Phanaeng or Panaeng?

[edit]

Which is it? The title says Phanaeng but in the text it's Panaeng.-Dezwitser (talk) 19:25, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is “พะแนง”. Whether you transcribe it as “Phanaeng” or “Panaeng” depends on your system of phonetic transcription. Danwe (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The convention at WP-English is to use RTGS transcription for Thai exclusively, thus "phanaeng". Seligne (talk) 07:29, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Thai curry paste company Mae Ploy refers to this variant as 'Panang' in its English labelling, as do most Thai restaurants, at least in the UK. This may not be a correct transliteration, but WP:COMMONNAME may apply here. --Ef80 (talk) 18:24, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beef merge

[edit]

I think beef panang should be merged into Phanaeng curry, and Phanaeng curry should remain. I have seen many types of Panang curries, not just beef.--Nessie (talk) 20:54, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Phanaeng beef is "popular"?

[edit]

I find the statement "A popular phanaeng curry dish is beef phanaeng" rather incredulous. I've lived in Thailand ten years, and never once saw phanaeng beef on a menu. In fact, beef itself is not particularly popular in Thailand. Mostly I see beef offered in sun-dried form and gaeng paa (jungle curry). However, every restaurant I've been to that serves a phanaeng curry, offers it with chicken. FoodFace (talk) 09:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i have the same experience in Thailand. The beef version seems mainly to be popular outside of Thailand. - Takeaway (talk) 11:51, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
indeed, and I find the claim that Phanaeng is named an island in Malaysia that is pronounced completely differently a total myth that I have researched and cannot find any proof of other than the repeated/copied claims that all trace back to a single source. Penang is pronounced more like "peh nahng" -- completely different vowel sounds than "puh-nayng" (phanaeng)..

I eat beef phanaeng almost every week in Bangkok. I used to eat it almost every day when I visited Nakorn Sri Thammarat 30 years ago. I suppose one in the photo was beef phanaeng. Vee (talk) 15:34, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

Should probably be just Phanaeng. "Curry" seems redundant, especially since there isn't a native English term for the dish. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:38, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
