A Life Between Two Countries, And All In Between

Why Does A Tiger Cry? ทำไม เสือ ร้องไห้ 

 

Why cry lah?

A dish named ‘sua rong hai‘ (เสือ ร้องไห้). In Thai language, Sua means Tiger, Rong Hai means crying or weeping. Hence, “Crying Tiger”.

No one knows why, and everyone has their own interpretations.

Because it’s starving, same as me now.

Because you are eating it and the tiger has no chance, that’s why lah.

I guess it is the chilli, making even the tiger cried as it is chilli hot (spicy).

Because there is a lot of marbling; more fatty, which causes oil to splash during cooking process … hence,  a crying tiger.

Because it’s so good, and mankind finished it. The tiger cried because didn’t get a chance to use it

I think:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s MY darn-good-fingerlicking-licious grilled beef , and the tiger can cry if he wants to, cry if he wants to. I would cry to if the grilled beef belonged to the tiger.


Why, do you reckon? What’s your theory?

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
