Do you remember which roadside eatery this was at? I would love to try this (I’m Filipino, but I live in Thailand).

Blog on Tom Yung Goong made me smile. My wife is Thai and here on Siargao I am lucky enough to have many local fisherman friends who can keep us supplied with ingredients for Tom Yung Goong. Only problem are some of the vegetable ingredients are hard to source locally… sigh

agree, a lot of roadside eateries in Thailand are just awesome. cheap, incredibly delicious and satisfying food. Went to Karon beach in Phuket and found this stall offering chicken noodle soup and chicken rice. The proprietor used chicken breast and it came out so tender and juicy, I was baffled why restaurants, with more experienced cooks, don’t get it right. And yeah, for like 50 or 60 baht, you have a full meal already :)

Mango and sticky rice — great! But do you know what is even better? Guimaras mangoes with budbud kabog!

joejj, there were only 8 in our party total and we ate all of this. And I didn’t take a photo of our driver’s lunch. He insisted on eating another rice dish on his own. And there wasn’t anything for dessert here, so we ended up eating tons of mango and sticky rice a little later that afternoon… :)

Thai food here in Houston is expensive, but not as much as Japanese. Some Pinoy entrepreneur ventured into Thai resto combo Pinoy.

Hi MM, were you a party of nine people including the driver? You ordered 3 servings of pad thai, 3 servings of fried rice, 3 servings of tom yum goong, and chicken rice (how many?). Some serious appetite! What did you have for dessert? I have increasingly realized that Thai food in the Philippines is like a watered down version of the real deal. Have always been happy with Peoples Palace in GB or Mango Tree in BGC more for the service rather than the food, but I bet in terms of honesty, and the ability to satisfy a hungry stomach, this open air restaurant experience of yours is a winner.
