Simple tips for great flavour

Even though taste is the most important aspect of any dish, there are several other factors that can further enhance the flavours of food. Our taste buds can only perceive five basic tastes, namely, sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami (savoury). Therefore, we must also rely on other sense organs, such as the nose, eyes, and ears, to make food taste even better. Our sense of smell (olfaction), in particular, can greatly improve food flavours.

Garlic is one of the most commonly used ingredients in Thai cooking. Believed to have been introduced to Thailand by the Chinese, garlic is an ancient plant that has been widely known in Central Asia for centuries. The use of garlic later spread to the Middle East and its neighbouring countries. In ancient times, garlic was used primarily for medicinal purposes, but it soon gained popularity as a cooking herb.
