Pescator Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Don`t mean to nitpick here - and then I go on and do just that - but smoked fish is Plaa Lom Kwan. Plaa Pao is more like fish prepared on open fire. cheers hn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 snakey what is the difference between pao and yang? both "grilled", "barbecued" isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 checked a few dictionaries: grill - yang, ping pao = burn (and cremate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 phao is what happens when you set light to something. Then it burns which is 'mai'. Hence the famous Thai expression...mai mai mai mai? New wood burns right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Come to think of it that should be 'mai mai mai mai mai?' New wood doesn't burn does it? It's a good one for practicing tones. Or getting a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 If there is a difference between Yang and Ping I am definitely not aware of it. Then again Toasted Bread is invariably Khanom Bang Ping, grilled chicken usually Gai Yang and roasted? coconut (while it is still in it`s shell) Mapraow Pao. cheers hn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chlp Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 It is my impression as well that it's just a matter of usage. In addition to the examples above, slices of grilled pork (satay) are called Moo Ping, whereas grilled shrimp is Gung Pao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Probably regional too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 slices of grilled pork (satay) To avoid misunderstandings note that any meat (beef, chicken, shrimp...) grilled on skewers is called satay, before it was a open fire but also frying pans are used.

BJ_Blackowitz Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 and satay is actualy a word from Malesia or even Indonesia ( and very common in holland as well) and spelled sateh or sate satay gai , satay Moo, etc etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
