Enjoy Thai Food

How wise am I to have chosen Singapore! The food here is so nice that I haven’t found anything that I don’t like (except laksa). Frankly, I’m still full from today’s lunch even though I haven’t had dinner. Actually, this is the first time I had tasted Thai food and it impresses me a lot. So, thank you Mrs Yap! I even forgot to say after we finished our food. Sorry!
I really enjoyed the meal, although I didn’t know even one name of the dishes. I liked the soup best. The sourness spiced up my every taste bud. The meat in it was soft and tasty. It was all wonderful to me except for the strong taste of something like ginger. The pomelo with chili and onion was special, too. In china, we only have pomelo as a kind of fruit and not very often that we eat it. So I was a little surprised at first when it was served as a dish. Rice is common for Asian. But the way they cook and the ingredient they use may differ a lot from each other. In china, at least in the northern part, we never fry it with pineapple, let alone hold it in pineapple shells. It was a pity that I hadn’t taste the authentic one. But there would be an opportunity, I suppose, when I’m not so down and out.
Cuisine, to some extent, reflects culture and regional characters. It seems that the Thai love to put many kinds of spices in their dishes. It maybe because that they endow the tropical climate and there is varieties of flora. What’s more, they can proficiently make full use of every kind of ingredient in their cuisine, making it delicious and special.
I felt lucky when I heard that we were going to have Thai food last week; because I am going to Thailand this summer holiday with my roommate. Unfortunately, the situation there now is not so cheerful. Nearly every morning I can read the affairs about the revolt of the Red-shirt Army. However, today’s meal can be somewhat compensation if I really can’t go there in July.

  2. It's interesting to me that almost all of Mrs.Yap's mentees picked Thai food as their topic of blog. Did you make a deal? Anyway, the introduction is very detailed and attractive. I believe it must be very special and worth a try!

  6. Thai cuisine travels very well. It can be found in all major cities. I am glad you enjoyed it. About going to Thailand this July, it does not seem to be a good idea. Perhaps later when all is calm.
