A Historical Background Of Thai Cuisine Las Vegas

By Stephen Walker


Thai cuisine is such a brilliant complex meal. It has such a remarkable balance of tastes embodied in it. One gets the sour, sweet, and bitter taste all at once. The unique taste is usually as a result of a blend of many exotic ingredients that give it the spicy edge. Thai cuisine Las Vegas is also full of aromatic flavours.

Luckily the meal does not have to wait for a particular even or guests for people to enjoy it. It is good to go any day, time, anywhere. Originally due to the location of Thai; it was prepared using the sea ingredients. That encompassed the sea fish, herbs and the plants. Due to the many years that have passed some of the ingredients have been adopted such as using the beef steaks.

Coming from the Buddhist background smaller pieces are shredded and used as it was done by the Thais in the ancient times. They are then laced with herbs and spices. The traditional cooking methods were baking and stewing, although sometimes the food was grilled. The introduction of stir and deep frying began well after the 17th century.

Later there were some changes in the ingredient they used in preparing the meals. The Indians who were using ghee to prepare their food started using the coconut oil. Later they went back to using the milk products but this time, butter was used which is believed to bring a more delicious taste.

The use of the very strong spices also toned down. Fresh herbs were then used instead, most notably the lemon grass and the galanga. More people preferred the new taste and as a result, they prefer vegetable soup to the curry. That is also the reason why people comment about the difference in the burning sensation.

The food is served all at once and not in the appetizer to desert format. A proper meal should consist of soup, a dish of curry, a dip in which the fish and vegetables are accompanied. Sometimes a spiced salad is used as a substitute to the curry. It is usually appreciated when the curries substitute is non-spicy. The tastes and textures should all be in harmony.

Usually, the food is eaten with a fork and a spoon only. The knife is never used as the food is served chopped. That obliviates the need for a knife. Eating Thai food is widely a communal affair. It is best when the diners are more than two. As a rule of thumb, the number of dishes is usually an excess of the number of diners by one. The shared meal is agreed upon.

An ideal meal ordered is consists of a unique blend of tastes; the sweet, sour and the bitter taste which is in harmony. A sample ca be composed of a lemon soup that has pork chops in it, a steamed dish like mussels in a curry sauce, a fried dish like the fish that has ginger layered on its surfaces and a beef sliced on layers of mixed vegetables to create a hot salad. It can then be completed by fruit salad. In general, when a person orders the Thai cuisine in Vegas, one expects tidbis, salad, dips, soups, curries, single dishes and fruit salad.
