Someone once wrote that food is God’s love made edible. No wonder why food is always linked with nurturing love and relationships. Many women claim that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, while lots of men know that roses should always be accompanied with chocolates. And both parties agree that a date is not complete without a romantic dinner for two.
But now that Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, what actually are these kinds of “God’s love made edible†that must be present along with those red roses, the candlesticks and a bottle of wine?
You’d be surprised to find out that Thai food is actually on the top of the list of food choices for lovers on a Valentine’s Day date. Year by year it has been slowly gaining a reputation as the new food of love and is now the choice of the majority of American couples having their first date, thanks to its variety of spicy dishes and sensual mixture of ingredients that are considered aphrodisiacs - which means, they’ve been long proven to aid in stimulating passion and romantic desires. That is why they are sought after by couples not only during the month of hearts, but in any other romantic events as well.
Thai food ingredients such as cardamom, garlic, galangal, ginger, basil, lemongrass, and asparagus are all aphrodisiacs. These key spices are key elements that make Thai dishes taste uniquely delectable.
So, are you looking forward to a better Valentines than last year? How about making things more exciting by customising the occasion? Like, getting your hands at work with the preparation of that romantic dinner perhaps? And how about adding Thai food to your list of menu? It will be a lot more memorable if you do it yourself instead of dining out or ordering from a restaurant.
