Let\u2019s start with the basics, this dish is exactly what you expect it to be. Believe it or not, omelets are popular food throughout the world, and in Thailand it\u2019s no different. If you\u2019re kids are being fussy eaters while you\u2019re on holiday, this is a great way to get them to eat as it\u2019s something they\u2019re almost certainly familiar with. \u201cKow kai jeeo\u201d is just a simple omelet, mixed with tender pieces of pork (moo) or chicken (gai) and served over a plate of fine tasting jasmine rice. Drench the omelet with tomato ketchup, and there you go, a simple, easy meal that kids are guaranteed to love.

Where to Buy: <\/strong>Restaurants Price: <\/strong>40-45 Baht Top Tip<\/strong>: When you ask for \u2018kow kai jeeo\u2019 add the word \u2018moo\u2019 on the end if you want pork, or \u2018gai\u2019 if you prefer chicken omelet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Garlic Fried Chicken with Rice and Fried Egg<\/strong> This one is a bit of a mouthful. By that we mean the name in Thai, \u201cGai tort ga teeam kai dao\u201d, which may take one or two attempts before you say it right! But it\u2019ll be well worth the attempt if you can say it right, for this is a dish that kids are sure to love. Tender pieces of chicken are brought to life once cooked with this delicious garlic sauce. Served over steamed rice and with a fried egg thrown in for good measure, it\u2019s surprisingly similar to something you might eat back at home. Where to Buy: <\/strong>Restaurants Price: <\/strong>45-50 Baht Top Tip<\/strong>: If you prefer a small omelet rather than fried egg, you can ask for \u2018gai tort ga teeam kai jeeo<\/em>\u2019 instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thai Cucumber Salad<\/strong> A fresh tasting, totally not spicy Thai salad. Sweet, tangy and juicy tasting, made with slices of fresh cucumber, shallots, cilantro, onions, peanuts and a squeeze of vinegar, this delicious salad can be eaten alone or as an accompaniment to fish and meat dishes. Where to Buy: <\/strong>Restaurants Price: <\/strong>50-60 Baht Top Tip<\/strong>: This salad is often eaten with a variety of the steamed fish dishes that are so popular in Thailand, so if you can tempt the kids with this it might be a way of enticing them to try some other things too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Isan Pork Sausage with Sticky Rice<\/strong> This is always an especially tempting treat for kids in Thailand. \u201cNam saayd gorg\u201d comes from the north east of Thailand, normally home to some of the country\u2019s spiciest of foods. However, perhaps this was truly a dish made with kids and fussy eaters in mind, for it\u2019s not at all spicy like other dishes associated with the region. the Isan pork sausage is big, chunky, very meaty and ever so slightly sweet or sour tasting, depending on how it\u2019s been made. Eat with your fingers, in between handfuls of the deliciously chewy sticky rice, it\u2019s a sure fun way for the kids to have their dinner, Where to Buy: <\/strong>Vendors, restaurants Price: <\/strong>50-60 Baht <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Deep Fried Chicken or Shrimps with Sticky Rice<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is another kid\u2019s favorite, and it looks just like the real KFC that you can find at home. Called \u201cGai tort\u201d these deep fried pieces of succulent chicken in a yellow crispy batter can be found on almost every street corner in Bangkok, as they\u2019re a popular snack food for street cleaners, office workers and policemen alike. Eat them with a bag of sticky rice, a sweet sauce dip and prepare to get some very messy fingers! Where to Buy: <\/strong>Vendors Price: <\/strong>45-50 Baht per piece, 5 Baht for sticky rice Top Tip<\/strong>: You\u2019ll probably want to find a vendor who has tables so you can sit down and eat, rather than watching your kids struggle with it and make a mess as you walk around the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chicken Satay<\/strong> These are tasty Thai kebabs. \u201cSatay gai\u201d are a great snack food for kids, one that they\u2019re sure to enjoy without any crying or whining at all. Usually three or four chunky morsels of marinated chicken served on skewers and cooked over a grill, they can be found at restaurants or by vendors on the street. They come served with a delicious peanut sauce poured over them, tucked into a handy plastic bag for you so the kids can safely munch on them as they walk down the road. Where to Buy: <\/strong>Vendors, restaurants Kids can be difficult eaters at the best of times, so imagine what it must be like when you fly off to Bangkok with them? With all those steaming, spicy dishes and scary looking bowl of noodles with chicken feet…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":10424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[604],"tags":[777,771],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10316"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10316"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11654,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10316\/revisions\/11654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
