At Bangkok
Bay, we do not use MSG. Our food is prepared with little fat and is lightly
cooked to retain original flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Our chefs
are able to bring out the flavor of the food and adjust levels of spiciness
in any dish, to meet our guests' needs and requirements. |
| Food is very important in Thai culture. In fact, Thai cooking
is an element that helps to hold our family and society together. Meals
are significant events in Thai culture, as they are times for creating
or affirming relationships. The generosity and openness of Thai relationships
can be seen in the eating traditions. Traditionally, all entree dishes
are placed in the center of the table while steamed rice is served to everyone.
This arrangement allows each person to choose which dishes to sample and
enjoy, with no obligation to partake of every dish. This dining style typifies
the traditional acceptance and sharing qualities of Thai familial and friendly
relationships.
As Thai culture is reflected in Thai food, Thai food also reflects Thai
culture. Thai cuisine uses many spices, herbs, and seasonings. The sauces
and spices of our restaurant are made from old family recipes handed dowm
from generation to generation. However, each dish of Thai food is also
characterized by the part of the country from which it originated. Due
to the historical diversity in population and in geographical characteristics,
each part of Thailand contains its own indigenous herbs and spices, and
therefore, correspondingly produces different types of dishes which are
"typical" of those areas. These dishes therefore hold historical and cultural
histories of their own, and are often vastly different from one another.
For example, our "Larb" dish, originating from the northeast, looks and
tastes nothing like "Pad Thai" (shown above) from central Thailand, even
though these two dishes are both part of "Thai cuisine". Bangkok Bay creates
dishes from all different areas of Thailand. We invite you to discover
all the different tastes that are components of "Thai cuisine." |
