  • So I actually have been to Thailand. Which I'm not sure Nicole G. can actually say she has. I left my soul, tummy, and 2nd home there at Chiang Mai's Southern Gate. The Southern Gate, which is 1/4 the City of Chiang Mai, is the outdoor food market which sells the farmer's daily harvests and houses the best street food vendors in Northern Thailand. I had the honor of eating, Thai style, with some of the kindest smiling faces on Earth every day for 2 months. I also toured the city with my welcoming and accommodating friends such places as the STRICTLY Thai neighborhoods, "Farang" party corridor, humble villages, and the Westernized utopia. I ate at a Thai BBQ w/ hotpot which was one of the most memorable eats of my life. I ate that whole city! And I have to say, the way that Siam Orchid reminds me of Thailand most is the FACT that there is no true "THAI FLAVOR". In Thailand there are a myriad of tastes and flavors depending on where you go and who they market to. Perhaps most importantly, in Thailand you had Thai Chefs wanting to feature new and bold recipes to make themselves stand out from their competitors. Thai food was the fact that you ate it in Thailand with Thai ingredients. What you get in the states is AMERICAN Thai food. You couldn't even get a major ingredient Kaffir limes here until recently. Really, who would want to eat frog and pumpkin soup or raw beef with spices anyway (other than me because they're both delicious!). The owners of Siam Orchid are proof of the culinary creativity of the Thais. Their food is clean tasting with refined recipes featuring the flavors of traditional Thai spices such as ginger, tumeric, lemongrass,chili, and basil. They utilize their traditionally Thai ingredients to create you a Thai dish from Thais and they do a wonderful job of it!!! So 5 years from my last meal in Thailand, I can still experience a little of that place I miss so much, and it's in the smiles of Pimporn, her husband, and their delicious family recipes. Our favorite dishes, try the: (7) Tord Mun Plah (appetizer fish cake) Panang w/ beef (spicy curry), Pad See Ewe w/Chicken (gravy noodle dish), Pahd Ga-Prao (chicken & basil- a Thai favorite), Thai omelet & Thai fried fish (can't get any more traditional than these two) and can't skip dessert- mango & sticky rice with homemade coconut ice cream on top!
