Woop and Wob here and today, we’re going to review some of the delicious food that we had in Bangkok in early June. After about 10 days in Japan and a luxurious ANA business class flight from Tokyo to Bangkok, we flew to Thailand to relax and enjoy the delicious Thai cuisine for a week.
Entrees
One of our favorite entrees is called Pad See Ew. It’s a stir-fried noodle dish that is absolutely divine. It consists of thick noodles, egg, Chinese broccoli, and pork. All of this is stir-fried with soy sauce (see ew in Thai).
Chicken and rice is another really good Thai dish. It’s not just simply chicken and rice. The rice is infused with chicken broth and there is a special ginger, chili sauce that accompanies the chicken and rice. It’s scrumptious.
Khao soi is a northern Thai noodle dish. It consists of soft noodles and crunchy noodles in yellow curry. It also has pickles, onions, and chicken. This is a very delicious dish that will leave you full and satisfied.
A very unique dish that is rarely done right overseas is satay pork. In most places overseas, it’s satay chicken and usually the chicken is quite dry or the satay is too much like peanut butter. In Thailand, this dish is cooked with fresh, moist pork with a creamy peanut based sauce. There is a small sweet cucumber salad on the side as a palette cleanser.
Desserts
One of our favorite desserts is Thai sticky rice with coconut milk and custard. It is very sweet and the coconut milk makes it a bit more savory. This is a common snack that can be found around Thailand in street markets along with shopping malls. It’s only about 20 baht, or 60 cents! A variation of this dish, which is more common overseas is sticky rice with mango.
Next up is roti. This is similar to the Indian roti, but in Thailand, it’s eaten as a dessert with sweet condensed milk.
A Thai twist to the Dairy Queen blizzard. This blizzard is a mango blizzard with two sides of Thai coconut sticky rice. The sticky rice was actually still warm and wasn’t mixed in to not melt the ice cream. There was also an awesome promotion when we purchased this. It was a “take home” size of blizzard that was buy one, get one free. We basically got 2 of these giant sized blizzards for 99 baht, or only about $3! (much cheaper than in NY!)
Starbucks
One of the things that we instantly noticed about Starbucks in Thailand is that they serve their items on actual plates and trays. On our first visit to Starbucks, we ordered a Pomegranate tea with pomegranate pearls and a pandan roll cake. Pandan leaves are very fragrant leaves that are used in many desserts in Thailand.
On our next visit to a Thai Starbucks, we ordered a raspberry frappuccino with pomegranate pearls along with custard waffle. The custard cream waffle was warmed up and was a nice sweet treat with our drink.
On our next visit, we were joined with the Pokemon cafe Pikachu and Eevee. We ordered a Danish cream block and a mango Frappuccino with pomegranate pearls. The cream block was amazing especially as the cream oozed out after cutting it.
On another visit to a Thai Starbucks, we ordered a raspberry frappuccino along with a green tea mousse brownie cake. Both were delicious as usual. Wooper loves her frappuccinos!
This basically wraps up our food tour in Bangkok. We hope this post gives you some ideas of some food to try out on your trip to Thailand. Stay tuned for our next posts, where we will review our trip back to NYC.
