What's the Best Way to Eat Thai Food?
This technique allows for the efficient handling of the diverse components of Thai cuisine, including rice, vegetables and proteins. One way you can tell if the dish requires a spoon and fork and not chopsticks is by checking your table setting. Most Thai restaurants will set out the utensils you need for the dish you are eating. Of course, you can also ask your server to get clarification on what utensil is best for which dish.
And don't forget the utensil you always have, um, handy: your hands! In certain regions of Thailand, it's customary to eat sticky rice with your hands. Diners form the sticky rice into small balls and use them to scoop up accompanying dishes, like chicken or dips. This method is practical, given the texture of sticky rice, and also creates a more intimate connection with the food. It's a practice deeply rooted in tradition and reflects the communal nature of Thai dining.
