18. “ชาไทยเย็น” (cha-thai-yen) aka Thai tea. Thai tea is originally made from Ceylon tea, but they’re pricey so people also use landrace Assam as the tea base and mix in food coloring. Concentrated milk is the common sweetener. “yen” means it’s an iced version because it can be hot or ice-blended too.

This will begin a subthread on sweet scene in Thailand because this is an interesting subculture here contrasting to the US.

17. “ผัดไทย” (pad-thai). That’s right the well-known pad thai. It’s a stir-fried noodle dish that use rice noodles and a tamarind sauce base. Many don’t contain meat. Common ingredients are bean sprouts, garlic chives, preserved radish, tofu, & (lots of) crushed roasted peanuts.

16. “ข้าวหมูแดงหมูกรอบ” (kao-moo-dang-moo-krob). This is rice with “red pork” and crispy pork belly. Usually you get only one type of pork, but you can order a mix of them. “Red pork” is marinated pork that incorporates red food coloring. It tastes a bit sweet, so does its sauce.

15. “เสี่ยวหลงเปา” (xiao-long-bao) aka soup dumpling. They’re steamed buns with pork filling that also contain soup! It originated from China. But Thailand has a large Chinese population that has culturally assimilated. Hence, Chinese food is also part of our culture.
