Enjoy Thai Fine Dining in Bangkok
Thai cuisine, particularly Thai street food, has taken the world by storm. But Thai cuisine is about much more than just street food. Thai, fine dining would be just as popular if more people were able to experience it.
Thai street food has undoubtedly grabbed the attention of the world for a reason. Not only is it quick to prepare, but it offers complex flavours and textures for little money. And Bangkok is the mecca for Thai street food. Anyone who visits the city and doesn’t take advantage of all the available street food hasn’t really experienced a visit to Bangkok in the fullest sense.
The variety and quality of street food has increased tourism and made Bangkok the most visited city on the planet.
Another Side to Thai Cuisine
As delicious as Thai street food is, what do you think it would taste like if the chefs took a little more time and care with the ingredients and preparation of this food? Street food is meant to be a cheap and quick meal. But there is another side to Thai cuisine besides cheap and quick.
To discover the other side of the coin in Thai cuisine, you really should make a point of visiting a Thai, fine dining restaurant on your visit to Bangkok as well.
When you enter a Thai, fine dining restaurant, one of the first things you’ll notice is the presence of wine glasses on the tables. This is because Thai cuisine is excellent when paired with good wines. It would be best if you made ordering a glass of wine part of your experience in tasting Thai food that’s several levels above street food.
Exploring the Different Regions of Thailand
Dining in a quality Thai cuisine restaurant is also embarking on a tour of the various regional dishes and variety offered by different areas of Thailand.
You may be surprised to learn that Thai cuisine also has different dishes according to the time of year. This is because freshness is an essential part of the cuisine, and certain ingredients are only available at certain times of the year.
To bring out the vibrant flavours of the specific dish, many Thai, fine dining restaurants in Bangkok only feature these dishes when the vegetables and fruits used in them are at the peak of flavour and freshness.
Try New Tastes and Flavours
A visit to a Thai, fine dining restaurant is also a golden opportunity to expand your palate and knowledge of Thai cuisine. Don’t stick to ordering only what you’ve had before. You’re in the best city in the world to experience the finest in Thai cuisine. Explore the menu and order from a tasting menu if they have one. Many of the best Thai cuisine restaurants in the city do offer a tasting menu as an option.
You’re sure to discover an entirely new world of exquisite flavours, textures and aromas. This world will transport you way beyond the experience of yet another dish of Pad Thai or bowl of Tom Yam Kung. You’ll begin to appreciate the Thai cuisine that’s a part of Thai history as well.
