This dish is essentially the best dish that defines Thailand's cuisine. This dish, if you've not had it yet, must try it out immediately. This is a soup that is light, and clear, seasoned with some spices and also includes a mix of lime, chilies, fish sauce and other ingredients. Lemon grass, galangal and shallot is used to simmer the broth in, that makes it aromatic, light and gives it a unique taste. Prawn is what's used in this dish as the main attraction. This dish is the most popular and regarded as the best dish due to its amazing and unique taste. Sometimes chicken or ox tail can be used instead of the shrimp aswell, and can be ordered the way you prefer it. However the most famous is the one with the shrimp and hence it's called Tom Yum Goong.

Pad Thai and Khao Pad

Pad Thai is known as Thai style fried rice noodle. This dish is unique in it's own way as it's only created using the freshest ingredients and noodles which are created delicately that is soft but elastic. The noodles are traditionally created by hand and so the process is long and requires talented chefs. It's then cooked gently with Thai spices and herbs, and is served with lemon, lemongrass and a unique sauce that is sort of grainy but rich in texture. The classic pad Thai is also served with eggs, shrimp, tofu and garnished with peanuts and coriander. Khao pad is a similar dish, but instead of noodles, fried rice is used. Those who prefer rice can opt for the Khao pad instead. The blending of the flavors in this dish makes it distinct from any other fried rice. Fish sauce, lemons and sugar are the key ingredients used in this dish. 

Tom Kha Gai (Chicken in Coconut Milk Soup) and Gaeng Keaw Wan Gai (Green Chicken Curry)

Green Chicken Curry

In Tom Kha, Gai, a variety of herbs and spices are used in addition to olive oil and coconut milk creates the broth. The soup itself is one of the best and refreshing soups of all time. It's also seasoned with lime, chili and fish sauces. As coconut milk is added the soup is not as light as the other ones used in the Thai cuisine, and it has some density which makes it different from the rest. It's also served with chicken and mushroom. It's a sweet and sour soup depending on the ingredients and is not very spicy so it's great for non spice soup lovers. Green Chicken Curry ( Gaeng Keaw Wan Gai ) is a curry from Thailand and has a noticeable green color and a slimy and sloppy texture. It's a sweet curry with a kick of spice, so it's a great and unique curry that is not just spicy. The Green Chicken Curry is loved by many, and has captured my heart aswell. Green Chilies, fresh herbs and lemon and great spices makes the basis of the Green Chicken Curry. It's one of the if not best dish in Thai cuisine.
