Everyone knows that Thai Cuisine is one of the best cuisines you can come across in the world, and if you are heading to Thailand here are five of the best dishes you should definitely try out.
Noodle Soup is commonly known as Guay Teow in Thailand and can be found at restaurants in Pathumwan Princess Hotel, high-end restaurants that serve authentic Thai food, and even at street food shops. If you have travelled East Asia you have likely come across many types of Noodle Soup but the Thai version is different than the other versions as some unique ingredients are added to the dish. While you are allowed to customise it as per your taste. The authentic Guay Teow is rarely available in vegetarian options but you can find it with chicken, pork, beef, egg, and even seafood. This dish is one of the dishes in Thai Cuisine that has a combination of so many different types of meat.
Similar to how you would go and look for the best café in Bangkok to find a coffee you love you should try out as many restaurants as possible and find the place that serves the best Spicy Shrimp Soup too as it is one of the best seafood soups in Thai Cuisine. If you love spicy food you will love this soup which comes with a thin broth and a lot of yummy chewy seafood and vegetables to bit into. Tom Yum Goong which is the Spicy Shrimp Salad is a must-try dish especially if you love spicy food.
Tom Khai Gai is a delightful soup that will fill your stomach and your heart at the same time as it is a wholesome dish. The dish has a slight sweetness to it because of the coconut milk that is infused with the cream which builds a thick base for the soup. The diced chicken which is either steamed or boiled is added with some vegetables such as potatoes to this soup dish. It can also be customised to a vegetarian's requirements leaving out any meat and adding just the vegetables without compromising on the flavours.
The Green Papaya Salad which is known as Som Tam is a very popular Thai dish and is loved by many. This dish is eaten with rice and other side dishes and adds a zesty taste to complement your meal. Only green papaya which is unripe papaya is used for this dish and mixed with a variety of other ingredients such as tomatoes, tamarind pulp, carrots, peanuts, bean sprouts, and lime juice. Depending on the request some restaurants add prawns, cuttlefish, and even small pieces of fish to the Som Tam to make it more flavourful and exciting.
Salads are rather common in Thailand and the best part about the salads is that there are so many fresh ingredients used in them. There are many different variations of each salad and this particular salad which is known as Yam Talay is a spicy salad that has several seafood ingredients such as fish, prawns, and other delights. This can be eaten with rice and other curries or as an entre.
