THAI FOOD!!! 
Ohhhh...you mean FISH food, hehe.
I use Omega One goldfish flakes and Super Color flakes mostly as a staple, with the San Francisco Bay brand Freshwater Multi-Pack frozen food and occasionally Hikari Micro Pellets for the white clouds and betta. They also like those flightless fruit flies too. My goldfish also get oranges, peas, spinach and mustard greens. Once I gave them some fried chicken just to see if they would eat it. They did.

Mostly using foods from the Hagen Nutrafin range these days after my fish responded well when I tried their micro granules. They seem to be quite fond of Hagen's food and have been growing well on it, so that's good enough for me. Wardley's shrimp pellets have always been on hand also, my corys and loaches love them. I generally supplement with live or frozen mosquito larvae and some vegetables.
I don't "prefer" any single brand or food, I rotate through at least 4-6 brands and preparations for all the tanks that get prepared foods. Those are also supplemented with live and frozen. I don't count on anything being complete, but rely of the variety to balance out their nutrition. That said, the brands that I use of prepared foods are Tetra, Hikari, and Omega.
29 gallon -
Tetramin Tropical Crisps - Everyone loves these #1
Bio-Blend Tropical - Least popular with the fish but I have to use it, spent to
much for it.
Bio-Blend Bottom Feeders (Cories eat this once the algae wafers are gone)
Hikari Algae Wafers - A cory favorite, pretty popular with others also
Hikari Blood Worms - The cories favorite if they ever make it to the bottom.
One cory even leaves the bottom to dine with the other fish.
Live Brine shrimp - Popular with all
10 Gallon F-8 Puffer - Snails, Brine Shrimp, ghost shrimp. Gave up on dry food
Oops, forgot the new Betta - Hikari Betta food

Any prepared foods I can get for free to add as supliments. Mostly live and fresh foods, though.
However, I do prefer Wardley's Algae tabs as they provide a higher concentration of spirulina than all the other algae tabs. Read the ingredients; whatever is listed first is the main ingredient. Others usually list fish meal as their first ingredient. Therefore, your plecs would be getting protein instead of the greens that fresh foods provide.
