Thai food is world-renowned for its spiciness and strong aroma, and offers a number of dishes that can be enjoyed both with rice or eaten like a snack or appetiser. The best loved dish is tom yum kung (spicy soup with shrimps, mushrooms and herbs, delicately balanced with sour, bitter and salty herbs). Curry dishes include kang kiew wan (green curry soup), kang ped (spicy red curry soup) and kang gai (yellow curry soup with chicken and potato).
