Thai cuisine – a world famous cuisine. With the unique way of using, combining spices, and also Thai cooking methods are easy and simple – a knife, wok, pestle and mortar - as commonly known utensils, with stir-frying and steaming being the most common techniques. Some  may take it for granted that Thai cuisine is only famous because of its spiciness but the authenticity is indeed the balance of five flavors: sour, sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, and spiciness (The spice comes from chilly, the sweetness from cane. Tamarind or lime provides the acidity while the saltiness comes from a variety of ingredients such as soy sauce, fish sauce or shrimp paste).
