All meals at anytime
Thai people tend to not differentiate between their meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. While there are certain dishes that are enjoyed in the mornings, most dishes can be eaten at any time of the day.
Thai soups
Thai soup is part of the main meal, not normally a starter. They’re filling enough in themselves, but sometimes people order rice on the side. With rice or without, either is OK.
Not everything is spicy
While many Thai dishes are incredibly spicy, there are plenty of dishes that aren’t. This does not make the dish any less “Thai”. Let’s try our Pad Thai, Massaman curry, Pad See Ew, Thai fried rice etc.
Not only healthy but also tasty!
Thai food has a reputation for beneficially affecting well-being and health. Being so heavily composed of herbal ingredients, it is essentially a cuisine of natural medicine.
Nothing is baked
Thai food is simply not baked; it is just not a thing when it comes to Thai cooking. It is all about boil, woks, grill and frying pans. In fact, many households in the country do not have an oven (and feel that they have no need for one).
Dishes are region-specific
Many dishes are created via specific recipes handed down by generations in certain areas. If you have a dish you adore in southern Thailand, you will probably struggle to find it in northern Thailand.
All dishes are shared as part of a happy
Sharing communal dishes is common throughout Asian food culture. Thai people share dishes with friends and family. Almost meals are usually shared with each diner using either a serving spoon.
Origin of Pad Thai
In 1930s, the stir-fried noodle dish was invented by the Thai government. The campaign included changing the country’s name from Siam to Thailand, commissioning a new national anthem, and creating a national dish — Pad Thai.
