THAI-CHOICE

Rice is a staple component of Thai cuisine, as it is of most Asian cuisines and it is eaten at every meal. Thailand is world-famous for its Jasmine Rice and is known as the Rice bowl of Asia. Steamed rice is accompanied by highly aromatic curries, stir-frys and other dishes, incorporating sometimes large quantities of chillies, lime juice and lemon grass. Curries, stir-frys and others may be poured onto the rice creating a single dish called khao rad gang, a popular meal when time is limited. Noodles, known throughout parts of Southeast Asia by the Chinese name kwai teaw, are popular as well but usually come as a single dish, like the stir-fried Pad Thai or noodle soups. Noodle dishes are often eaten like snacks in Thailand.
