Why You Should Eat It: this is one of the healthier, cheap eating options in Thailand that you can find among street food vendors. Many of the sweet dishes contain coconut milk, sugar, oyster sauce, pineapple, sweet-and-sour sauce and are heavy on calories because of the sugar.Opt for the salty over sweet dishes. Avoid Massaman curry, which is the most caloric of the curries. Choose jungle curries over regular curries (red, green, yellow).Nong became famous after she beat celebrity Chef Bobby Flay with her pad thai, in the food networks cooking competition. If you ever want to learn how to cook Thai food, I highly recommend you pick up the book Nong's Thai Kitchen: 84 Recipes that are Quick, Healthy and Delicious This book is full of all of the traditional Thai dishes and teaches you how to make the sauces all from scratch. If you get a glass of wine around the 90-12o baht mark, it's most likely coming from a box.Cocktails are often relatively pricey and made with cheap alcohol and, sadly, good wine is expensive. I'll be sharing a thorough post on eating with dietary restrictions in Thailand later this week, so leave me any questions in the comments below and check back soon! I've received lots of questions about eating vegetarian or vegan in Thailand tourism , how to stay gluten-free and how to avoid eating peanuts.If you don't add these onto your order it's okay, you'll simply end up with whatever the standard version of the dish is. For example, asking for a fried egg on top of rice and a stir fried dish, such as phad grapao, is a common order addition and some noodle stalls have a couple different types of soup to choose from, such as a naam san (a basic clear broth), tom yum or yen ta foh (a broth with a pink sauce made from fermented bean curd). Those are all great options, and I still eat my fair share of them, but if you visit Thailand and only stick to these safe" staples that most people seem to be familiar with, you are missing out.I'll let you in on a little secret…there are a lot more Thai dishes than phad thai, fried rice and green curry. Eat the whole thing with rice and the meal tops out around 900 calories. Allow us to translate Pla Lard Prik for you: The crispy whole snapper's crispy" part comes from its bath in a wok of hot, bubbling oil.Ask for it sauteed, or stick to vegetables. When it's fried, that often translates into a heavy dose of oil and little else. This meat-free protein acts like a soybean sponge, sucking up anything it comes into contact with.Okay, now you are making me hungry! And green Papaya salad (but we ways mix in carrots and tomatoes when we make ours). Phó too even though that's vietnamese.We make laarb all the time and tom ton is one of our favs!
