A Touch of Thai
There is a Kosher Thai restaurant in Beverly Hills on Olympic and
LaPeer called, "A Touch of Thai." It is owned by Edmond and Peggy Guenoun. They
opened in May of 1993 right after Passover. Edmond explains that he opened a Kosher Thai
restaurant because Thai cuisine in the last few years was becoming very popular among the
yuppie crowd and the .30" something - that was and still is his marketing objective..
Besides, being the only kosher Thai restaurant in the U.S.A. was an added incentive!
Kosher & Non-Kosher Thai Food
What is the difference between kosher and treif (non-kosher) Thai
food? The popular and well known dishes are, Pad Thai which comes with shrimp, squid
salad, sweet and sour pork and BBQ ribs which are made out of pork. We do not eat shrimp,
lobster, scallops, squid, oyster, lard, ham or pork (wonton) dishes because these animals
are not kosher.
By the way, you probably think coconut milk soup which is a very
popular soup dish is made out of milk but it isn't!!! It is the juice of a coconut which
is a fruit so it is pareve, can be eaten with milk or meat.
They have Pad Thai with a choice of chicken or beef. There are a lot of
chicken, beef and vegetable dishes that you can pick from the menu.
