Favorite dish? Favorite restaurant?


I got hooked on this stuff, while visiting my Brother and his Wife, (When they lived in Richmond, VA.)


Spicy Chiken Basil, at Elephant Thai in Richmond.


Even though I am in Podunk Mtn. City, TN., there is a native Thai, (Pre-Un) [SP ?] That has a small restaurant about 15 Miles away. "Monsoons." I used to work near there, and would hit it a couple times a week for take out on the way home. I was a regular, liked it very spicy "Thai Hot," and She would hook me up with additional veggies/peppers, (grown behind the restaurant.)

Dayumn..............That Was good stuff. I'm going to have to start driving the 15 Mike's there, and the 15 miles back for take out. Yes it is That good. [:D]


My mouth is watering, typing this.


What's your favorite dish? Where? Please share.


(Ship me some.) I'll trade a shipment of Mike's BBQ. [:D]

    Best dishes?

    I have Monsoon's somewhat near me. Owned and operated by a chick from Thailand. (Prei Uhn.) Absolutely Killer Chow.

    She knows to make it extra special spicy hot when I call.

    Chicken/basil Thai. She adds extra veggies,

    Love that Sheeit.

    Lou


    I don't think you can get it in the states.

    When you go to your local place ask if they will make it for you. Lou(Pronounced like You) is Raw Pigs blood soup, served cold with raw pig kidney sliced very thin.

    Sok Lek is very good also, but again I am not sure they will make it in the states because it has raw beef in it.

    Thai's also make a killer ceviche with shrimp cooked in and with lime juice.

    Also see if they have any Thai moonshine. Thai's are heroic moonshiners. You go to Thailand and head up north of the country and everyone is a moonshiner.

    Lad-Na Chicken with extra Bracoli 2X Thai Hot. I can eat 4X Thai Hot but don't like food that burns twice. Bankok Tokyo Greenville, SC



    Sounds very good. Thanks for posting. I eat really hot food on a regular basis that hurts me much worse after eating it, than when I am eating it.

    It's totally worth it. I'm addicted to hot/spicy foods.

    Johnny Cash - "Ring of Fire," comes to mind. [:0][B)][xx(][V]





    Uhh,.........you mean. Bangkok, Thai, don't you?

    Upon seeing a show about Thai cooking in Thailand, and a dish made from Cobra, I asked my favorite Thai 'dive' if they had or could cook that.

    The owner/head cook said 'I no play with snakes'.

    I had to settle for my usual Chicken Curry (#5) w/ fried rice, no mushrooms, medium.

    They also serve a mean Potato curry (ask for the potatoes crispy), but has to be eaten on the spot as it doesn't travel well.

    Their Pad Thai chicken makes a great breakfast, cold.

    Bangkok Express
    Fashionable Ferndale, MI

    Siam Spicy offers Pad Tau (cashew-nut) curry.

    Royal Oak, MI

    Thai Inn offers Royal Favorite Chicken. That was a work crew favorite.

    Royal Favorite Chicken sauteed chicken with asparagus, cashew, onion, broccoli, bamboo shoot, and green pepper

    Rochester MI

    The best Masamun * I've had was at a little place in St Ignace MI
    Sadly, it's gone.

    Chee Peng

    Speaking of "Work Crew favorites," there was a place up North, (N. NJ.) [W.Milford NJ.] I forget the name. (Carpentry/Construction crew.) We discovered a place we hit often. Killer food.

    Love green curry beef with spring rolls, and california roll sushi. As far as spicy goes pick up a bottle of liquid stupid hot sauce. Its not too hot but perks up your tastebuds.

    I guess I'm spoiled, my wife is from Thailand and Thai food is almost all we eat. My favorite is normally spelled Larb in a menu but is correctly said as a cross between larb and lopp, it is a very spicy chopped chicken. My second favorite is a beef or pork salad that I call flaming turd cutter salad. Don't try to speak the language in Thailand unless you are really good at it. Many American Thai restaurants are not ran or owned by Thai people but rather Lao or Vietnamese.

    Larb is awesome! I like the Norther Thai style which is more spicy than sour. Larb is really Lao dish but the Thai's do a good job with it.


    Thailand is an unusual place for one thing it was never a colony of a European Country, not many places can make that claim.
