ABOUT ROYAL THAI CUISINE

One of the most important aspects of Thailand’s cultural heritage, Royal Thai Cuisine differs quite markedly from what is normally eaten in everyday life in Thailand.

Of the many differences between the two, perhaps the most significant is the meticulous attention to every step of selection, preparation, cooking, and presentation of the food. This means that meats and seafoods are deboned, thoroughly cleaned and neatly cut before cooking, and vegetables are finely sliced and cut into perfectly bit-sized pieces. This attention to detail is carried through in the arrangement and presentation of the food on the plate. There is a belief that dining like royalty, one benefits from all the harmony and blessings that comes from consuming such regal treats.
