A History Of The Thai Cuisine Las Vegas

By Stephen Walker


According to a survey done by the food magazine, it is clear that the Thai cuisine meal is going to stand the taste of time. This is because the food has a variety of tastes all perfectly fitted into only one meal. That uniqueness in taste often originates from the blending of very many exotic ingredients which give it the spicy tinge. Thai cuisine Las Vegas are usually loaded with scented flavours.

The Thai cuisine usually suits all palates irrespective of the whom it is cooked for and the occasion. Originally, it was associated with a waterborne lifestyle or in other words foods that entail herbs, plants and more so aquatic animals. With time it has changed, and sizable chunks of beef are being used mainly in areas where the marine fish is limited like the Infamous Las Vegas.

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.

With the coming of the new cooking technique, a lot of changes occurred in the way the food was being spiced. Initially, the ghee which was used by the Indians in the preparation was replaced by the coconut oil. Butter was then used later after the coconut oil.

The use of these harsh spices was somewhat reduced. Fresh herbs like galanga and lemon grass became the substitute. Eventually, the curry became more of a vegetable soup. That is why many people acknowledge that Thai cuisines burn briefly but intensely unlike other curries that burn for longer periods of time.

According to the Buddhist culture, the Thai food is served as one meal and not as the Westerners do. A meal should be composed of vegetable soup, a bowl of curry, a dip in which the fried fish is dipped or even the vegetable. For those who mind the excess spices in the curry can substitute with a bowl of soup that has mild spicing.

The knife is never used to prepare the meal. A knife and a fork suffice. It is logical because the food is chopped into small pieces during both preparations and serving. In restaurants, the meal is usually served by an excess of one. The meals should, therefore, be communal.

A typical meal that is ordered is usually a unique blend of a sour, bitter, and sweet taste. This may mean serving a clear soup that is prepared by minced pork and lemons;, a steamed dish preferably a fried dish like fish with ginger, mussels in a curry sauce, a hot salad (beef sliced and garnished with onions and vegetable). The meal can then be cupped with fresh fruits. When one orders Thai cuisine, the person is to expect tidbits, salad, dips soups curries single dishes and desserts.
