Welcome to the very first of my Thai Food Around the Blog’o'Sphere round-up. It’s here that I hope to bring you all kinds of Thai food goodies from all over the internet each and every week. As I am just getting up and running here at Eating Bangkok I hope you’ll have some patience with me because I’m just beginning to come to grips with the HUGE number of food blogs out there. If you’ve come across this post and don’t see your post listed even though you posted about Thai food last week please don’t despair…just drop me a note so I have you on my radar for future additions of Thai Food Across the Blog’o'Sphere.
This week I’ve actually been fairly liberal in my definition of Thai food, but I’m sure you all won’t mind. Anyway, Thai cooking has been heavily influenced by Chinese cooking and with close to 15% of Thailand’s population being Chinese or at least claiming Chinese heritage there is a lot of great Chinese food to be found in Bangkok.
So without further ado here we go…
Those of you who might be in Singapore will be interested in this post by Nags at The Edible Garden. It’s a review of the Whole Earth Peranakan Thai Vegetarian Restaurant which is a chain type restaurant, but judging by the lovely pictures turns out some really good Thai inspired food.
Next up is a post from Chew on That which has nothing to do with Thai food other than the fact that it is focused around spicy foods. Spicy foods for Valentine’s Day no less, which is right around the corner. What better way to “heat” things up on V-Day than with some spicy desserts.
Jessica over at the Inquiring Chef has shared with us a recipe for Chili Cashew Chicken that I know is going to be delicious. This is a dish my wife makes for me quite frequently and the flavor profile is amazing. As I said, Thai food is heavily influenced by Chinese cooking and this is one great example.
Amy at Dinners for a Year has shared an Asian Beef and Noodle Bowl that is more reminiscent of Vietnamese food, but could be Thai easily. Substitute rice noodles and red pork and you’ll have a bowl of noodles looking almost like something you could get in Bangkok.
Donal Skehan is a huge fan of Asian inspired cuisine and in commemoration of the Chinese New Year shares with us 3 recipes for the Chinese New Year. You can be sure that they will be celebrating big time in Bangkok and what better way to celebrate than with some Dim Sum and Pineapple tarts.
Another Chinese New Year dish comes to us from Indonesia Eats. It’s a fish soup recipe and even though it’s Chinese, you could easily find something like this in Thailand as well. I really like the whole fish preparation too. Even though it’s a bit harder to eat, it imparts a lot more flavor to the broth.
