Street Food: Those Spicy foods with Millions of Chili in it!!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bangkok Street Food
  • Smokes from the street foods!
  • by yen_2

  • Favorite Dish: "Have you eaten yet?" is a common enough phrase in Thailand meaning little more than "Hello" or "How do you do?" yet this preoccupation with food is evident everywhere in the city. Food stalls serving cheap, tasty food line every street and the pungent smoke from numerous charcoal grills fills the air. The huge number of spices a Thai chef uses would baffle your average western chef, but here are integral parts of even the simplest dish. Chili, garlic, coriander, fish sauce, lemon grass, ginger and many more, all serve to give Thai food its unique taste.

    Thais take eating as seriously as cooking, and consequently, mealtime is almost always a social occasion, ideally including a dish of every kind of food. For example, on the table might be Kai jio moo sab (pork stuffed omelet) which has a savory taste. To counter this, a slightly sweet dish like Gai pat ma muang (chicken and cashew nuts in a sweet sauce) could also be ordered. Soup is very popular in Thailand, so why not one of my favorites? Car Tom Gai (coconut soup with chicken). Finally every meal should include fish and Pla duk foo (spicy mango salad with cat fish) is a delicious choice. Depending, obviously, on where you eat, the above meal with rice and drinks should cost you anything between 200 and 2000 Baht.

    Good cheap eating is everywhere in Bangkok and below is a short list of common Thai foods and their English Translations. For a more comprehensive list of good eateries, including international restaurants, check Metro magazine, available at most bookshops.

    Types of Food

    Cow pat gai/moo: fried rice with Chicken/pork
    Pat kupow gai/moo: Spicy chicken with Basil and rice
    Tom yam gung: Prawn and lemon grass soup
    Pad pak ruammit: Mixed fried vegetables
    Bar mee moo dang: Egg noodles with red pork
    Koy teo: Rice noodles
    Som tam: Papaya salad
    Yam pla muk: Spicy salad with squid
    Lad cow: On rice

    The place is located in the ground floor of Siam Center. We met here with Vigi and Jim(Jim_Eliason) a VT members just visited Bangkok. I like the place because they have a free internet, you just have to order a drink or any then you can surf the world! This place is always full specially at lunch time. Students also love to standby here.

  • Restaurant Name: Sabaii Restaurant

    This place is along Rangnam Road and across the WaterBar. The first time, I thought its expensive but wow, they have reasonable prices and even very friendly staff but some of them can't understand a simple English but still it's okay as other staff will help you out. Clean and there are few people around as what I like best and they have great Thai foods. The best one is the Steamed Seabass and Spicy chicken in coconut soup!
