Which drinks pair best with Thai food?

Which drinks pair best with Thai food?

Posted on January 22 2021 at 06:25

The predominant flavours of Thai cuisine are sweet, sour, hot and salty - slightly different from the warm spicing of many Indian curries or the more fragrant, herbal notes of Vietnamese. So which which drinks pair best with a Thai meal?

Many delicious things to eat last night on @launcestonplace’s festive tasting menu including this gorgeous dish of roast celeriac and pecorino and these wicked little deep-fried potato stacks which came with the main course venison. Also a lovely Xmas tree. We were in the private dining room but the main dining areas are incredibly pretty. Good for a romantic night out. (There’s also a good value set lunch) #guest. . . . #celeriac #potato #deepfried #finedining #tastingmenu #kensington #londonfood #londonrestaurantsAd: 3 of the courses at today’s spectacular Albariño lunch @bar44tapas Cardiff. Citrus-cured wild sea bass with olive oil and fennel seed crackers, red prawn stuffed baby cuttlefish with a rich inky bisque sauce and a lovely cheese plate featuring the award-winning Olavidia cheese. I knew that Albariño went with seafood but there were so many other insights - raw fish, citrus, salty crackers, rich shellfish (a good match for an older wine) and CHEESE! White wine with cheese is so often better than red. . . . #seabass #rawfish #cuttlefish #seafood #cheese #albariño #whitewine #winepairing #foodandwineWas so intrigued by the garlic-stuffed chicken with pistachio, sour cherry and herb pilaf that @rebecca_woollard posted as part of the @thegfw challenge the other day that I made it for friends last night (with a @pipersfarm chicken - part payment for our recent collab) and must say it was TOTALLY delicious. You basically roast the chicken over a pan of uncooked rice which you mix with full cream milk and chicken stock (yes, weird, but it works) then fork through the cherries nuts and herbs. I also made the @ottolenghi test kitchen sprout and kale salad with it from Shelf Love (leaving out the hazelnuts and extra Parmesan cos we had chicken and enough nuts in the pilaf) which went really well with it along with a bowl of yogurt with some harissa paste spooned through (a @sabrinaghayour idea). Too much going on to take pix so am ‘borrowing’ @katewhitaker01’s shot and regramming it. You can find the recipe on the @deliciousmag website. Do make it! . . . #chicken #roastchicken #rice #pilau #pilaf #instafood #foodstagram #foodphotography #regramIt’s easy to get a fixed idea in your head about what you should pair with a particular ingredient or dish - blue cheese and port for example - but if you think about the other ingredients on the plate it can take you in a totally different direction. This hugely tasty salad @bullinn_totnes included radicchio, walnuts and sharply flavoured pickled pear along with the local Beenleigh Blue with the result that it was a great match for a crisp fruity white (and turned out to be my #matchoftheweek) Click on the link in my biog to find out more. . . . #salad #cheesesalad #bluecheese #beenleighblue #radicchio #pear #pickledpears #whitewine #winepairing #foodandwine #instawine #winestagram #totnes #ipaidforthis Follow on Instagram
