When people asked me - What is Thai food?
For me is hard to explain because Thai food is a delicious history lesson.
It’s born from many regions and cultures blending together.
🌾 North – Gentle, herbal flavors influenced by Myanmar & Laos
🔥 Isaan (Northeast) – Bold, sour, spicy, shaped by Lao traditions
🍲 Central – Balanced curries and royal cuisine, touched by China
🥥 South – Rich, creamy, and fiery, inspired by Malaysia & the sea
Every dish is a conversation of cultures—sweet, sour, salty, spicy, umami—all in one bite.
For the lessons I teach, it’s really important that we also bring in history and culture. This is what brings me so much joy at how welcoming everyone has been 🙏🏼 🇹🇭
Thank you again for the group and for Huong’s lovely family for inviting us in for the latest class we taught this weekend.
