Thai Food
Spicy, Succulent & Irresistible
Tom Yum Goong
This spicy shrimp soup is a mouth-watering dish that entices you with just its smell. Lemongrass, chilli, galangal, lime leaves, shallots, lime juice and fish sauce comes together to bring you this heavenly comfort food perfect for a rainy day.
Som Tum
Hailing from Isaan in Thailand, this spicy papaya salad is perfect on a brunch menu and adding dry shrimp or salted crab to the salad makes it taste monumental.
Pad Thai
Thai style fried noodles are what is known as around the world and this is the food that comes to mind first when you think of Thai cuisine too. Almost every restaurant in Thailand has this dish, and restaurants in Sukhumvit are known to specialise in this dish.
Gaeng Daeng
A red curry made up of meat, curry paste, coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves, this succulent curry is by far the best example of authentic Thai cuisine. Any major hotel in Bangkok will serve this truly Thai dish, for example, the Emporium Suites by Chatrium.
Pad Krapow Moo Saap
This dish has it all on one plate, fresh basil, pork, chilli, green beans, soy sauce and some sugar. The minced pork is succulent and when eaten with the white rice in the dish, makes for a deliciously filling meal that can be eaten for either lunch or dinner.
