Bread of any type with pasta is barbaric.

Best plate of Thai/Western fusion food I've ever eaten...

But what is it?

Looks like a pre-digested donner without the pitta bread.

They don't tend to whittle floral root vegetable arrangements in my local kebab emporium. And the last time I saw a pre-digested 'donner' kebab it certainly didn't look like that.

Where do you live? Teddington?

But I agree, it doesn't look very appetising.

No, but I'm in Shoreditch twice a week. You'be surprised what some of those pop-ups can do to a kebab.

Anyway, as a Masterchef afficionado I would describe that as a deconstructed som tam served three ways.

Very nice those noodles were Usually in Bangkok it's a chicken or pork affair however today it was a beef broth.

cheese and onion pasty with HP... done three ways. With Cheese juis and singed onion gravel.

Easy. Next?

For Slap, i would go with Salmon som tam.

Closest yet, Nidd.

I would reply to other people's answers but I don't know how to quote individual words and sentences with this new format.

Please tell me how to do it.

Still, I'm yet to find a place over here that replicates the true Thai dining experience - I mean, what's a restaurant if there isn't a mangy dog licking its bollocks under the table?

probably explains Fishes pictures.

True though - I cook the best pad krappow in the UK, bar none. Most places here put fucking onions in it? Seriously?

Closest place to real Thai style I have found was in Blackpool of all places.

Miles away from us though. But it was decent. Cycle up there and have a taste.

Not in the mood for rice. Can't be bothered cooking pasta. What to have with my Aussie minced beef? Ah. Of course. I know.

Tonight's Nevstranomic Nevstravaganza is, chilli beef and bean toasted sandwiches.

Step 1. Cook beef, add red kidney beans and spicy taco mix, and mix together.



Step 2. Toast 2 slices of wholemeal bread and add the beef to it.



Step 3. Put it all together.



Step 4. Eat.

Yum.

Damn that's fine.


Icy cold beer?

Chiang Mai red ale. Ever tried it?

Thai micro/craft brews are growing in numbers and popularity!!!!
Seemed to have loosened up the reins as to controlled/limited availability and distribution.
Yeah -

Chiang Mai Red Truck red ale. Brewed and bottled in Cambodia.




Not bad.

I've tried some Thai craft beers. I didn't really like them much; drinkable but that's about it. This one is much better.

Nope, but I wanna try a songteow full.

Yep. I like it. I will buy some more. Here's the back of the bottle.

How much Nev?
That'd cost about 20 baht in Cambo
