Thinking of family meals? In Thailand, they love green papaya salads, juicy chicken (both Thai and Korean style) and bowls of hot tom yum soup. What are your family favourites? Order them on foodpanda.

1. Somtum: Thai Green Papaya Salad

Somtum, widely known as Green Papaya Salad across the world, is a salad unlike any other. Like all distinctive Thai food, it is salty, sweet, spicy, sour and bitter all at the same time. The main ingredient is, you guessed it, sliced green papaya which gives it its crunchy texture. They are then tossed together with salad dressing that’s made by pounding ingredients such as sweet palm sugar, garlic, chillies, dried prawns, tomatoes and peanuts. This amalgamation of flavours will open your palette and whet your family’s appetite for the main meal so make sure you get it as a starter when you order on foodpanda!

2. Korean Fried Chicken

Quite possibly one of the best fried chicken in the Asia-Pacific, the Korean Fried Chicken is a beast of a dish. The wings are dusted with potato or corn starch, and double fried to create an impossibly crisp exterior. They are then lightly tossed in a sweet, spicy and garlicky glaze while they are still hot, and this allows the glaze to caramelize on the chicken while maintaining its crisp. This combination of savory, sweet, sticky, spicy and crispy ensures that plates will be wiped clean, bellies satisfied and wide smiles on your family’s faces. Get a bucket of these on foodpanda. 

3. Tom Yum Kung

One of the most famous and beautiful Thai dishes worldwide, Tom Yum Kung is a clear, sour and spicy soup that has the bright flavours of fragrant lemongrass, fresh galangal root and kaffir lime leaf, and the sweetness of shrimp. Not only is this dish incredibly tasty and addictive, Tom Yum Kung is also known to have medicinal properties: it boosts your immune system, elevates headaches and relieves excessive gas. Make sure that you order in more than one serving per family member because this dish will make them come back for seconds, thirds and fourths!

4. Pizza

If there is one dish that transcends age, gender and borders, it's pizza! What are your favourite pizza toppings? Some love ham and pineapples. Others, a classic cheese and tomato. Well, the next time you are looking for a quick yummy order-in to satisfy the entire family, get some satisfying pizzas on foodpanda! It's perfect for a lazy night-in and keeps extremely well as leftovers for the next day too. 

5. Thai-Style Grilled Chicken

The Thai-style grilled chicken, or Gai Yang delivers big on flavour. Firstly, the street-food snack is slathered with a well-balanced and savoury marinate of lemongrass, cilantro, coriander, fish sauce and more Thai flavours. Secondly, the incredible smokiness that comes from grilling over hot coal makes it hard to replicate at home. Throughout Thailand, you will find Gai Yang prepared with different cuts of chicken, including skewers, or thigh and breast. If you are feeding a hungry family, we recommend that you order in a whole chicken (or two!) on foodpanda. Yummy yum yum!

6. Soft Drinks

All that Thai food can make you sweat! So get a table of your family's favourite soft drinks for that instant chilled effect after spicy tom yum soups, red hot Thai curries, and all those punchy chilli padis. Order a selection of soft drinks on foodpanda to complement all your meals.
