Thai Curry Debate
Hi everyone, Do you think Thai curries are supposed to be thick or thin? Traditionally speaking..
For some context, I work at a Thai restaurant, and a customer ordered our yellow curry. It's one of our best-selling curries, and I actually recommended it to him. So, I served him the dish, and he told me that the curry looked like soup instead of it being thick. I informed him that Thai curries aren't typically supposed to be overly-thick, and it's usually thin. He went on a rant telling me how Thai curries are supposed to be thick. The customers who have complained to me are typically people who aren't Thai.
At first, I thought I must have been misinformed my whole life. As a Thai woman who has eaten Thai food my whole life and eaten in multiple Thai restaurants, I don't know my curries. I haven't eaten out to a Thai restaurant in a while now since I started working there, but the consistency is the same as many other restaurants I've eaten at. It's in-between thick and thin but leans to thinner. I've also noticed over time that cocount milk has become more and more watery.
So, I just wanted to know what you all think, assuming this sub reddit is about Thai food, so I assume the people in this reddit know know about Thai food and enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks! :)
