Talk about Thai flavours, ingredients and food preferences in Thai. This second food topic goes past ordering into describing what's on the plate — asking what's ใส่ (added/put in) a dish, checking for กะทิ (coconut milk), กุ้ง (shrimp) or ผงชูรส (MSG), and comparing tastes with กว่า (more…than). You'll praise food as กลมกล่อม (nicely balanced) or รสจัด (boldly flavoured), say what you can't handle, and explore regional and raw dishes from อีสาน (Isan) food to ปลาดิบ (raw fish). Its 27 sentences are recorded by native speakers and come with English translations and word-by-word notes, so the flavour vocabulary lands by ear.
