Thai take out

Near my house in Ashland, Ma, is a pretty good Thai restaurant called Krua Khun Yah. Thai cuisine is unique in that it utilizes bitter, sweet, sour, and salty tastes in each dish. Thai cuisine is also known for its use of fiery hot chilies that are indigenous to Thailand. Pad Thai might be the most well known Thai dish. Made with rice noodles, meat of choice, bean sprouts, scallions, and peanuts make up this delicious dish. The popularity of Pad Thai is only outside of Thailand. Go to Thailand and Pad Thai is not really popular. One of the most popular Thai dish is Som Tum. Som Tum is green papaya salad. It looks like a light dish, but it packs a fiery punch. Like most Thai dishes it has chilies in it so be prepared to sweat. Green Papaya is grated and combined with shrimp, ground peanuts, grated carrots, garlic, and sweat and sour dressing. Krua Khun Yah serves their Som Tum with lettuce which is not added to Som Tum in Thailand. For an appetizer, Tod Mun Pla is minced shrimp and fish combined with thai red curry pasta and fried. They are served with a cucumber sauce with peanuts. They were kind of spongy in texture but you could tell it was made from seafood. Thai cuisine is a healthy alternative to Chinese take out. So if you want to try something new, search for a Thai restaurant to try. You will become hooked. Enjoy!
