In Thai cooking there are four flavours: sour, sweet, creamy and salty. Heat sits on top of the four flavours. The secret of a good dish is the right balance of the flavours -- you will find that there are “sweet spots” where the flavour just tastes right.

Thai cuisine is a mixture of Chinese, Indian and Malaysian cuisine. Since Thais are very flexible they have adopted various dishes of these cuisines and added some new ingredients to create a typical Thai cuisine.

For a Thai menu, put everything on the table at once and get everyone to help themselves. The dishes should be balanced between spicy, sweet, sour and salty. The most important dish is the rice which is placed in the middle of the table. The dishes are not served mixed on plates, you take one or two dishes at a time. Eat with a fork and spoon. Take the spoon in the right hand and push food onto the spoon with the fork in the left hand.
