Popular Thai Foods To Eat Before You Die
If you haven’t tasted Thai cuisine yet, you are probably missing out on something big! There are more reasons than one that make Thai cuisine a worldwide favorite.
Here is a list of top 7 favorite Thai dishes of London that one must eat in this lifetime –
1. Tom Yum Gung
A soup is just a soup; while Tom Yum Gung brings the goodness of shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves with an unforgettable taste. The best thing about this soup is the way it blends different flavors – sour, salty, spicy and sweet, all in one bowl.
2. Gang Keow Wan
When we say Thai Green Curry instead of Gang Keow Wan, many of you would feel the craving within. Made with green curry paste, coconut milk, bamboo shoots, chicken, Thai basil, Thai eggplant and the ever present herbs and roots of Thai cuisine, this curry is best relished with Jasmine rice. Not just the Green curry, the red, yellow and Massaman curry are equally wonderful Thai preparations.
3. Kai Pad Med Mamuang Himmapan
To translate this name for non-Thai food-lovers, it means stir-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts. The very name explains the richness of this dish. And for a change, this preparation is not spicy but has a slightly sweet and salty chicken fried with crunchy cashew nuts taste. Truly, a treat for your soul!
4. Jim Jum – What a name it is – Jim Jum!
This is a unique Thai soup cooked in a small clay pot filled with aromatic porky broth cooked over a bed of charcoal. The vegetables and the meats used in this dish are cooked slowly over the charcoal bed and thus you get a nourishing and healthy soup.
5. Som Tam
Som Tam is a spicy salad made from a mix of fresh vegetables including shredded papaya, beans and tomato. What makes it so yummy is the spicy dressing and exotic salad vegetables that are mixed in the mortar using a pestle. This is not just the most delicious but also the healthiest Salad.
6. Tom Yam Kai
