Can you suggest some thai dishes for a "beginner" to taste?!
Can you suggest some dishes for me to try that aren't too spicy and would appeal to someone just starting to eat Thai food?? I am not a fussy eater and love most foods.. I just don't like ginger, and I can't handle anything too spicy.
=)
Thanks!!
Answers: I want to get an idea of what Thai cuisine is like! I recently tasted Pad Thai and it was great, but im sure there's much more out there to experience!!

Try Chicken Pad See Yew
Its great!! I too was VERY iffy when it came to trying thai food until my friend bought me a dish of chicken pad see yew. Its a good noodle dish, kinda similar to pad thai. Its not spicy at all, I hate spicy and gingery foods too. I highly recomend it! Oh and if the thai place you go to has spring rolls you can't go wrong there!
try the mango salad.. yummy..
Actually you can try everything just ask to make it mild. Most Thai restaurants outside Thailand have "star" ratings on food but also over here there is no problem to eat non spicy.
try this one
