RTG

I met her when I opened my Thai bank account (she works for the bank) and we've been a couple since - living together for the past 7 years or so.

 

Steamed scallops with ginger & spring onions, salt & pepper squid, deep fried king prawns in crispy batter with chilli oil (to name just a few dishes) the Chinese are masters of cooking (not over cooking) seafood and I'm salivating just at the thought!

I can take or leave fish though - I was spoilt as a child when my father used to go night fishing and we would often have shallow fried river trout for breakfast that had only been caught a few hours earlier - nothing, imho, compares to my memories of that.

 

Gonna go shopping on the weekend.

Fresh Thai for dinner this weekend, Cheers mate

 

I hope you enjoy maak maak (to use the Thai words for 'very much').

My other half cooks all of the Thai food in our house - she never buys pastes and I couldn't stand (as she does) for 1 to 1½ hours pounding away to prepare them, so I cook the rest (apart from her fried breakfasts & poached eggs which are amazing - much better than mine)!

 

I was in Pattaya in December, and was meant to be going back in 2 weeks time, but sadly won't be able to now due to the virus.

When it reopens, I'll return. For a country that heavily depends on tourism, this must be hitting Thailand really badly. But I suppose you won't notice in Isaan.

 

There are normally a few tourists around but nothing like the numbers you'll find in the 'sexspots', such as Pattaya & Phuket.

Instead they tend to be those that are more interested in seeing the 'real' Thailand

 

dirty pervert

 

Salt and pepper ribs and chips are my absolute fav from the Chinese when order.

Tastes amazing minus the squid whack in some beef or chicken and sounds lush

 

How the feck are chips considered Chinese?

 

Because they are coated in the salt and pepper spice majority of Chinese takeaways sell them.

I usually get them on the side with my ribs and curry/rice.

 

Sorry marra, have to disagree with you there,

Chips go with fish, burgers and steak. Not friggin Chinese (unless of course they're long ****ers and you use them as chopsticks)

 

How would you know?

 

Give them a go mate proper lush.

 

Mackerel straight from the sea on to the bbq takes some beating

 

Fair play to mods over there the usual resident mag idiots seemed to have vanished including that sad creep Sima.

Funnily enough though there has been an influx in new members who post all day... wonder who they would be?

Sad knackers cant stay away from Sunderland forums obsessed.

 

Is this a cookery thread now like?

 

He married a Thai lass so will know his recipes for the scran over there... handy to have if like the food.

I'm a big eater

 

only joshin mate, luv a Thai food, as a chef I cook a fair bit of it at home, just baffles me as to why it’s so expensive in restaurants/takeaways compared to others

 

224 hrs vengeance is mine

 

Maybe as loads of prawns if get the seafood dishes?

I dunno maybe people think its more fancy when it's just a curry at end of day.
