Three Thai Dishes on CNN’s Best Street Foods in Asia

You may be familiar with some well-known Thai dishes like Tom Yum Goong, Pad Thai, or Massaman curry, but Thailand still has an even wider variety of cuisines for you to try. Let’s look at three new dishes that you may not be familiar with but that have become favourites of food lovers worldwide and can be easily found on the streets of Thailand. Here are three Thai dishes that were included in CNN’s list of the best 50 street foods in Asia.

  • Crab Omelettes The popularity of crab omelettes, known in Thai as Kai Jeow Pu, has likely increased since Jay Fai’s restaurant received a Michelin Star; crab omelettes are one of her most well-known dishes. The perfect combination of crab and eggs is made even better by the wok’s crispy edges, fluffy inside, and a drip of sweet chili sauce.
      • Khao Soi  The curry noodle soup known as khao soi, which is topped with deep-fried egg noodles, was recently voted as TasteAtlas’ best soup. Originally from Northern Thailand, this menu is now available in many restaurants all over the country. Vendors spoon thick, creamy, chili-infused coconut soup over a bed of egg noodles with beef or chicken legs, creating lovely golden bowls. Mustard greens, freshly cut shallots, lime wedges, and chili paste are frequently served on the side.
        • Sai Krok Isan One of the most popular street delicacies in northeastern Thailand is Sai krok Isan, or northeastern Thai sausage. It is typically made using pork, sticky rice, and garlic, then hung up to ferment and dry. It is sour and garlicky. Different vendors use different herbs and spices, but toppings like ginger, cabbage, and hot peppers usually complete the perfect mouthful.
