Adaptation of Thai Food

The basic ingredients and methods of cooking Thai food have proven highly versatile and cna be used in many of the world's noted cuisine. Particularly in Bangkok, for example, there are restaurants that have adapted them to the preparation of both Jewish and Muslim dishes so they remain uniquely That while at the same time conforming with the strict dietary rules of each cuisine. Western chefs, too, have incorporated That flavours into their own classic dishes to create a type of fusion-food that have proved popular all over the world. Finally, the medicinal values of teas produced from such common That herbs as lemon grass, mint, safflower, galanga and basil, long popular in the Kingdom itself, are being increasingly recognized abroad through sachets especially packaged for export. A kosher restaurant in Bangkok that can be recommended is Chabad House, 96 Ram Butri, Banglamphu, while a number of places specializing in Halal Arabic cuisine can be found on Sukhumvit Soi 19.
