I lived in Thailand for 25 years and the majority of my meals that were not home cooked came from street food stalls. Most stalls offer a single dish or at the most two. Among my favorites were Khao man Gai (boiled chicken over broth-steamed rice) and Khao Ka Moo (slices of pork loin marinated in a 5-spice based mixture, then grilled or oven roasted and served over broth-steamed jasmine rice). Imagine my joy when I saw the take out offerings from the Siam Noodle Bar. Ecstacy! Now imagine my feeling when that street food turned out to be a total disaster – for anyone who really knows Thai food. Here is what I found in my $60 plus take out order Khao Man Gai:The chicken was served over the cheapest of broken rice instead of jasmine cooked in chicken broth seasoned with slightly crisped garlic. No Thai in their right mind would accept that rice on their dinner table unless they were starving.The chicken itself was dry instead of moist with the skin still attached. Way over-boiled.The sauce accompanying the Khao Man Gai – which brings the dish together – appeared to contain no sweet soya and was way, way too salty. I appeared to have been made with just the white bean sauce (very salty). Without the sweet soya (similar to molassas), it was AWFUL. Khao Moo DaengAgain, broken rice – looks like the cheapest rice they could buy instead of good quality jasmine.They forgot to include the sauce – which, again, brings the meal together. This sauce is usually made from the left-over marinade used on the pork, thickened, and with vinegar and soy sauce added.Again, the pork was dry, although the flavor was acceptable. I made a substitute sauce and put the meat over some nice Khao Man (Jasmine rice steamed in chicken broth instead of water) and it was okay. But why should I, after spending over half a C-note, have to make my own sauce and use my own Jasmine rice? Banmee Moo DaengA savory noodle soup made with Chinese wheat noodles and red pork, bok choy, bean sprout, celery, green onion, cilantro and fried garlic. This was acceptable. Better than most of the items I had ordered. With most East Asian soups, you must add condiments of your choice to bring out the flavor. I added rice vinegar, slice chilli pepper, ground peanut and dried red pepper. It was salty enough that no additional nam pla was needed. Spring RollsAcceptable except I prefer the traditional Vietnamese style dipping sauce to the peanut sauce they provided – but that is a personal preference. Egg RollsThey completely forgot to include the two egg rolls I had ordered. All in all, I won’t be returning and would recommend anyone who knows and enjoys authentic Thai street food stay away.
Thailand Street vendor food. This how I grew up eating in Thailand. They offer a seasoning on the side, so you can dress how you like it. It is very fresh, healthy and delicious.
