What thai food should I try?
I want to try Thai food for the first time, and I'm not really sure what to order first. I love spicy foods and other asian foods. I've had curry chicken before. I really liked it. But, I want to try something a bit more daring. Any suggestions? And how can you tell a good Thai restaurant from a sketchy one? Thanks!
Answers:
You have to try Roti Canai (which is originally Indian, but thai people make it too). Its a fluffy bread pancake that you dip into a chicken stew with potatoes.
Try Thai chicken.. its similar to Tandoori chicken, in that its red in color.. but it's not as spicy as tandoori.. its more savory and tastes delicious.
Try Pad Thai.. they're egg noodles and usually come with a peanuts dressing/sauce.. it's best with chicken or shrimp because the noodles are light.. and not as dense as say spaghetti.
Try chicken or beef satay... which is basically chicken and/or beef pieces on skewers.. it also comes with a peanut butter/ peanut dressing dipping sauce..
And definitely get the thai iced tea.. they use condensed milk which makes it sweet.. but not that too-much-sugar-you-hurt-your- teeth-sweet.. more like.. youll see...
eat well..

Pad Tai is my favorite!
Try Pad Thai with chicken, and beef satay w. peanut sauce.
pad thai is amazing! Also, chicken satay
Try Pad Thai. It flatter rice noodle, pick your choice of seafood, chicken or beef. It's not too daring, mild or hot is your choice.
when I go out to a Thai restaurant, I always order curried chicken puffs and pad thai.
You've got to try the soup! Tom Ka is made with coconut milk and it's delicious - usually you can get shrimp, chicken or squid in it. Also try Tom Yum, made from lemon grass!
Fresh spring rolls are pretty amazing too.
pho is amazing
its thai soup
if you like seafood try kaw pow, its a soup, or the lemongrass soup is good too.
try prick pao
pad thai
pad-see-you (don't know how to spell it, but that's how you say it)
curries
shrimp...you really can't go wrong
have a great meal!
Thai green curry is delicious and spicy hot.
Also beef satay which is a peanut and coconut milk sauce with peppers.
try them spicy fried catfish! hellaaa good!!!!
pad ped with shrimp! The best if you like veggies---it usually has eggplant, onions, mushrooms, peppers, in a coconut curry. Sounds weird but it is amazing.
or if you like a noodle dish try pud se ew (I'm SURE I spelled that wrong) This dish is a little sweeter but very good.
You should order "Pad Thai", and then do the same at a bunch of other Thai restaurants. It's basically flat rice noodles with lemongrass, lime, spices, peanuts and sauce (and sometimes shrimp or chicken), and each Thai cook will make it slightly differently. It's a grand way to learn the range of Thai cooking.
Pad Thai, Chicken Curry, and Pineapple fried rice
