The Dishes
Street food carts across Thailand often specialise in only one signature dish. Recipes and methods are passed down from generations and the final product is usually the best.
Here at KOH SAMUI, we aim to achieve this simplicity with our 5 dish menu.
Pad Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food in Thailand as part of the country’s cuisine. It is typically made with rice noodles, shrimp, peanuts, a scrambled egg, and bean sprouts, among other vegetables.
Moo Ping is Thai-style grilled pork on a skewer that is marinated in a mixture of coriander, garlic, pepper, oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. This combo gives it that sweet, spicy, salty, savoury balance that is classic in Thai food.
Pad See Ew is a stir-fried noodle dish that is commonly eaten in Thailand. The dish is prepared in a wok which allows the black soy sauce added at the end of the cooking process to stick to the noodles for an exaggerated caramelising and charring effect.
Gai Tod or fried chicken is a popular street food dish across Thailand. It has a gorgeous colour, where the sugar in the recipe comes to the surface and caramelises in the oil. Its flavour is unique, offering a really deep garlicy, salty flavour.
Guay Tiew Moo is a Thai-style pork noodle soup. This dish is very simple and extremely common as street food in Thailand. It is typically made with thin rice noodles, pork balls, bean sprouts, spring onion stems and fried garlic.
The Desserts
Just like the main menu, Thai dessert vendors specialise in one delicious delicacy. Thai desserts are less popular than the meals, however that doesn’t mean they aren’t tasty.
Here at KOH SAMUI, the dessert selection is restricted to only 3 of the finest.
Salapao (steamed bun) originates from China and there are similar versions across south-east Asia. They are a popular snack which are sold at roadside eateries. The Salapao with sweet fillings (‘sai waan‘) may consists of a cream filling (‘sai kriim‘).
Mango sticky rice is a common street food in Thailand and is considered an attractive factor by foreigner tourists for travelling in Thailand. Sweet mangoes are combined with glutinous rice sweetened with coconut milk, and served warm.
Coconut ice cream is the traditional ice cream flavour in Thailand. Thai coconut ice cream is usually made with coconut milk and a simple syrup, without additional dairy or eggs, giving it a very refreshing and clean coconut flavour.
