New York Food | Thai Fried Fish as Good as the Picture (2)🍔

Main Course: Red Snapper Lad Prik $38 🔪 🌿 Absolutely loving this! For $38, you get a whole red snapper – such a great deal in New York! 🌟 I’ve always been a fan of Thai fried fish, but many places charge $40-$60, and you often have to wait for ages. The batter on this fried fish is just perfect – crispy on the outside, but the fish inside is still tender and juicy. It comes with the classic sweet and spicy sauce, along with lots of broccoli and cabbage. 🌿 Even the bones are crispy! By the end, I was gnawing on the fish head, savoring every bit. The dish comes with rice, but the only downside is that the rice isn’t very fragrant. It feels like too much water was used. 🍙 Main Course: BBQ Spare Ribs $25 🔪 Delicious and super filling – you’ll have leftovers unless you’re a true food warrior! 😅 The ribs are very meaty and surprisingly flavorful, with a nutty taste that’s not overwhelming like regular peanut sauce. It’s not salty or sweet, making it a perfect match for rice. The combination of the nutty flavor and the sweet pork is really comforting. 🍖 🌿 Kanom Jean Nam Ngeow (Pig Blood Noodles) $22 🔪 We ended up eating all pork dishes! 😂 This pig blood noodle dish is quite unique – a specialty from Northern Thailand. It comes with pork cartilage, pig blood, and Thai sauerkraut. The spiciness is intense, similar to Sichuan dried chili peppers, rather than the fresh or pickled chilies found in typical Thai dishes. The heat is very direct – if you can’t handle it, drinking hot soup will feel like breathing fire! 🌿 The dish is served with rice noodles, which are round and smooth, similar to Yunnan-style noodles. If you prefer chopsticks, don’t hesitate to ask – they do have them, and you’ll definitely need them! 🥢 Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal! I’ll definitely come back for that fried fish many more times! 🌟 #NYCLife 🌃 #NYCFood 🍔 #ThaiCuisine 🌿
