This is chardonnay set Thai food. Basically a joke. The real thing can be found of course on the streets of Bangkok for about 1 dollar! The taste is about 5 times as good! Here in Aus can cost you $30 for something which is westernized till it ain't Thai anymore, but don't pe ...
seems healthy and delicious ! Will need to find some time to try it :)
I'm Thai people, and I can say that this menu isn't real Thai food but it is adapt from Thai food. May be it will suite with Aussie people, but not for Thai people 100% for sure. The writer make me funny from using basmati rice !!! (for Indian bot Thai at all), but the rest ingre ...
Geez relax jim and cossie!! I'm sure the makers of the recipe weren't trying to insult thai cuisine or recreate a David Thompson classic, more so make a dish with the essence of Thai there but more healthy. Thai cuisine can be high in fat and sugar thus using basmati instead of jasmi ...
