Chicago Thai Food

[KJS]

I can help you translate that menu if you can get me a photo or something.

sum tum sih bpo = Green Papaya Salad without Crab

kaow neo = Sticky Rice

lap moo = Laap is ground meat mixed with herbs, lime and chiles. Moo is pork, so this dish would be Pork Laap.

glass of pepsi sih nam kang = Pepsi without ice.

PS. Don't try to speak Thai using this kind of transliteration, because Thai is a tonal language and without any marks telling you what tone the words are, it is pretty worthless. No offense to the original poster implied.

Siam Noodle is my favorite place in the city, but it's sort of a rathole. Fried dried beef is awesome.

I used to get Noodles in the Pot all the time - I think it's on Halstead just north of Fullerton. Good stuff and pretty cheap.

I'm not really into the Wrigleyville yuppie restaurant thing, but I'll do a Chicago 2+2 round of golf, if anyone's interested.

Thai Village on Division and Damen. Excellent food for a very cheap price, especially during lunch hours.

people can be yuppies. coffee shops can be yuppy. fashion boutiques (of which there are too many within 3 blocks of me) can be yuppy.

thai restaurants, well, i just don't think so.

i do apologize for living too close to a ballpark for your tastes, but i'd still like to get together with some chicago people for food and beer or something. sadly(?) many thai places are byob.

siam is good stuff. noodles in the pot is good stuff. snail in hyde park is good. up here i like thai quik (i think that's the spelling), banana leaf, dulk walk is eh. there's a lot of em. if people want to do something else, we could do some less affordable stuff like steak or whathaveyou, assuming that you know, overpriced meat isn't too yuppy.

Like golf is proletarian.
