''Falang meedai aharn Thai''
I think the comment about some people considering pad thai to be 'Chinese food' got him a couple negative reviews.
In their primitive ultra nationalistic minds.
Only Thai can cook Thai food.
Thai Number 1
Thailand Number 1
Of course they think he's shit, he doesn't make enough of an entrance.
Check out Noppadorn Thongmoonchai who is Buri Ram's top Phad Thai chef gets to work - then you'll understand the dislikes :)

Would be even more "special", if he had the proper cooking utensils.
Wanker.
Yes, but what he was doing there didn't resemble anything - except in his [and your] inept concepts.Quote:

I prefer the narrow flat noodles, sen lek (?), and would add a bit of chicken to the kung for more depth of flavour. Tofu was missing too, I think, in addition to ground peanuts.
My wife (a credentialed Thai chef) watched the video, and was trying to be open-minded, even make excuses for the guy at the start, but as it went on she became more and more perturbed. More than anything, apparently he gets the cooking order all wrong. She says its not surprising that he says pad thai is Chinese (which did make her cross), because he cooks it "Chinese style," in other words, what he makes is a Chinese dish with some Thai ingredients.
I guess the Thai viewers didn't like it, probably...... because he's using the wrong ingredients, cooking it wrong and insulting their fish sauce!!
Nothing wrong with his utensils, a wooden spatula is fine, but scrambled eggs? And cabbage? Nooooooo! Leave the cabbage out and gently fold the egg in at the end of cooking, not scramble them first and dump everything else on top!!
I reckon you might have a point there :)Quote:

Just shown it to Thai girl, selected comments;
'that's not pad thai'
'completely different'

let's "dislike" the fucker, just for being both an American and a bad cook :p
It was kind of funny because when I pointed out the Savoy cabbage my wife said, "Well, he is just trying to show people they can use what they have," (I think pad thai probably started out as a kitchen sink kind of thing, like Caesar salad) and was letting it slide- she was pretty positive at first about a farang cooking Thai food. By the end of it smoke was coming out of her ears.
I can understand that, you can't fuck up the preparation of good dishes and advertise it as the way to do it
try that with French food and you will be crucified on the spot,
of course for American and English food, such things are not an issue
Quite.Quote:

This gentlemen hasn't a clue. Yet, goes on as if he does.
Some eat [no puns] this shit up.
I watched a 'professional' American chef make English muffins the other day. Hopeless springs to mind. A 6 year old from England could do a better job.
Seems to be a trend.
^ Fox News and Bullshit (same thing really :) )
That's the current yank trend :)
This shouldn't surprise, as to what passes for "English muffins" in the US is quite embarrassing. Almost 99.9% of American-English muffins are known only from the commercial pakaged product. Less, some daring Chef attempting to have a go from scratch.Quote:
