Thai food is known for its interesting and creative mingling of flavors, with spicy curry pastes mixed with cooling coconut milk, crunchy peanuts atop chewy noodles, grilled meats for dipping into sticky peanut sauces. For the adventurous palate, it's a wonderful cuisine to try. Unfortunately, anything with coconut milk (though not necessarily a "bad" fat) is going to have a fair amount of fat in it, especially the curries and soups. Tom kha goong (coconut shrimp soup) can carry up to almost 2 days' worth of saturated fat, and it's often served as a simple appetizer. Stick with the fresh spring rolls, if you're watching your weight.
