THE ZESTY EXCITEMENT OF...THAI CUISINE

The smells, sights and sounds of Thailand are a wonder to behold. Invigorating, exciting and full of life, much like their food, which, unlike other parts of Asia, is characterised by its lighter, fresher and sweeter flavours that delight the senses no matter how simple the dish.

TASTE OF THAILAND

In Thailand, rice is not a mere side — its the central dish you eat everything else around. In fact, at Thai dinner tables you tend to eat more rice than anything else, especially perfectly sticky white grains.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Thai bring a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘family style’. They often eat together from a single large bowl with a few sides, and everyone is encouraged to try each dish.


Songkran is a festival that celebrates Thai New Year in April. Water plays a huge part with cleaning rituals to wash away bad luck and welcome good fortune and prosperity.

Limes

Used for their juice, peel and leaves, limes are essential to giving Thai and Vietnamese dishes that signature punchy zest. Little tip: roll out your limes on a hard surface before slicing and squeezing them to get the most out of them.

Each variety brings something different so choosing the right type of rice for your dish is important. Your meals deserve the best, so let’s take it to the next level and create authentic plates that impress.
