About Thai Food Thai cuisine places emphasis on lightly-prepared dishes with strong aromatic components. Thai cuisine is known as being spicy. Balance, detail and variety are very important. Thai dishes are known for their balance of the five fundamental taste senses: hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and (optional) bitter. Thai meal typically consist of either a single dish or rice (Khao in Thai) with many complimentary dishes served together and shared by all as they would in a family. It is customary to serve more dishes than there are guests as a table.

Rice Rice is a staple grain of Thai cuisine, as in most Asian cuisines. The highly prized, sweet-smelling jasmine rice is indigenous to Thailand. This naturally aromatic long-grained rice grows in abundance in the verdant patchwork of paddy fields that blanket Thailand’s central plains. Steamed rice is accompanied by highly aromatic curries, stir-fries and other dishes, sometimes incorporating large quantities of chilli peppers, lime juice and lemon grass. Curries, stir-fries and similar maybe poured onto the rice creating a single dish called ‘’Khao rat kaeng’’ a popular meal when time is limited.
