When speaking of the Land of Smiles, we admire two things: their soft-spoken persona and their mouth-smacking dishes. Honestly, there is no Thai culinary experience that does not leave us wanting more. Every list of foods that came out from the menu is considered one of a blissful dining experience.
From their signature Tom Yum soup to Pad Thai—they hold tight to their ancestors’ cooking practices, recipes, and tricks. It’s that traditional method that they often prioritise in order to be the best in the culinary industry. And thankfully, with ever-growing restaurants, we don’t always have to spend hundreds flying to Thailand to taste their traditional dishes.
Especially in Kuala Lumpur where you could find plethora of trustee restaurants offering endless treats from the north to the south side of Thailand. Glitz by Beauty Insider is here to help you satisfy those spice and herbs cravings.
