| Thai Cuisine |
Thai food is internationally famous. Whether
chilli-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. >> |
