Thai Food.







For lovers of good food, Thailand is a veritable paradise. Every major cuisine is represented in some of the world's finest restaurants at unbelievably reasonable prices. The Thai cuisine offers a huge variety of mouthwatering dishes but for the first
-time visitor to make a choice without any guidance might pose quite a problem.

The ideal traditional Thai meal aims at being a harmonious blend of the spicy, the subtle, the sweet and the sour, and is meant to be satisfying to the eye, nose, and palate.
Dished include steamed rice, accompanied by a clear soup (bitter melons stuffed with minced pork), a steamed dish (seafood in curry sauce), a fried dish (fried fish with garlic and pepper), a hot salad (beef slices on a bed of letteuce, chillies, onions, mint
Lemon juice and fish sauce), and a variety of sauces, including the essential salt substitute, mapla (fish sauce), into which food can be dipped. This is normally followed by a sweet dessert (lotus seeds in syrup and crushed ice, for example), and finally, fresh fruit (like mangoes, duriam, jackfruit, papaya, watermelon, pineapple, and more) of which Thailand boasts an abundant year-round supply.

Food varies from region to region. Often there are modifications to standard dishes, and frequently there are local specialties, In Chiang Mi for example, thefood is generally milder than enjoyed in the central plains.Naem, a chili-filled pork sausage, is a northern delicacy.




Northeastern food is mostly very spice with explosive salads and special broiled,
Minced meat dishes mixed with miniature throat-savaging chilies.

Southern cuisine makes delicious use of the creatures which beam in the nearby sea.Lobsters, crabs, scallops.fish and squid are common ingredients, and exotic dished like jellyfish salads can be found.
