a dash of fish sauce over jasmine rice...mmmmmm...

I love that stuff. All of it! I've tried to make it at home with mixed results. I'm a pretty decent cook, but I just can't make it as good as they do at a Thai restaurant.

It's different in some places, but the way I love it is when it's a peanut red curry with basil. Mmmmmmmmmmm

i just picked up a bamboo steamer set. Veggies came out awesome. Chicken wasn't anything spectacular but it cooked :). Need to find some recipes.
