Thai food

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Nasi Goreng is my favourite (a combination of rice cooked in soy sauce, chicken, prawns and vegetables). In fact, I may have to make my customary visit to the Suchard Restaurant on Tooley Street before the Seagulls over London AGM on Tuesday. That's if I can get anywhere near the place.

Another shout for Pad Thai - a gentle and very tasty introduction as you said you were new to it. Love Thai food - barely eat Chinese anymore which used to be my favourite.

Massaman is my favourite; creamy, thick, spicy but sweet.

I am a massaman fan. Very much a peanutty dish.

Another fan of the Massaman here, I always get it as hot as it comes, still not hot enough though.

Nasi Goreng is my favourite...

Technically speaking, Nasi Goreng is Indonesian not Thai. ;-)

Like others, I'd start with Tom Yum soup and a green curry.

Pad Thai, while great and a staple of Thai food, might not seem that different to a normal noodle dish.

I'd also try a green papaya salad as something quite unique to the cuisine.

i am a massive fan of Thai food, i can agree with everything that has been stated here before.

i personally like the southern Thai food, which tends to be spicier than the northern dishes.

My Favourites are the Massaman chicken (Muslim Chicken), Thai Green curry of which can be various strengths, so ask for it mild if you like it that way, but my ultimate dish is Kuay Tiew (Noodle Soup), this can be with different meats, and i honestly believe that once you have tried one, you will not stop until you have tried them all.

Penang curry. Ruined Thai find for me because everytime it's on the menu I can't see past it and I end up having it every time. So delicious.

As is Beef Rendang (mentioned above). From western Sumatra to be precise. We need more Indonesian restaurants in The UK. Rendang is awesome! Gado Gado too.

One final one from me and one of my favourite Thai dishes-Tom Kha Gai (substitute King Prawns for the chicken for Tom Kha Goong.
