Thai food, palatable to Indonesian taste

Thailand is well-known as one of the largest food producing countries which have been feeding the world's population over the years.

No wonder Thai foods and fruits are very famous and have always been in great demand among the majority of Indonesian consumers. These include high-quality rice, particularly fragrant rice (Hom Mali and jasmine), sugar, Tom Yam Kung, fruits such as durian, longan, guava, lychee and mango.

High-quality Thai rice is being imported by Indonesian companies in accordance with Indonesia's laws and are available at major supermarkets, produce stores and restaurants in several cities.
