April 29, 2025

If you want to order Northern Thai food like a pro without looking out of place, it all starts with understanding the local eating customs!

Northern Thai meals typically feature sticky rice as the main staple, along with a variety of side dishes. Here's how to order like a local:

  • Start with Nam Prik Num (Northern Thai Green Chili Dip) and Crispy Pork Skin, or Nam Prik Ong (Northern Thai Tomato Chili Dip).
  • Then, order a main dish like Khao Soi Gai (Chicken Khao Soi) or Hang Lay Curry.
  • Don’t forget to add a side dish such as Laab Kua (Northern Stir-Fried Meat Salad) or Tam Khanun (Jackfruit Salad).
  • End the meal with some fresh fruits or traditional desserts.

Come to Eatter Restaurant and simply tell the staff, "I’d like the complete Northern Thai set." You’re guaranteed to get a table full of authentic Lanna flavors, just like the locals enjoy!
