My second favorite cuisine, places the emphasis on bold aromatic tastes. Thai cuisine is very rich and healthy. I love the perfect balance between salty, sweet, bitter and sour.

Me and thai food, love at first sight! Who doesn’t fall for these colorful flavorful dishes!

You can never find two identical recipes for this dish. Everyone makes it with a little twist. You can add 1 tsp of white vinegar, or fish sauce, or brown sugar… infinite add-ons, am sure each one takes it to another different dimension!
