The
Traditional way to eat Thai food is to share several different
dishes at same time, enabling each dinner to discover al many
different flavors as possible. One spoonful of one dish at a time,
ladled onto a plate of steaming fragrant rice (Khao Plow), helps
to keep the flavors distinct, while a sip of Chinese tea (Cha Jin)
in between mouthfuls helps to prepare the taste buds for the next
exhilarating experience.

Thai
food
Thai food is
internationally famous. Whether chili-hot or comparatively bland,
harmony is the guiding principle behind each dish. Thai cuisine is
essentially a marriage of centuries-old Eastern and Western
influences harmoniously combined into something uniquely Thai. The
characteristics of Thai food depend on who cooks it, for whom it
is cooked, for what occasion, and where it is cooked to suit all
palates. Originally, Thai cooking reflected the characteristics of
a waterborne lifestyle. Aquatic animals, plants and herbs were
major ingredients. Large chunks of meat were eschewed. Subsequent
influences introduced the use of sizeable chunks to Thai cooking.
With their Buddhist background, Thais shunned the use of large
animals in big chunks. Big cuts of meat were shredded and laced
with herbs and spices. Traditional Thai cooking methods were
stewing and baking, or grilling. Chinese influences saw the
introduction of frying, stir frying and deep-frying. Culinary
influences from the 17th century onwards included Portuguese,
Dutch, French and Japanese. Chilies were introduced to Thai
 cooking
during the late 1600s by Portuguese missionaries who had acquired
a taste for them while serving in South America.
Thais were very adapt at 'Siamese-icing' foreign cooking methods,
and substituting ingredients. The ghee used in Indian cooking was
replaced by coconut oil, and coconut milk substituted for other
daily products. Overpowering pure spices were toned down and
enhanced by fresh herbs such as lemon grass and galangal.
Eventually, fewer and less spices were used in Thai curries, while
the use of fresh herbs increased. It is generally acknowledged
that Thai curries burn intensely, but briefly, whereas other
curries, with strong spices, burn for longer periods. Instead of
serving dishes in courses, a Thai meal is served all at once,
permitting dinners to enjoy complementary combinations of
different tastes.
A
proper Thai meal should consist of a soup, a curry dish with
condiments, a dip with accompanying fish and vegetables. A spiced
salad may replace the curry dish. The soup can also be spicy, but
the curry should be replaced by non spiced items.
There must be a
harmony of tastes and textures within individual dishes and the
entire meal.
Thai
Desserts
Thai desserts
are totally different to western desserts. Also they are sweet but
made mainly from fruits or rice with a flowery taste. for some
example

Thai Fruits
Thailand's rich soil yields an extraordinary variety of fruits
including more than two dozen kinds of bananas and of course the
pungent durian! No matter when you come to Thailand, or whatever
part of the country you visit, you'll
find fresh fruit vendors on every street and the wide choice of
fruits available is sure to be a memorable part of your
experience.

Thai Herbs
Almost
all Thai food is cooked with herbs and usually spicy. Mainly used
are garlic, chili, lemon grass and coriander -or basil leafs. And
of course plenty of lime juice and fish sauce. Many herbs and
spices used in Thai cuisine have beneficial medicinal properties.
