Thai Diet

No, it's not what you think.

While having dinner the other night at a food court, hubby said we should go on a Thai Diet. Huh? Is that a new diet craze? I didn't know that a Thai diet exists.

He smiled and explained that since we're flying to Bangkok on Christmas, we should restrain ourselves from eating Thai food until then.

Ahhhh....

Ever since I have tasted an authentic Thai Food in Maldives (Sala Thai), I have become a huge fan. Even if it was expensive, we always go to that restaurant every weekend (sometimes twice a week) for our dose of Thai cuisine. The owners (German husband and Thai wife tandem) have become EJ's fan too.

When we moved here in KL, I was so happy to find out that Thai food can be had for a fraction of the price in Maldives.

We eat out maybe 5 or 6 times a week. And half of that time, we are in a Thai restaurant. It's funny how I have become addicted to a spicy and hot food. I used to dislike anything too spicy and hot. But now, I crave for exactly that.

My usual order in a thai restaurants are: phad thai (but of course), green curry, deep fried fish in sweet and sour sauce, thai fragrant rice and for dessert, mango with sticky rice is a must.

It's exactly seven days before we fly to Bangkok. I am uber excited. I can't wait to fall in love with the place. And of course, eat Thai food.

Maybe we should eat one more time at a thai resto before going to Bangkok so I can compare the taste?

I haven't tried Thai food yet, but the way you describe it, I think I would crave for a serving soon ;)

I am sure you will but wait until you give birth first. Too spicy food will give heartburn for now...:)

some thai food can taste different when you're outside Thailand. we went to this Thai restaurant in sunway pyramid called Thai Dusit...they're supposed to be authentic... but turned out the food there was nothing compared to the ones you get in Thailand. and it was super expensive. you get that kind of food with less than half a price in Thailand. i'm sure you will love bangkok... especially the shopping part... of course the people and the food are great too... i am so excited.

you know why? we're also going to phuket on the 26th!!! lol.. that's why...

Me, too. I heart Thai cuisine. The last time I had eaten some Thai food was during mother's day. Waah! If only we live near central.

i love thai food, too. meehoon tomyam helped me get thru the nausea during my pregnancy with the twins. i also love their salads -- such a delight to the palate.

personally, i think nothing beats the real thing. thai food in thailand just can't be duplicated anywhere else!

have fun in bangkok! :)
