Next to Japanese we love the Thai cuisine the ingredients and flavours is just a perfect match to our palates, it’s nearly similar to the Philippine stir fries just hotter. The ingredients are nearly the same due to the fact that we have tons of seafood and tropical vegetables available in our markets.
