Change of the classic tastes of Thai cuisine.


The modern nature of business and competition has changed the classic tastes of Thai cuisine. The dishes served now are quite different from what they used to be in the past. There are many reasons why they have changed. First there is the emphasis that we put on speed these days, the desire to get things done in a hurry. Then there is the fact the fresh ingredients like pork, beef and chicken, or seafood like shrimp, fish and shellfish often no longer come from natural sources but from farms. Dry ingredients and seasonings are produced using industrial processes. Therefore, most of the Thai food is now available in many convenience stores and the packages are almost the same as the western one. All of them are ready to eat. Hence, the taste will never be the same anymore.

In my opinion, even though the new Thai cuisine is more convenience to cook but the taste is not as good as in the past. The way of cooking is something that can tell about people’s culture.
