TIP THAI RESTAURANT

For the Thai people, eating is always a time for enjoyment. Food is separated into savory course and a sweet course. A traditional Thai meal includes variety dishes, which are served as soon as they cooked. Streamed rice is generally served with a clear soup, fried dish, a salad and a spicy sauce. Condiments usually include crushed dried chili, chopped fresh chili, pickled garlic, cucumber, tomatoes and scallions. Once the main course has been finished, fresh fruits and a dessert are usually served. Desserts in Thailand are normally based on fruit, such as coconuts and rice or flour; they are often very sweet with a delicate, scented flavor... The most important ingredient in Thai cooking is rice. In fact when people are called to the table, the phrase used-gkin kao-literally translates as " a time to eat rice". All of the other foods that makes up a meal-meats, fish and vegetables-are regarded as accompaniments and are referred to as ghap kao or "things eaten with rice"
