What should i order in a thai restaurant?

Question

i've never eaten thai food before and i am trying to follow a healthy diet at the moment, low fat etc, vaguely following the weightwatchers points system. what would be a good dish to order?

Answer 1

calamari

Answer 2

Thai food

Answer 3

i just love spring rolls or summer rolls with peanut dipping sauce.  thai food is aromatic and savory.  try to order something that captures that essence.  coconut milk based soups and stews are awesome as well.

enjoy!

Answer 4

I would make friends with a very good waiter and ask his opinion.  Thai food can be very, very spicy to Western tastes.  Thai-Style is OK though.  Also, find out what is being served before your order it.

Answer 5

Tom yum soup.

Delicious, and provides lots of veg and liquid, both really helpful if you're trying to eat more healthily. You can get variations with chicken in, with fish, with prawns. The flavours are spicy, hot, and fresh. Yum indeed :)

Answer 6

try there house curry

Answer 7

Generals Chicken, the sauce is out of this world most thai restaurants have it an it's the bomb. Make sure you ask for the chicken to be extra crispy an put the sauce on it, not on the side-it seems to taste different when sauce is on the side..Good Luck

Answer 8

anything with legs..it might be a table...anything with wings...you could get a jumbo jet...  ive heard their sticks are rather nice.

Answer 9

Full English

Answer 10

Try  Bow Thai.

Answer 11

Pad Thai Noodles and a Tom Yum soup

Answer 12

Order Me Crob..spelling is off but it's something you wrap in lettuce..delicious

Answer 13

they will usually do a set menu  , where you will get an assortment of dishes

all thai food is low fat   so don't worry bout ur diet

Answer 14

Fish is usually very good.

But whatever you order be sure to say "Not too much Chilli please". They may have a different idea of what 'too much' is to you though......

It's far to expensive in the UK.

Answer 15

If you need to eat healthy, go with Yum Woon Sen (spelling may vary)

It's known to be the most healthy among thai dishes.

This is what they serve patients (who need healthy food and on diet) at the hospital.

It's little noodles w/ vegetables and some meat (0% oil).

Answer 16

Don't go for:

- Anything deep fried, e.g. calamari, soft shell crab chicken wings.

- Curries, these are actually quite fattening because they contain a lot of oil.

Try:

Steamed fish

Steam tofu (also good for your skin)

Stir-fried veg

Coconut rice.

Answer 17

Thai green curry is particularly good.

Answer 18

See if they have some steamed fish.  Pad thai is their famous dish and it actually has very little oil, but it has peanuts (some fat) and sugar.
