This weekend many places(temples, churches) are closed due to the SAS out-break here is some foods all can enjoy:. Thai Food Tracy Lalonde Therefs a misconception that Thai food is just a colorful name for " spicy Chinese. " The cuisine was indeed influenced originally by the Eastern culture, adopting its tendencies of blending the contrasting tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty. It was also affected dramatically by neighboring India and Burma. Now Thai food is a unique and distinct cuisine, reflecting a history of Thailand as the only country in Southeast Asia never to have been colonized by a Western power! Thai cooking is one of the most intricate in the world. Its goal is a subtle balance between tastes and textures with great emphasis on presentation and color. Wilasinee ( " Wila " ) Vareevanich, owner of Boa Thong Thai Restaurant in Penticton, BC, believes it to be one of the healthiest because of the spices. " A lot of the spice that we use is very good for the blood, " she says. Raw foods in Thai cuisine supply valuable nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables, protein and nutrients from organically-grown tofu and added benefits from a diversity of special herbs. Each is excellent for supporting various aspects of health, such as the immune system, circulation and digestion. Here are some of Thailandfs most common herbs and their health benefits: Alteratives cleanse and purify the blood and tend to restore normal health: cilantro, coriander, garlic and turmeric. Stimulants increase internal heat and strengthen metabolism and circulation: cardamom, cloves, garlic, ginger, galangal (relative of ginger), tamarind and tumeric. Expectorants promote discharge of mucus and phlegm from the throat and lungs: cardamom, cloves, garlic, ginger and kaffir lime leaves. Carminatives relieve intestinal gas and pain and encourage muscle contractions: cilantro, cardamom, coriander, cloves, garlic and lime leaves. Diuretics support kidney and bladder function while increasing urination: cilantro, coriander and lemon grass. Thai cuisine is a flexible food. The recipes have descended from prior generations only by word of mouth. Measurements and ingredients arenft exact but are improvised along the way as each new chef adds his own personal modifications. Detailed attention is paid to pleasing the eye, nose and taste buds. The culture is strong with the sharing of food. All courses are served at once or in close succession, placed in the centre of the table. A small serving from one dish--with the staple rice--is eaten, then the next and so on. Thai people seldom use chopsticks; theyfre more apt to be found using forks and spoons or even their hands. Raw foods retain the " heat " more than cooked. Lemon grass and lime leaves act as " refrigerants, " helping to reduce body temperature and relieve thirst. However, you may wish to be liberal with chili peppers, taking brown rice with each bite to help tone down the spiciness. The following recipes are merely a guide. Feel free to play around with them depending on your own health choices, and donft be shy to improvise. It only takes a little effort to produce terrific results. Discover the essence of the Thai culture and enjoy an exciting and unique dining experience. Sawadee! (Thai greeting with a number of meanings, one of which is " good luck!
