When the flavours of sweet, sour, salty and tangy are balanced and when used cleverly in Thai cooking, you can feel you taste bud dance. Eating Thai style is to be served all the dishes at the same time in the center of the table – no entrée/main course/dessert here. Rice is an integral part of every meal, along with soup, a couple of curries and side dishes. Thai people eat with a spoon and fork and use the fork to push the food onto the spoon; the fork is never used to actually eat with.
