Thai Food?

msdrdg · October 2013

There is a new Thai restaurant that just opened up in town. DH and would really like to try it but neither of us know anything about Thai food.

DH hates any and all curry, or at least he claims he does.

I've had Pad Thai and loved it, but this place only makes it with shrimp and I can't have shellfish.

Help a girl out here.

What is the difference between RED, YELLOW and GREEN curry?

Recommend something (no shellfish, no pork). Spicy is ok, but not melt your face spicy.

Our Thai place has a great salad with peanut dressing, chicken with pineapple and cashew, eggplant with a coconut basil sauce. We love curry, but I have found that green curry with coconut has a mild taste. Our Thai place has great spring rolls. Anything with crystal noodles is delish. They won't make vegetarian pad Thai ? That's surprising. Our place also has a really yummy fried rice with pineapple

Omg! I love Thai food! Green curry is my fav. The curries are all different, but kind of hard to explain. Masuman is usually milder and cooked with potato. Yellow is probably the mildest of the colored ones. It's different than Indian curry if that's your experience.

Most places can change the meat in the pad Thai or do tofu if you don't want meat. They usually have other noodle dishes. Drunken noodles are great, or pad see yew are a wider noodle.

Salad with peanut dressing, spring rolls, corn cakes... On and on, so yummy!

Eta, and basil chicken is a fav. Forgot about that one.

Peanut chicken!! It's the bomb! I also like green curry, more mild.

Some Thai places make a version of sweet and sour chicken. It's yummy. Chicken satay is amazing as an appetizer. Just go read the menu and see what appeals to you. The descriptions on the menus are usually helpful. There are usually options with lemon grass, coconut, peanuts, sweet chili, etc.

Drunken noodles are awesome but you have to order them mild or they will burn your face off.

Oh yes, chicken satay

I LOVE the shit out of Thai food! I usually get pad se ewe (wide rice noodles with greens and chicken) and fish cakes... but fish cakes are very fishy in taste and may not appeal to you if you don't like that kind of stuff. Also larb kai (ground chicken on top of greens with garlic, lime, etc) is good.

another vote for pad se ewe. I like mee krob but I can barely every find it at thai restaurants and pad rad na.

Just sent DH out to pick up our order.

We went with Thai Spring Rolls, Drunken Noodles & Basil Chicken.

I know it's a bit late, but usually you can choose what kind of meat you want in any dish. So sometimes I order pad thai with shrimp, sometimes I decide to just get it with chicken.

I also highly recommend the soups. I love Tom Yum and Tom Ka soups.

If you like spicy, also look at getting the papaya salad. And for dessert I love mango and rice.

Just for next time

I hope you liked this times

Mmmm thai food. Spring rolls, chicken satay, pad thai, massaman curry and ginger grass beef are our go tos.

We have a place here that mixes pad Thai with Panang curry and it is totally amazeballs. That's just about all I know about Thai food.

Are you sure that you don't like curry? Thai curry is completely different than Indian curry. Green curry is my favorite. It's the sweetest. Basil chicken is delicious. Any of the fried noodle dishes are yummy. Thai iced tea is so good. You should try it while you're there.

How was it @mrsdrdg?

SandyClam · October 2013

OMG. I want Thai food now. It's the one cuisine that I never make at home because you need too many ingredients to make it taste authentic.

@riversong82
It was good. The spring rolls were yummy but they gave us a sauce that wasn't one of the 2 the lady on the phone said they came with. Still good.
DH liked the basil chicken.
I really liked the drunkin noodles with chicken.

Maybe next time I will have the guts to try a curry.

@mrsrdg FTR I don't really like Indian curry and I love Thai curry. So different. We love the Massaman curry, it's sweet. Yum.
