“Massaman Curry, Khao Soi and a yellow watermelon.”
Q. Discovering new dishes, spices, ingredients and produce is so exciting. Jeff, can you tell our readers about your food discoveries in Thailand and how you discovered them?
JR. In the beginning, I was on such a tight budget that I was only getting things that cost me less than $1, like street Pad Thai and noodles from the noodle soup shops. As I travelled further through Thailand, I discovered more foods by asking fellow tourists and locals what their favourite dishes were.
That's what led me to Thai markets which people kept telling me I should go check out. Your first time at a Thai market can feel overwhelming but once I got over the intimidation, I explored the different food stalls and found so many amazing dishes on my own. And of course, after meeting Nuit, I happily let her guide me through the rest of the cuisine.
