The Delicious Wonders of Thailand

Introduction:

Thai food commonly ranks in the top 10 of countries for best food globally. Tons of travelers come to visit just to eat the nation's famously ranked dishes. Some of the most popular Thai foods you might have tried are called Pad Thai, Pad Kra Pao and Mango Sticky Rice!

What food did I try?:
  • Pad Thai (my favorite! - stir-fried rice noodles mixed with tofu, bean sprouts, peanuts and a sweet-savory sauce)
  • Pad Kra Pao (minced beef with holy basil served over delicious white fluffy rice)
  • Mango Sticky Rice (a sweet dessert of condensed milk, sticky rice and fresh mango)
  • Khao Soi (coconut-curry noodle soup blended with crispy fried noodles and tender chicken)
  • Pad See Ew (unlike the name, it is super tasty! Wide, chewy noodles glazed with soy sauce, broccoli and sliced chicken)
How did I feel when I tried it?:

I feel so much joy when I eat my favorite Thai dishes. They might not taste like my favorite foods back home, but being different is what makes the experience of eating these new dishes even better. I'm grateful to experience new food overseas because then I get to think about what makes the people who make (and eat) it stay healthy, and I think about how I might add some of those items into my own diet. Also, Thai people have healthy portion sizes, so the food is just enough for you to eat.
