A Thai
meal pleases diners with a harmony of tastes - sweet, sour,
hot, spicy and salty. In a meal, all five tastes should
be present. A typical Thai meal consists of an appetizer
or two - perhaps hot or cold spring rolls and a salad -
be it of green mango, papaya or cold beef. Soup is the well-loved
thom yung gung or scallops with coconut milk, tinged with
lemongrass. There's usually a curry dish - an emerald curry
or a red curry, perhaps a whole fried fish, and noodles,
all served with steamed rice. For dessert, look for the
delicious sticky rice and coconut milk with mango.
