Rice, stir-fried with freshly peeled crab, is an enticing dish for diners. While not overly extraordinary, the cooking secrets and the high temperature during rice flipping create a fragrant and aromatic experience. The chewy and sweet crab, dipped in a mixture of salt and green chili, adds to the delight of the guests.
Mango Sticky Rice
Mango Sticky Rice is a popular Thai snack, presenting a unique combination of soft, sticky rice accompanied by dried mung beans, coconut milk, and especially ripe, golden mango slices. When indulging, guests only need to take a piece of mango, a spoonful of rice soaked in coconut milk, and savor them together. Traveling in Thailand, relishing Mango Sticky Rice while observing the vibrant street scenes is truly an enjoyable experience!
Egg-Wrapped Fried Crab
This dish originated from a highly renowned street-side restaurant in Bangkok, the first to be honored with a Michelin star. The dish features half a kilogram of fresh crab meat expertly wrapped in a layer of golden, crispy egg coating, then deep-fried at high temperatures in oil. Priced at 1,000 baht (approximately 770,000 VND), it competes with luxurious restaurants. Despite the cost, the restaurant remains bustling with patrons.
To avoid queuing, reservations must be made months in advance. Over time, the allure of the dish at the restaurant for foreign tourists has not diminished. Additionally, the restaurant offers other dishes such as crispy fried noodles with coconut, seafood porridge with Chinese doughnuts, fresh shrimp, sautéed vegetables, and tom yum soup.
Spicy Shrimp Soup
The name of this characteristic Thai soup consists of two words, “tom” meaning to boil, and “yum” referring to a spicy and sour group of spices. If shrimp is the main ingredient, the dish is called “tom yum kung,” and if it's chicken, it's called “tom yum kai”… A tom yum must include lime leaves, ginger, galangal, and lemongrass. Tomatoes are considered an ingredient influenced by the West, while mushrooms made their appearance in tom yum in the 20th century.
Due to the Thai cuisine relying heavily on improvisation, tom yum usually lacks a standardized recipe. The various spices and herbs play a crucial role in this dish, and each place will cook with different proportions, resulting in slightly different flavors. Of course, the dominant taste of tom yum is sour and spicy.
Boat Noodles
A very special noodle dish that you must try when traveling to Thailand. Named boat noodles because in the past, Thais sold this dish on boats, and all activities took place on the boat, so the size of the noodle bowl was very small. There are many types of noodles, such as egg noodles, rice vermicelli, and glass noodles, served with dark broth because the chef cooked it with pork blood. Diners can choose from various toppings, such as pork, beef, quail eggs…
Apart from the mentioned dishes, Thailand still has many other enticing foods for you to discover. Travel to Thailand to enjoy authentic cuisine with delicious, unique, and exotic dishes. And don't forget to quickly contact us to receive exclusive Thailand tour deals, only available at Mytour!
