Thailand’s Fantastic Food
Fantastic food is one of the many great experience you can have while on holiday in Thailand. The country is famed for its fresh and spicy foods and this article will look at a selection of these and make some must taste recommendations for anyone travelling to this wonderful country.
First up is the fantastic Moo Sa-Te. This dish is made up of grilled pork sticks covered in tasty, rich, juicy and slightly spiced turmeric sauce. They make for fantastic appetisers and are usually served with a choice of two dips, a mildly spices ground peanut and coconut mix or a sweet and sour vinegar sauce with a mix of vegetables to cut the oiliness.
If you're looking for something a little spicier than that then Som Tam. This hot and spicy papaya salad is one of the most popular dishes in Thailand, with its mix of shredded unripe papaya, yard long beans and juicy tomatoes. The dish is usually served along side delicious grilled chicken and sticky rice.
If that leaves you looking for something a little milder then some Tom Kha Kai might help cool those taste buds. It's a beautiful soup made of chicken in coconut and, although it does contain a little chilli spice, it makes for a lovely tasty but mild dish. Along with the chilli other seasoning includes Thai herbs, lime and fish sauce.
The next little treat is Gai Pad Met, a type of stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts mixed in. The dish is by no means spicy and so suitable for children and those who are not a fan of spicy dishes. The sweet taste of the chicken combined with the crunchy cashew is a beautiful mix, and one that's bound to keep you coming back for just a little more.
Now for a couple of more substantial dishes Kang Keaw Wan Gai, known as Thai Green Curry over here in the west, is a chicken dish served in a spicy green soup. The soup sauce for the curry is a mix of mild green curry chilli paste, tasty coconut milk and, as with many Thai dishes, fish sauce for seasoning. This mix tastes wonderful and compliments the chicken brilliantly.
Finally we couldn't have a list of Thai food without the national favourite, Pad Thai, the fried noodle dish that has a long history in Thailand. The dish is, as you would guess, noodle based, contains a healthy mix of vegetables and is seasoned to taste. There's also a spicier version sold by street vendors in Thailand that contains red chilli pepper so if you're not keen on hot spicy food it's worth being aware.
