Hello Mr? Dung

If you want to know our favourite Vietnamese or Chinese dishes, then it might be a good idea to share your own opinions and tastes. Tell us what you like and why. Otherwise your posts are fairly meaningless and most of them are bordering on being fluff.

I like Thai food best, but my 'favourite' dish changes all the time.

I like spicy squid salad. When it's done properly it's wonderful - and sometimes eye-wateringly spicy. It tastes great, though.

Green curry is another favourite.

It's amazing how many people have a go at making this, but I've never had a decent one outside Thailand. (Unless I made it myself, of course.) Most so-called Thai restaurants I've been to elsewhere make a real hash of it. The one exception to that being a little Thai place in Shepherd's Bush - now that was real Thai food.

For me nothing beats Filipino Dishes. They are simple but the spices and the variety is just tempting. The special Chicken Binakol is great and sweet with bits of spices. Also those foods with coconut milk combined with spicy chili like the Bicol Express is just sumptuous!

While I like all Asian food, I love Malaysian food the best.

Among my all time favourites, is satay. Marinated skewered meat grilled over an open fire and served with a spicy peanut sauce, an side dishes of cucumber, onions and rice cubes.

Asam laksa also comes to mind. A noodle dish, it's served with an assortment of greens, including sliced cucumber, lettuce, and mint. Other ingredients include pineapple, onions and a touch of finely sliced torch ginger flower. The dish is comes in a bowl of fish soup, brownish in colour due to the chilli and tamarind, with a spoonful of dark brown prawn paste that is mixed in.

Yes, I know, a picture would say a thousand words. But I'm lazy and worried I'd be cited for spam. So, you're left to your imagination for now.

I'm not a huge fan of Malaysian food but I do like the satay, just as you described it. Even the street hawkers make it really well. I like pork satay the best, though, and pork is difficult to get in Malaysia unless you specifically seek out non-halal places.

Glad to see another person who enjoys satay, Kay!

Pork satay is a bit uncommon nowadays, unfortunately. I remember when there were more Chinese stalls selling satay. These stalls would serve pork meat, along with other offal parts, especially intestines. And they would serve toasted bread instead of packed rice (nasi himpit)! I had that when I was a kid, sorry if I get nostalgic.

There is a particularly popular satay shop that I went to when I was in Malacca this year. Not really touristy part of town though, but really great satay. Free flow peanut sauce too! And a good choice of offal meat too if you're into that sort of thing, liver, intestines.

IMO, Chinese food is pretty good option in Asia which is unique, tasty and very common its cuisine is full of healthy and tasty ingredients.
My favorite dishes are Dou Ban Yu, Chow Mein, Chow Fun, Lo Mai Gai, Jiaozi, Fung Jeow and Char Siu Bao these are my most favorite dishes.

Japanese food would be my favorite. Filipino food would also count, they have this vegetable soup that is rather sour but great tasting.

Think my favorite asian dish would be Thai tom yam pla ( hot and sour fish soup), the ingredients are very simple etc but i do find cooking it very hit and miss , i have been told the Chilli Paste in Oil makes a big difference. I would only have it once a month so that way I do not tire of it.

I make this all the time to go on Banh Mi but you could put it on anything:

Daikon & Carrot Pickle

1 large carrot cut into thick matchsticks
1 lb daikons peeled and cut into thick matchsticks
1 tsp salt
2 tsp plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 & 1/4 cup white vinegar
1 cup lukewarm water

Put carrots and daikon into bowl and massage with salt and the 2 tsp sugar. Stop kneading when you can bend daikon end to end and it doesn't break. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Press to expel excess water. Transfer them to jar.

Make a brine in a separate bowl with the 1/2 cup sugar, vinegar and warm water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Pour into jar. Makes sure veggies are covered. Marinate for at least an hour before eating. Keeps in the fridge for a month. This pickle gives off a pungent odor. That does not mean its gone off.
