How Does Thai Food Differ from Other Asian
Cuisines?

Needless to mention that it is the ingredients
and the method of preparation that makes food
different. But apart from these two, the unique
culinary style is something that sets Thai food
apart from other Asian Cuisines. Let me tell you
one interesting thing and that is if you are
craving Thai food, it means you are definitely
wanting to have something healthy. The
researchers have declared Thai food as the
healthiest food. The reason lies in its cooking.
Thai food is lightly cooked, which prevents all
the nutrients from burning. So, if you are in
Hong Kong and craving Thai or Indian, or
Vietnamese food, come only to Mint and Basil, the
Best Pan-Asian restaurant in Hong Kong. Here,
you will get everything that your heart will
crave. Just an addition, Mint and Basil also
serves the best, luxury cocktails, mocktails,
wines, and soft drinks. Well, to a foodie, every
kind of food is special. But if you want to try
something that is unique in its presentation,
style, and appearance without compromising on
the taste, then Thai food is likely to be the
exact of what you are looking forward to. Thai
dishes are complicated because they are made by
using many ingredients at a time. But it is the
presentation that makes it look simple. While
the chefs at Mint and Basil, the Best Thai
restaurant in Hong Kong cook Thai food keeping
just one goal in mind and that is to maintain
the taste and the health quotient.

Thai Food and Spices Go Hand in Hand
Spices can enhance the flavor of any dish. Not
only does Thai food is heavy on the spices that
make the taste pungent, but it also includes
spices that add sweetness to the food.

Thai Uses Curry
Thai food includes curry in its dishes that you
may think it resembles Indian curry but the
taste is definitely not the same. The difference
between Thai curry and Indian curry is that
former uses coconut milk as a base and in the
latter, people use butter, oil, ghee, and
veggies sorted until those get golden brown
hue. Thai food is often combined with onions,
shrimps, spices, and other flavors.

The Thai Table
When you are eating Thai, either in a restaurant
or on the streets, the Thai Table is a place
meant for sharing. If you are enjoying Thai food
on the streets, you may suffice yourself with a
single dish but in a restaurant, it is common to
order a variety of dishes at a time. For
instance, at Mint and Basil, the best Thai
restaurant in Hong Kong, you can order anything
from soups, salads, stir-fried veggies, and even
the drinks of choice. Explore the menu and see
the wonderful delicious options. The table is
set with food, plates, forks and spoons. Bowls
are used for soups and each dish is sampled with
a serving of rice. Although, this is not the case
in the North and Northeast, however, glutinous
or sticky rice is usually eaten with the right
hand. Rice is served on demand, on the basis of
all-you-can-eat. You will always see a mix of
spicy and mild dishes. Thai curries and spicy
Thai dishes are usually served with vegetables,
either raw or boiled, herbs, wild plants. These
are served with spicy food because these dampen
the fieriness of the chiles in the mouth. This is
how Thai cuisines manage to strike a balance
between hot, sour and sweet flavors. Exactly,
this is what makes Thai food a mixture of
different textures, flavors, and irresistible,
lingering freshness.

Thai Presentation and Décor

• Decoration also plays an important role at the
  Thai table. Fruits, vegetables that are served
  on Thai table are often carved into presentable
  shapes. These are served with a dipping sauce.
• The shapes are created with the help of paring
  knives. Sticky rice is traditionally served in a
  woven bamboo basket because not only does it
  looks attractive but is also functional as it
  helps in retaining heat.
• Other delicacies are served wrapped in or placed
  on a banana leaf like candied sugar palm fruit.
• Not just this, Thai desserts are also presented
  in a decorative manner.
