What's your typical order at Thai restaurants?

[mariahlullaby]

Well, we have our Chinese thread, and according to our lunch thread, there's a ton of Thai food fans. I am one of them; I am addicted. I honestly go to my local Thai restaurant -- called "Thai Spice" -- at least once a week. They ask about me when I'm not there. And I no longer have to order, they know what I want -- they just have to ask which of my favorite dishes I want.

What do you usually get?

I get chicken Thai fried rice (which at this place is HEAVENLY) or pad see ew with Thai iced tea. On weekdays, you get free chicken coconut soup which is amazing.

Pahd see ew, chicken, no veg, extra spicy (4 stars out of 4). That's all I need, aside from something to wash it down with (water or Coke).

Chicken or Beef Pahd Thai. (sp?) w/ 1 or 2 stars.

yummmm.....

Pad thai tofu no egg.
But I like to mix it up and try different things as well.

 

[gallagb]

tom duk soup (i think that's what it is spelt)-
it is the white spicy soup w/ veges or chicken

and pad thai

depends on time, hunger, adventurous spirit...etc

Same here! I know I'm going out for Thai for lunch tomorrow, so I guess I'll do Chinese.

 

[bousozoku]

Thai Iced Coffee and Prik King, medium Asian spicy.

 

[Apple Hobo]

Mini spring rolls for appetizer and volcano chicken for the main course.

Although I do love my local's pad thai, lard na and fried rice.

Beef thai fried rice. Yummy.

Damn, now I want some, and I'll have to wait until at least Monday to get it from my favorite spot near work.

 

[tweakers_suck]

I start with Tom Yum (medium spicey) soup with shrimp. Then I usually have beef sate (with peanut sauce) and shrimp fried rice.

I don't usually drink the Thai Iced Tea, but it is good.

 

[iGary]

Chicken with basil leaves, sweet tea and...err forgot the name.

Pretty much every Thai dish is good. I go with whatever sounds good at the time, and I'm always willing to try something new, and so I'd never have a "regular" order anyway. Never.

I rarely order the same dish at a restaurant twice unless I've tried everything on the menu that sounds appetizing to me. After that, I just order whatever I want, but not the same thing I had last time.

Last time, I had Penang chicken curry, Tom Yum soup with prawns, some sort of dish with mussels and basil (incredible!), and several other dishes I forget.

I like Penaeng if it can be made with tofu and also Gaeng Keow Wan Gai if it can be made without meat. Spring rolls are good too, although I think my fav are Vietnamese ones.....

 

[Melkor]

Green or red curry. Coconut milk is teh sexoRz.

 

[thedude110]

Massaman Curry.

It's so freaking good. With a Thai Iced Tea and some spring rolls ...

 

[nbs2]

Pad Thai. That's it. If I'm splurging, I might get it with shrimp.

Although, last time I went, we got this green bean (or was it asparagus) thing that was dipped in batter then deep fried, then sauteed in this delicious spicy sauce. I haven't ever seen it before. I'll be getting that with my next time trip (it is an appetizer thing).

As always, wash it down with water. (yes, I'm boring)

 

[true777]

Green seafood curry with jasmine rice.
Tom Yum Soup with shrimp as a starter if I'm really hungry.

Thai iced tea.

 

[andym172]

My girlfriend is Thai, and used to own her own restaurant, so I'm set when it comes to Thai food

My favourite: vegetarian massaman, with potato's and tofu, and a healthy helping of cashew nuts

 

[netdog]

Chicken with basil and chili. A bit of sticky rice. Perfect.

 

[mkrishnan]

I actually can't remember that I've ever tried massaman curry. I might have though. I should again. Sounds yum.

 

[adroit]

Chicken with basil leaves, sweet tea and...err forgot the name.

Gai Phad Ka Prao

I rarely go to Thai restaurant. But I'm Thai, so it's easy enough just to cook my own.

My favourite dish is Satay.

 

[2nyRiggz]

Anything without meat...


Bless
