The famous dishes of Thailand
Thai cuisine is worldwide famous for the harmony of flavors, which is the guiding principle behind each dish. Each Thai dish is a result of instant perfection of Western and Eastern cooking traditions.
The tremendous flavor of the masterpiece soup Tom Yum Goong combines all the four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty and spicy. The recipe of Tom Yum may differ a little from place to place, but mostly it is all the same in one bowl: shrimps, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves.

These and numerous other dishes of Thai cuisine are sold in countless street carts at any town of Thailand. A dish, which is not as easy to find as the previous ones, but also worth tasting, is Thai curry.
