Thai Gold

Thai food is a gorgeous melange of flavours from transnational interactions dating back to the time of the Dvaravati Kingdom in the 7th century. In the 15th century, Khmer cooks introduced Indian food patterns and in the 16th century, the Portuguese introduced chillies to traditional curry paste. Combined with nam pla, galangal and kaffir lime, a distinctive aromatic taste developed.
