Royal Thai Cuisine

Royal Thai cuisine
The Royal Thai cuisine offers authentic Thai tastes through the best ingredients and contemporary presentation that has been recognised as the Most Recommended Thai Food from world-class stages. Royal Thai Food or Chao-Wang food has been around since the Ayutthaya Era, which began in 1351 and ended in 1767. While the royal family of the previous eras had their own cuisine, the traditional style originated during this time. In Thai, “Chao” means “the people of” or “the citizens of” and “Wang” means “palace.” Therefore, Ahan Chao-Wang means the “food of the people in the palace.”
During the Ayutthaya period due to close alliances with the Portuguese several sweet and beautifully presented desserts were introduced such as sangkaya (coconut custard), look chup (Thai marzipan) and tong yip, foy tong and tong yod (egg yolk-based sweets).
Royal Thai Cuisine is known for its mild taste, lavish presentation, and a combination of different rare and expensive ingredients. Only the best and freshest ingredients will do. While some of them may be normal by today’s standards, you have to remember that back in the day, those things were so rare that only the wealthy were able to afford them. For example, khao chae or cold rice is something you would never find ordinary people eating a few hundred years ago.
