Thai Food for Foreigners

For those of you who are planning on travelling to Thailand but would like to play it safe when it comes to food, this is just the blog for you.  I myself was afraid, well mortified, at some of the dishes which Mon prepared.  Spicy wasn't my strongest suit and neither was seafood.  I slowly adapted and became more adventurous, but still rather enjoy my foreign Thai food.
One of my favourite dishes is rice with pork egg.  In the grocery store you can buy packages of pork seasoning.  Add a teaspoon of seasoning and scramble it into two eggs.  Place the egg into a frying pan with a little bit of oil and WA-LA!

This next dish I tried while at my first monk ceremony.  Traditional Thai food was the only thing served and after trying numerous dishes I stumbled across this one.  Its a peanut sauce which goes well with noodles.  I am absolutely in love with it and hope to find a recipe, in english, so I can make it back home. Bow and Mon are planning on giving me cooking lessons before I leave and hopefully I will be able to share some of my dishes with you guys.  I could always open up a little Thai vending stand when I go back home :P

Another favourite of mine is street vendor noodles.  I am absolutely in love with "meu lueng moo nam sigh" which in English means brown noodles with pork.  The broth of the noodles down here is so rich in flavour that I always cringe with disgust when Bow and Mon pollute it with numerous spices and seasonings.  

This dish I was recently introduced too.  This was dinner last night which is a mix of vegetables, beans, and garlic.  I find it to rich in flavour by itself but perfect when combined with rice.  When I go back home all I'm going to need to make a quick and healthy meal is a wok, rice and some vegetables.  I am excited to share my new outlook on cuisine with my family and friends.
