Get to know magical Thailand
Thai food is famous worldwide. Whether it is chili-hot or relatively mild, each individual dish is characterized by harmony. Instead of serving one and one dish
in a specific order, all the dishes are served at the same time in Thailand.
A proper Thai meal should consist of a soup, a curry with spices and a dip with vegetables. There must be harmony in taste and consistency both in each individual dish and in the meal as a whole. The ideal Thai meal is a harmonious blend of sharp and delicate, sweet and sour, and is meant to be equally satisfying to the eye, nose and palate.
Thai food is eaten with a spoon and fork. The vegetables are cut into suitable mouthfuls, and the meat is shredded. The knife is therefore redundant as an eating utensil.
Thailand has borrowed a bit from many of the neighboring countries and has become an exciting cuisine. Most dishes consist of vegetables, chicken, fish, shellfish, fruit, rice and many herbs. Then seasoned with chilli, lime, lemongrass, ginger, lime leaves, coriander, sweet basil and bamboo shoots that grow in the country. You're welcome, or "ar-roy", as they say in Thailand.
Thai food consists of many different dishes from the various regions, and there are regional differences in both taste and ingredients:
