Thailand – WANDERLUST FAMILY ADVENTURE

Taste Test – Canned Tom Yum Soup

April 29, 2024 Joseph Candora Asia, Taste Test, Thailand

Tom Yum Soup is a family of hot and sour Thai soups. It is a soup that normally includes shrimp. The strong hot and sour flavors makes it very popular in Thai cuisine. I saw this canned version so decided to heat it up for Alex and I to try.

Very spicy but Alex loved the flavor and devoured the broth, the added shrimp were not his favorite but the soup itself got very high marks

Taste Test – Thai Kitchen Fried Rice

November 19, 2023 Joseph Candora Asia, Canoeing, India, Taste Test, Thailand

We gave this fried rice instant dish from Thai Kitchen a try during a quick hurried dinner one night. The instant rice is ready after a short microwaving and can be used as a ready made side dish. The shelf stable product although fully hydrated would be useful on a short canoe trip if the added weight is not an issue. It could be heated by immersing in a pot of boiling water.

An OK side dish if you are in a hurry but any homemade fried rice you would make would be much better. 5 out of 10.

Taste Test – Nutty & Fruity Dried Tangerine Wedges

October 6, 2023 Joseph Candora Asia, Taste Test, Thailand

These dried tangerine wedges are a product sourced from Thailand and produced by Food Castle Inc distributed from Vermont.

These were quite sweet as they had added cane sugar. The sugar did make them very tasty bites in moderation 8 out of 10

Taste Test – Cratejoy Treats International (Thailand)

October 5, 2023 Joseph Candora Asia, Cratejoy Treats International, Taste Test, Thailand

The Treats International subscription box this month is from Thailand. Thailand seems to be the go to country for all of this type of snack subscription box and this is the first repeat box from Treats International. I have canceled the subscription because of the repeat. The snacks from Thailand must be easy to source but are not our favorites as our scores suggest.
