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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Bangkok is home to several cooking schools and if cooking is one of your hobbies or loves then it will be well worth it for you to check out one or more of the cooking schools. One of the top programs is the Blue Elephant Cooking School. One great benefit of taking a class with [...]
Som Tum or Som Tam according to Thai dictionary means a kind of Thai food salad made from fruits such as payaya etc. pounded and combined with ingredients, sour taste and for some locality calls “Tum Som”. Som = orange or to have sour taste Tum/Tam = to pound Som Tum is a highly popular [...]
I got to know a Thai girl who has lived here for 5 years. She invited us to her house which is 15 minutes away from our place. She cooked 3 dishes of Thai food for our lunch on that day. They’re fresh spring rolls (for an appetizer), Som Tam and also Thai beef Salad. [...]
Thai food is known around the world as spicy beyond compare. My Thai wife Golf has been kind enough to add to Thailand Musings by sharing her wonderful authentic Thai recipes with us and as a small thanks I am doing a Thai recipe roundup for her tonight. But not just any Thai recipe roundup, [...]
Because I’ve been working like crazy and now finally I’ve just have time for myself to post the Thai recipe now. Khao Man Gai is one of the favourite dish for Thai people and when you’re there you can get this dish like 25-30 baht from many street vendors. When I was there I have [...]
