Do you know your Thai Food?

Looks like Khanom Jeen but without any bean shoots

**sabang** · 09-01-2011, 01:20 AM

khao pun, aka 'isaan spaghetti'?

**Humbert** · 09-01-2011, 07:17 AM

Looks like Khanom Jeen to me too. Before adding the condiments.

Tis indeed Kanom Jeen..something that my stomach doesn't allow me to kin..

Next..the wife's idea of breakfast..no thank you dear, I'll stick to beans on toast I think..

Served with an assortment of pluckings..

The gaeng part is right..this dish leans heavily towards the Issan region..almost as Issanic as deep fried dogs bollocks.

Geang Pak Khai Mot Deang ?

**dantilley** · 10-01-2011, 08:17 PM

Gaeng Paa? (Jungle curry)

Laab Nam Tok

It's not laab, it's nam tok moo. Laab is minced pork, nam tok is sliced.

As for 'ngam tok', ie waterfall, as I understand it the meat is grilled medium rare prior to mixing with the salad, and ngam tok just refers to the juices coming off when you slice it.

You're confusing 'ngaw ngoo' with 'naw noo' - 'ง' with 'น'

Water is 'nam' starting with 'naw noo' = 'N' not 'Ng'.

'Nua' just means 'meat' - I haven't the faintest idea what 'ngua' means - does anyone here? In fact, to be accurate, you should say nua wua for beef, nua moo for pork, Nua pla for fish flesh, nua gai for chicken etc.

So the above quote should say 'nam tok' and 'Penang nua'.

Shag me sideways, you lot really don't know your 'N' from your 'Ng', do you?

I'd love to hear you lot speak Thai - I bet the locals piss themselves every day.

**Bogon** · 10-01-2011, 10:12 PM

^ Unleash the Marmite? (wish miggins was still here to give a mouthfull).

**ShilohJim** · 10-01-2011, 11:02 PM

Well, after reading this entire post and finding the amusing aspect hilarious, I must add for the whole effort...... Som Ting Wong for most Thai food!

Indeed- bewdiful with sliced pickled ginger. It is a Chinese, not Thai dish.
And actually, in ye olde days, it was marinated in horse piss.

In Cantonese, they are called '100 year old eggs'.

And here, where they are not so artful with words, they just call them, as was already said 'eggs piss horse' - kai yiow ma.

Phonetically it's all academic, old bean..not worth the screen it's typed on..but I understand it..because I'm ridiculously intelligent..

**somtamslap** · 11-01-2011, 12:35 PM

No takers?

Useless wankers..

Redemption can be sort upon the identification of this well known slop..

**Humbert** · 11-01-2011, 01:01 PM

???You must be way up river with Captain Kurtz.

**somtamslap** · 11-01-2011, 02:03 PM

^ Seriously..it's easy peasy lemon squeezy that one..

There's a concession widely found at a reputable supermarket chain that flogs it on...oi tink..

**Pol the Pot** · 11-01-2011, 02:11 PM

It's not gaeng jeut is it?

Doesn't look clear enough and my wife uses different vegetables.

Maybe the pickled lime soup? Don't know the Thai name...

Not Gaeng Jeut, no..although there are similarities.

The clue is in the red shit..

Still no progress on the Issanic muck?

Big clue coming your way..

Suki???

**Pol the Pot** · 11-01-2011, 03:17 PM

Wow! I didn't know you could get suki in individual bowls.

No idea about the Issarn 'muck' at all...

**Humbert** · 11-01-2011, 03:19 PM

Geez. I should have figured that out straight off. My wife and son trundle me off to MK at least every other week. Just what I love, hot steamy soup blowing in my face that I have to cook myself and pay nearly 1000 baht for.

**somtamslap** · 11-01-2011, 03:40 PM

Next on the agenda..take that fatty string out and this is a very nice dish..

What is it?
