I'm going out for Thai food. I almost always get vegie spring rolls, vegie soup or Tom Kha Kai (without chicken) and pan ang curry. SOmetimes I get the salad with peanut dressing. And for desert sticky rice with mangos and coconut ice cream.
What will you have?

Pad thai (I've also seen it spelled pud thai) is my favorite, with chicken. I really like the taste of Thai food, though I have to admit that I haven't tried much of it. I just have found one thing that I really like and almost always get. I have tried a few other things, but I have a difficult time remembering what they were called from one meal to another. :)

I am the same way. I used to get Pad thai all the time but now I get panang curry every time. It's just so good. I love peanut sauce.

I'm no expert when it comes to Thai food, but what I have tasted so far are excellent. If I have a choice of my typical order in a Thai restaurant, this is what it will be.
I'll probably start off with some lemongrass vegetable soup. This may sound mundane, but I enjoy a well-prepared beef pad thai. I also love curries, doesn't matter which kind. Also a favorite is their beef salad, with that tangy dressing. This will be enjoyed with a big glass of Thai iced tea. Dessert will be a throw-up between rice pudding or mangoes with sticky rice.
Now that sounds like a pleasant meal at our local Thai restaurant. Happy eating.

Yummy! Thai food is simply great. Spicy and absolutely delicious.
My favourite dishes are green curry chicken. Very mild green coloured curry. I't really nice.
Pandan chicken is fried and leaves a very sweet fragrant of the pandan leaf. It's nice too.
I also like Tom Yam soup. Especially the seafood version. I like the hot and sour taste of the soup.
I also enjoy Red rubies too. This is chopped up water chestnut pieces, that is coated in starch and coloured red. It's served with shaved ice and lots of coconut milk. It's superb.
