  Kasma's Best Brands of Thai Food

Chao Koh Coconut MilkTo create great Thai food, start with the very best ingredients. The brands listed here are the brands that Thai cooking instructor and cookbook author Kasma Loha-unchit uses in her own cooking because she finds she gets better food with them:

Mae Ploy Green Curry PasteCoconut milk (gkati) Mae Ploy(19 oz) and Chaokoh (14 oz). Mae Ploy is very rich and creamy, Chaokoh has a delicate, sweet, natural flavor. Have a coconut milk taste session sometime and discover the vast differences in different brands. Shop for Mae Ploy & Chaokoh Coconut Milk.

Curry paste (gkaeng ped) Mae Ploy brand. These curry pastes in the plastic containers are far superior to anything Kasma has found in a can: the taste is fresher and cleaner. Shop for Mae Ploy Curry Pastes.

Golden Boy Fish SauceFish Sauce(nahm bplah) Good fish sauce has a pleasant aroma of the sea, not an overwhelming smelly fishiness, and it should not be overly salty. One of my favorite brands is Golden Boy. Three Crabs Brand is not recommended. Shop for Golden Boy Fish Sauce.
