Name of Thai food we would like to present.
First dish “Pad Thai”
This Pad Thai recipe is how Thai vendors prefer in Bangkok and comes from variations from food carts all over the city. Delicious Pad Thai is dry and light bodied, with a fresh, complex, balanced flavor. Pad Thai can be a perfect vegetarian dish, just omit shrimp and substitute soy sauce for fish sauce. Add more tofu if you like. The original Pad Thai recipe calls for crushed roasted peanuts. However, many people in Thailand avoid eating peanuts because of its link to cancer.


Second dish “Green curry Chicken” (Gaeng kiew wan kai)
Green Curry Chicken or Gaeng Kiew Wan Gai in Thai, is a famous Thai Cuisine originated from Central Thailand. Green Curry Chicken is loved by most people, especially those who can’t take hot stuff or don’t enjoy “mouth-burning” feeling but want to eat Thai food, because it is not as hot as other Thai dish, in fact it is pretty sweet. Green Curry Chicken is very much different from other curries, beside not as hot and spicy like others, it also contains a lot more vegetable, like eggplant, green bell pepper, onion, carrot and cauliflower.

Third dish “Tom Yum Koong” (Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup)
This is one of the famous traditional Thai dishes, it is sometimes called hot and sour shrimp soup. You should order this soup with a plate rice or fried rice and fried eggs in Thai style.We believe that most foreign people are known the food “Tom yum Koong” because tom yum koong is a name of famous movie of Thailand and when people was watching this movie they were exiting so, it seem to be said that this dish (Tom yum koong) has a very strong flavored and very delicious.
