These 5 Foods Often Appear in Thai Dramas: Tom Yum - Pad Thai

Kapanlagi.com - Thai dramas have recently gained popularity. Their popularity is not less than that of Korean dramas. In addition to presenting unique storylines, Thai dramas often also highlight cultural elements, including cuisine that makes foreign viewers, such as those from Indonesia, curious.

Interestingly, just like Korean dramas that often feature mouth-watering signature dishes, a series of signature dishes from the White Elephant Country also often appear in Thai dramas.

Tom Yum

Who doesn't know Tom Yum? This Thai dish is already popular in Indonesia. Similarly, when watching Thai dramas, you may not be unfamiliar when you encounter Tom Yum, because this food often appears. The dish is a soup that contains various kinds of seafood in a rich and savory broth, with a refreshing sour and slightly spicy taste. It will definitely make you drool when you see it in Thai dramas.

Pad Kra Pao Gai

If in Indonesia, we cook rica-rica chicken with basil leaves, a similar dish also exists in Thailand. Called Pad Kra Pao Gai, this unique and popular cuisine in Thailand is cooked with spices and basil leaves. The savory taste is felt when chewed. Pad Kra Pao Gai also often appears in various Thai dramas.

Khao Pad

Just like Indonesia, which has street food that arouses the appetite, Thailand also has it. Its name is Khao Pad, which is Thai-style fried rice. Unlike Indonesian fried rice that has a reddish color, Khao Pad is more like fried rice without tomato sauce or chili. Its natural color is formed because of the use of more spices, such as candle nuts and coriander. Khao Pad often appears in various Thai dramas.

Khao Tom

Another delicious typical Thai soup to enjoy is Khao Tom. Because many people love this cuisine, it often appears in Thai dramas. Khao Tom itself is a seafood rice dish. It can be said to be similar to soto in Indonesia, but it does not use beef or chicken.

Pad Thai

Last but not least, there is Pad Thai which is actually one of the famous street foods in Thailand. Pad Thai itself is rice noodles stir-fried with various additional ingredients, such as seafood and vegetables like bean sprouts. The sweet, spicy, and refreshing taste, especially when added with lime juice, makes Pad Thai even more delicious. It's no wonder this culinary dish often appears in Thai dramas.

Not only can you imagine it while salivating, but you can also find some of these Thai foods in Indonesia. Moreover, some can be easily pre-ordered from home, such as the following Thai foods:
