There are many must try dishes in Koh Samui including the depicted Som Tom |
No matter where any individual is in the world, there’s
bound to be a restaurant that serves Thai cuisines. These mouth-watering dishes
have made significant impacts on culinary industries across various nations,
and have helped foreigners understand Thailand’s local culture a little better
through the appreciation of good cooking.
Koh Samui itself is a holiday destination of choice through many
aspects, including tongue-tantalizing meals. Those staying in ShaSa resort are given an excellent selection of local
chow to feast on courtesy of Beyond the Sea. Alternatively, they can also head
out to various other restaurants outside the establishment to see how well those
businesses fair in preparing local gourmet food.
But when stumped as to what to order, Samuians have come up
with a list of the top five best dishes to order, of which the first one is
Moo-Sa-Te. This tasty meal consists of sweet-flavored grilled pork sticks laced
with juicy sauce derived from curry powder and turmeric.
The second must-try dish is called Kai Pad Med Mamuang
Himmapan, which is basically stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts. This slightly
sweet and salty bird isn’t spicy, so it’d definitely be a great choice for
those who can’t handle the level of spiciness of other cuisines. Also, the
crunchy cashew nuts included in the meal helps accentuate the unique flavorful
of the chicken.
Third on the list is Tom Yam Koong, which is spicy shrimp
soup in English. This cuisine batters the tongue with spice and sourness with
the use of kaffir lime leaves, galangal, shallot, chili pepper, and fragrant
herbs.
Tom Yam Kai is the fourth entry on this list – commonly
referred by westerners as spicy chicken soup, this cuisine features an
impressive blend of lime, chili, and fish sauce that’s guaranteed to please any
tourist who can handle a little spice in their meals.
Fifth, we have Panaeng – also identified as meat in spicy
coconut cream, this dish is prepared using beef, pork or chicken. Those who’ve
sunk their teeth in this tasty treat say that its flavors resemble that of Thai
red curry. However, a notable difference between the two meals would be Panaeng’s
thicker and richer coconut milk sauce.
It’s imperative that the Koh Samui highlights of any vacationer’s holiday include food
tasting. Those staying in ShaSa Resort have
the outstanding opportunity to experience authentic Thai dishes within the
business’ restaurant, as well as other diners nearby.
