Though Thai food is most well known for its spicy side, such as Som Tam, its streetfood, and perennial favorites such as Pad Thai, these are no longer my favorites. In true American style I have come to love the all you can eat buffet style Moo Kata (literally ‘pork pan’) places. In addition to [...]
Those of you that live in Bangkok or have visited know that getting something to eat here can be a wildly different experience from going out to eat in the U.S. Certainly there are scores of very nice restaurants serving almost any type of cuisine you want. There are also the nice air conditioned sit [...]
THAI TIDBITS No.2. Personal observations on matters of great, little, or no importance. The Trouble with trying to cook farang food. I rank this as being of great importance. If you happen to have a good Thai partner who can be trusted in the kitchen, there’s no need to worry about this. I showed my [...]
Sometimes I get bored in Bangkok (imagine that!), and sometimes I even get hungry (and if I were a Thai girl, it would be ALWAYS). Fortunately, I found one solution to these problems—learning how to cook Thai foods. I followed the old saying that we have in the West: “When in Rome, do like the [...]
One of my top favorite things about Thailand is the food. I love to eat and to learn about all the different types of food Thailand has to offer. Being currently removed from the Land of Smiles (and great food) I have to get my Thai food fix in a different way, which is through [...]
With Christmas right around the corner it’s a time that many reflect on the past and memories of childhood often come flooding in (let’s face it Christmas is a children’s holiday). If you are staying in Thailand over the holidays you may be feeling a small bit of homesickness and I would say that for [...]
Since Golf has started her own Thai food blog I don’t get the benefit of her writing here anymore (fortunately I still get the benefit of eating her cooking), so I haven’t had any new Thai recipes to share in quite a while. So I thought maybe I would bring back and oldie and a [...]
Last Friday at my work they had Appreciation day for all staff, that’s because they wanted everyone get to know each other more. By the way, they let everyone bring your own favorite dish for share with others and also the kitchen at work will make hamburger and hot dog for us. I asked Steve [...]
Pad Thai is probably the most well known of all Thai foods. It is a mixture of noodles, meats and seasonings and is unlike any other noodle dish I have had. You can find it on almost any street in Bangkok and it’s very cheap to boot, usually costing about 20-25 baht per serving. It’s [...]
I want to take a moment today to introduce Golf’s new Thai food blog – Awesome Thai Food. You may have seen some of her recipes posted here on Thailand Musings before and some of them have been very well received. Now that she is off work for the summer we both thought it was [...]
The weekend after Thanksgiving I had a chance to visit my girlfriend in New York. She was married to a Pakistani guy who lives in the state for over decades. She taught me a couple easy recipes while I was there and now I think it’s time for me to share this gift with you [...]
Bangkok Street Food Offers Up Loads of Good Taste If you love to eat and you’re headed for Bangkok then you’re in for a treat. Seriously, I’ve eaten all over the world and the street food in Bangkok is my choice for the best anywhere (Mexico is a close second). No matter where you go [...]
Yesterday was my favorite day after I have to worked 6 days in a row and that includes working on the weekend too. I really dislike working on the weekend, especially when you have to deal with stupid lazy people. So I decided to treat myself and Steve on my day off with a special [...]
It has been (too) long since I updated my last post in Thailandmusings.com, and I think everyone probably wonders why Golf hasn’t posted her recipe anymore. “Where is Golf?”. I’ve been worked overtime for my regular job and also Thailand trip was coming so I didn’t really have any concentrate to anything at all at [...]
Part of the population in Thailand is Muslim people…especially in Southern Thailand. In around where my high school is we have a lot of Muslim people who live there and when I was young one of my best friends was Muslim too. So that’s why make me used to Muslim food so much. Thai food [...]
