Do Thais ever eat a dish that doesn't have a name?
I cook almost every day, and usually bring food into work. Thais are always curious "what's the menu?" or "what dish is this… Better said: Do Thais ever eat a dish that isn't identifiably a Thai dish?
I cook almost every day, and usually bring food into work. Thais are always curious "what's the menu?" or "what dish is this?" and it dawned on me that in the west, with our uncultured cuisine, we often just cook "whatever." Meat, vegetables..some potato or carbs for example.
Thais on the other hand seem to always cook or eat an identifiable dish. Even an egg for breakfast: westerners would just scramble them up, Thais would go for a "kai dao" type dish, cooking the egg a certain way, laying it over rice.
What's the Thai version of just a "whatever is in the fridge" meal? 😆
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
