Satay สะเต๊ะ Satay originates from Indonesia, but has |
become so popular in Thailand, that it feels right to include it in our menu. This recipe was given to me by an Indonesian student, Tamboonan, who became a good friend while we were studying for our Masters Degrees at Cranfield Institute of Technology Uk in 1991. Our Satay is authentically Indonesian, and perhaps slightly different and stronger in flavour, than most Thai versions available. I have unfortunately lost contact with Tamboonan, but I hope that he has been successful, with gas turbines, rather than food, and thank him for this recipe.Thai Curries กับข้าวครัวไทย
|
||||||
Thai curries: are made by pounding fresh herbs to make a paste before cooking. The distinctive ingredients are: Galangal, Kaffir Limes, and Lemon Grass. The different colours and flavours are derived from the different herbs and spices used, the reds and greens are from the varieties of chillies used. The creaminess comes from the addition of coconut milk. |
| 1. Gaeng Keow Wan Gai แกงเขียวหวานไก่ £7.75 |
| Green curry with chicken and seasonal vegetables. One of the most popular and distinctive curries, it is almost essential to have it at a large celebration. |
| 2. Massaman Nua แกงมัสมันเนื้อ £8.55 |
| A Rich Beef curry with peanuts and potatoes, included in most wedding celebrations, as it is difficult to prepare, and uses the rare and expensive potato. |
|
| 3. Gaeng Garee Gai แกงกะหรีไก่ £7.45 |
| A mild and creamy Yellow Curry with chicken and potatoes, it is very easy to eat, and is my mother-in-laws favourite. |
| 4. Gaeng Phed Pet Yang แกงเผ็ดเป็ดย่าง £8.25 |
| Red curry with roast duck and tomatoes, the richness of the curry is nicely counterbalanced by the acidity of the tomatoes. |
| 5. Gaeng-Kua-Sapparod แกงคั่วสัปปะรด £8.25 |
| Red curry with prawn and pineapple (traditionally using dried mussels). This old style, sweet and sour curry has a very distinctive taste from the dried shrimp and pineapple. Its a real Thai pedigree curry, which had not been included in Thai commercial menus, for a long time. I just wanted to bring it back for people to try, rather than them knowing only the Thai Green Curry |
"Choosing a wife": It is rumoured that in days gone by, in villages all over Thailand, there was only one sure way of knowing if the girl of your dreams was going to make you a good wife and impress your mother. That was to see her in action - pounding curry pastes! This could be done in a number of ways. Quite openly she could be volunteered into helping with preparations for the next big celebration, under the prospective mother-in-law's watchful eye. Of course she would know that she was being watched and act accordingly. The more wily mother-in-law would pay early morning visits to the family compound of the girl, in secret, where she would have over-heard the girl pounding the pastes for the day. She would be listening out for the impressive, rhythmical, vigorous and untiring style that would reassure them that their son had chosen well. |

20 Baht: This green Thai bank note, with the portrait of our beloved King Phumiphol Rama IX is worth about 33p. To me and most Thai's, it means a bowl of noodle soup, or roast pork on rice, or most single dish lunches.......I'm glad that you're willing to pay more than this. |
| Stir-Fried Curries - ผัดเผ็ด These curries are made from the same basic pastes as the classical curries, but the cooking method differs, producing more concentrated flavours and less sauce. |

| About Fish......Thai people don't want to have a fish if the chef has thrown the head away. The English don't want to have a fish if it comes with the head on. Fish eyes, guts, eggs, head and fins, are the most expensive part of the fish, and are considered a delicacy in Thailand. In England with the exception of caviar and cod roe, they throw them away or just use them to make pet food. "Just the way it is"!! |

As time's gone by things have changed. In the past, nearly every house in Thailand had this water pot, with a long handled coconut shell water cup. Waiting for travellers to come by and have a drink..........Sadly This is rarely seen nowadays! |

Soup is not served as an appetiser in Thailand but included as another dish in the meal. It is either spooned over the rice or taken in small sips to refresh the palate between the flavours of the other dishes. I try to encourage everybody to eat it like this, but I had to give up with my brother-in-law. Keiron, whose favourite dish is Tom yam Gung, which he insists on having as a starter. |
| 24. Tom Yam gung ต้มยำกุ้ง £6.85 |
| Hot and sour prawn soup with citrus overtones. Perhaps the most famous dish of all, there are almost as many versions, as there are restaurants, "most are delicious" |
| 25. Tom Kha Gai ต้มข่าไก่ £6.75 |
| A rich aromatic chicken soup with coconut milk, more or less the same flavours as Tom Yam but always with the addition of coconut milk, milk, or cream |
| 26. Gaeng Jeud Woon-Sen แกงจืดวุ้นเส้น £7.25 |
| Glass noodle soup, tasty but not spicy, thought of as good a choice for breakfast in Thailand, something for the children, or as a counterbalance when lots of hot dishes have been chosen. |
| 27. Gaeng Jeud Nor-Mai แกงจืดหน่อไม้กับไก่ £6.95 |
| A clear soup with bamboo shoots and chicken. Thought to be a remedy for a cold, because its quite peppery and warming |
| 28. Tom Yam Nua ตมยำเนื้อ £7.25 |
| Another version of Number 23, Tom Yam Gung, but with fresh beef. The taste has to be much stronger and much hotter to beat the beef taste. It is renowned for sobering people up in the early hours after they have been drinking through the night |
About the picture under each page of our menu and website: You might be wondering about the footer picture of our website. This is a sketch of "Poy Sang Long Ceremony" or the Old Thai New Year in Mae-Hong Sorn, a province in the North of Thailand. In the sketch, they are parading with monks in the front, followed by an important lady on the cart, followed by Buddha's figure and musicians and dancers at the back. I have never been there myself, but a friend who's been, said it was the best parade that he has ever seen. I think that this is a very fine and detailed sketch, and I wanted to include it as the background to our menu and website! |

| Fa-Rang ฝรั่ง........The word "Fa-Rang" in Thailand has two meanings, the first means Guava, and the second is the name that Thai people have given to White Caucasian westerners. The word came from the French Fa-ran-ce, which was the name given to the French, who came over to trade in the far east 250 years ago Farang's Hand มือฝรั่ง.........It is said to be bad manners to use your foot to do things, instead of hands, in front of anyone, who you do not know well. We see Farang's using their foot to do everything, like "pointing to an object", turning the TV switch on and off, or "putting their feet on the table while talking to visitors". While the Thai's consider it very rude to show your feet to people that you do not know well. So in Thai "slang" the "foot" can be translated and commonly known as..... Farang's Hand มือฝรั่ง "Meua Farang" |

About Khao Neow "Sticky Rice"...... "Khao" means rice, "Neow" means sticky. In the past everybody in the Kingdom of Thailand used to eat sticky rice. Only the palace used non-sticky grain rice. Thai people call this rice "Khao Jaaw", the word "Jaaw" means king so "Khao Jaaw" means, rice for the king and his family. The majority of people in Thailand eat Khao Jaaw now. Only the people in the North East of Thailand eat Khao Neow as their stapler, the rest of Thailand, eat Khao Neow occasionally, and to make puddings. We rarely hear the words Khao Jaaw, we now call it "Khao Suay" instead. The word "Suay" means beautiful i.e. non-soggy...non-sticky. |
Please Note: This menu is quite large with lots of information... we are unable to provide information for all the ingredients we cook with. So please ask our waiting staff, if you have some difficulty or allergy with particular ingredients.

| We do not suggest that the uninitiated and inexperienced try these dishes, to be honest there are many Thais, who would rather give some of them a miss too!! Generally accepted as acquired tastes these dishes may be scorching hot, pungently smelly, extremely salty or just plain unsociable, because of the use of raw garlic. We include them because they are part of the authentic repertoire and we know that some of you will want to try them at some point even if it's just to say that you have |
Gaeng Som แกงส้ม £7.65 |
a mixture between a curry and a soup and best served with fish, "It has a distinctive smell, likened to smelly socks by the unknowing". My wife thought that her friend and neighbours husband had a serious problem with his feet, when the smell wafted over every evening when he came back from work.) Hot and sour and definitely addictive, if the taste is acquired! |
Gaeng Liang แกงเลยง £6.95 |
Another smelly concoction, originally from kapi, fermented shrimps, and onions used in the preparation. Spicy from the addition of black peppercorns rather than chilli and containing lots of vegetables. Thought to be particularly beneficial for pregnant women, children or if you have a cold. |
Gaeng Pa แกงป่า £7.75 |

| New Dishes A trip home (Thailand) this year...... felt like a food tour. We tried to eat in every restaurant that had been recommended. Just to collect as many ideas as we could for the Thai Kitchen back here. We had one meal in a restaurant in the South of Bangkok, we had to go across a bridge to get to our table in the hut in the middle of the lake. The dinner table was about, 1 foot high from the bamboo floor. It felt so relaxing for some of us, just to sit cross legged on the floor, but me!! I laid down, eating some and sleeping some. I thought to myself, that some day I'll have this kind of restaurant in England!! I noticed that the Thai eating habits are changing towards healthy ingredients with lots of fresh herbs involved. There were no, really new dishes, which I had never heard of, most of them were adapted from old recipes, combined together to create new dishes. The old curry dishes which had been missing from Thai menu's for years have reappeared too! |

In the past few years, especially this year, this dish has popped up, in the menu of every restaurant, that we had been to in Thailand. It is straight forward, easy, and unsophisticated taste unlike curry. They stir fry any type of meat with basic fresh Thai herbs, adding young fresh green peppercorns and fresh lesser ginger. People feel that they can't go wrong with this dish I suppose. If you order it try to recognise the taste of the lesser ginger root and it is good for you. You can order the dish with any of the following seafood..... |
