Thai Food from Isaan- Hello everyone.
- Do you fancy Thai Food? I really do! I like Thai food because it has a unique taste. Today I would like to recommend one famous Thai-Isaan dish for you which is น้ำตกหมู /nám-dtòk-mǔu/
- น้ำตกหมู /nám-dtòk-mǔu/ is made of grilled pork with Thai herb and ingredients such as chilli, shallots, roasted rice powder, kaffir lime leaves, parsley and some seasoning. You can have น้ำตกหมู /nám-dtòk-mǔu/ with fresh vegetable and sticky rice. Oooh, mouthwatering!
- Remember: This dish can be very hot and spicy. If you cannot eat very spicy food, don’t forget to tell the seller that ไม่เผ็ด /mâi pèt/ which means “not spicy” or you need to prepare many bottles of water! 🙂
- Enjoy Thai food!
