Yeah, I've always loved thai, though the thai I tried in the US was superior to the thai I've found here so far - not that I've looked very much. I'm sure there is just as good thai hidden somewhere around here.

From what I can have of Thai I've really enjoyed it. I'm allergic to pretty much every kind of nut, so it makes it hard to try a wide range of things. :\
I do love Thai, but quite like when having Chinese, I am greedy for the many things they have and vastly prefer a buffet so I can have a lot of the various things that look (and usually are) nice as opposed to having a set meal from a menu. Good Thai buffets are hard to find, and the one I liked closed down. :( We have since checked out one of the most highly rated Thai restaurants in Edinburgh and it was really good, but still I did not feel satisfied because I could not have a buffet there.
EDIT: I'm not a fan of sorbet, though.
Pad Thai is the best thing ever.
Not sure that actually counts in this thread though seeing as I've always gotten it from Chinese restaurants.
I'll do a buffet, but the quality is almost always lacking compared to ordering off the menu. Even the good buffets can't keep it as fresh and tasty. I'd rather have one fresh dish that I ordered.Quote:

Probably because I don't have it as often and in some cases I'm not sure if I'll like it.Quote:

If you like sushi, I know of one place we'd both like. They do a "all you care to eat" sushi deal. You get a list of about 50 different sushi/sashimi items to choose from. You order 3 at a time, and it's made fresh. So it's like a buffet, but also like ordering off the menu. I love it, and I now that I moved I can't find another place like it. :(Quote:

I've always heard that what we Americans all know and love as Chinese food isn't really Chinese at all.Quote:

As for Thai food, I like the yellow and green curries with seafood, chicken or duck. That's usually the sort of thing I get when I go to proper Thai restaurant. But since most of my Thai food ends up being bought from the little hole-in-the-wall style kiosks, Pad Thai's are the main choice and anything with cashews running a close second.
Ate Thai last night.
smurf. Yes.
It seems whenever I go to a Thai restaurant, I can order anything off the menu and like it.
One of my favorites!
Thai food is delicious, just like most other Asian food. I had some really great Thai food while in Thailand, naturally, but I also went to this really great Thai place in southern China, close to the border of Laos. The food there was so good, and really spicy. YUM!
It's been ages since I've had proper Thai food, though. There are some places here where I live that look quite good, but I have no idea if they actually are. I'll have to try them out at one point.
My dad cooks godly Chinese food. The stuff you eat in America might as well be defecate from american mutts.Quote:
