Somtam thai

If talking about Isan Thai food, it is definitely about “Som Tam,” the delicious dish originating from Thailand. It is not only the favorite of Thai people, but foreigners also give their thumbs up and make it a must-menu when they visit Thailand for its full flavors of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy in a single dish and complete nutritional value. Som Tam is not only a delicious food of the nation, it is also a famous country song. When the song starts with the verse “Tor Pai Ni Cha Lao Thueng Ahan Aroi Khue Som Tam Kin Boi Boi Rot Chat Sap Chang,” I believe that many people can continue to sing it fluently. This song is a music composition of Her Royal Highness Maha Chakri Sirindhorn that completely describes Som Tam, including the ingredients, the cooking methods, and how to eat. She composed both the lyrics and melody when she was 15 years old. Her inspiration came from cooking, which is her favorite hobby.
