61 Thai Fried Noodles (Pad Thai)
Probably the most famous street food dish in Thailand. I was told that not many Thais make it at home, since it requires so many ingredients to make the sauce for Pad Thai, it’s simply easier to just buy it on the street, cheap, tasty and effort-free ^^ Although it might be easy accessible in…
58 Fish Amok (Cambodian steamed fish curry)
A very interesting dish, characteristic to Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries. When we think curry, we think India - we imagine thick curry sauce with loads of spices. Sure, Indian curry is delicious and probably most popular abroad but there are so many variations of that dish, it’s unbelievable! Curry doesn’t have to be…
57 Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango
I wasn’t very keen on trying this dessert at first. I spend a good week in Thailand before I’ve decided it’s time for me to give it a go. And I loved it! Shame that was my last day in Thailand so I couldn’t try it again. Now it’s time to make it at home….
56 Tom Yum Goong (Hot and Sour Thai soup with prawns)
Probably the most famous of all Thai dishes and definitely most popular and widely loved in Thailand. Sour flavour (thanks to galangal, lemongrass and lime juice) delicately sweetened by a coconut milk. I haven’t found a flavour like this in any of the Western dishes. Surprisingly zingy, but how satisfying! Authentic Thai recipe, tried in…

27 Chinese shredded beef
We all love Chinese takeaway, who doesn’t? The thing is I can never overcome the feeling of guilt after ordering tons of food from the Chinese food and eating it like a cave man. It is good but it also is…greasy, far from healthy and well, don’t know about you, but I am not always…
