Mainly our Royal Thai
Cuisine serves one of the best dishes
known in the world.
This is due to our fresh ingredients such as the herbs
and spices
and even fresh vegetables
flown in from Thailand’s famous Floating Market.
As Thai dishes
consists of variety
in flavours and tastes like sweet, sour, hot and spicy;
the
different herbs and spices we use
for these dishes not only give us an appetite but more value in our
health.
So, why not dine
in our Blue Elephant Restaurant and feel the difference…………
Basil Bai
horapa or Thai basil (confusingly sometimes referred to as both holy
basil and sweet basil) has a distinctive aniseed/ liquorice taste,
one of the basic flavours that typify Thai cusine. It is worth
seeking it out in Thai grocerss. Lemonbasil, more occasionally used,
is slightly minty. The basil commonly used in the west is a poor
substitute for either.
Lemongrass
Lemongrass is another indispensable flavouring that typifies
Thai cuisine.
It is readily obtainable in oriental food stores. The coarser, upper
part of the stem should be discarded. Select large stems, light
green and straight,
without bruising
