Thailand has some of the best food in Asia with many signature dishes that are enjoyed all over the world. Hot and sour flavours mixed with aromatic lemongrass are superior ingredients that let your taste buds dance with excitement. Here are some of my favourite Thai dishes that I enjoyed eating whilst I travelling Thailand. Enjoy!
Pad Thai- Thai-style Fried Noodles - A great noodle dish that every person knows. A superior dish that you'll find on every projection in Thailand being cooked by the experienced road venders. Best enjoyed cooked with prawns and an egg. No trip to Thailand is complete without Pad Thai. Gaeng Massaman Gai- Thai Massaman Curry. A mild peanut based curry regularly cooked with beef or chicken. The "massaman" indicates that the method is of Islamic origin. One of the real highlights of travelling in Thailand. Penang Gai- Penang Chicken Curry. A creamy coconut curry with subtle flavours of kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil. You'll find this on most places while your Thailand trip. Pad gkaprow mu - Thai Basil Pork - A spicy favourite for travellers in Thailand that mixes ground pork with hot chillies and Thai sweet basil. Always served with sticky rice and topped of perfectly with a fried egg. Tod Man Plaa- Spicy fried fish cakes. Delicious fish patties perfectly accompanied by hot and sour dipping sauce. Great to snack on while your Thailand trip. Khao Neeo- Thai Sticky Rice. A great accompaniment to any Thai dish and exquisite if you start running out of money while you're travelling in Thailand. Khao Soi- Chiang Mai Curry Noodles. This is a noodle dish, ready in a rich creamy curry sauce, which is customary to Northern Thailand. If your Thailand tour takes you up north, this dish is a must. Tom Yum Goong- Thai Prawn Soup With lemongrass. Tom Yum is one of the main signature dishes that characterises Thai cuisine. With both hot and sour flavours it's the base of many Thai soups. Gaeng Khiao Wan Gai - Thai Green Curry with Aubergine. A great veggie choice of the superior Thai curry. Yum Nuea - Thai Beef Salad - Yum Nuea means "tossed beef" and that is the basis of the dish. It's a great choice for a light meal on the beach while you're travelling in Thailand. Delicious barbequed beef that's tossed in sweet, smokey and sesame flavours. Pad Mee - Thai Fried Vermicelli Noodle - Spicy thin noodles with all the best bits. Uncomplicated but great and by all means; of course part of a try Thailand trip. Tom Yum Soup - Hot and Sour Soup - superior Thai dish that you'll find whilst travelling all over Thailand. Strong hot and sour flavours with a hint of lemongrass. Yam Ma Maung - Green Mango Salad - A refreshing salad with green mango, garlic and Thai sweet basil. Again, exquisite on the beach. Gai Pad Med Mamuang Himaphan - Chicken And Cashew Nut - Cashew nuts being the key ingredient in the dish combined with strong Thai red chillies, lemongrass and young kale. To-hu tawt - Deep fried tofu - Light and spongy tofu puffs that are deep fried to a crispy treat that mixes well in to most vegetarian dishes. Vegetarians who tour to Thailand will by all means; of course enjoy this dish. Som Tum - Thai Green Papaya Salad - This dish you'll see many of the road venders mixing up with a pestle and mortar to get all the flavours out of the ingredients. Fresh papaya, Thai string beans, palm sugar, green chillies and dried shrimp all get mixed together to originate a fiery salad. A real feature of any Thailand trip. Kanom Chan - Steamed layered coconut sweetmeat - The main ingredients used to make a Kanom Cham include sugar, coconut milk and flour. One of the great features about the Kanom Chan is the natural colourings used to originate the sweet that is also derived from herbs. Great for sweet-toothed travellers to Thailand Khanom Kluay - Banana Pudding - Khanom Kluay is a Delicious Thai sweetmeat that is found all over Thailand and Khanom Kluay translates as Thai steamed banana cake.
