Thai cuisine has become one of the most popular foods in the world. As early as 2011, some Thai cuisine has been put into the “World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods (Readers’ Pick)” by a worldwide online poll of 35,000 people by CNN International, such as tom yam goong (4th) and pad Thai (5th). What will you think about when people ask you: what is Thai food? Color? Sour? Spicy? Or fresh? You have your own ideas about Thai food. It does not only mean the delicious; it has benefits to our balances in our bodies as well. Today, we will introduce a famous Thai restaurant to you!

Setting the pace in the Norfolk, The House nearing the Chepfield is quite rightly selected your restaurant of the year! A vitreous entrance leads to one of the most classically modern and cozy dining rooms. Decoration with mixing of the ivory and wood brown and good-enough service take you a while to feel at home in there. Traditional Thai food in The House does not mix many western elements in their own food. But they show you the clear spicy levels of each food considerately; you also can choose it by your own as well. All ingredients are most fresh, especially the seafood. It tastes totally different from seafood you try in other restaurant. It keeps the enough elastic and delicate flavors of them. Want our advice? Order green curry and pad Thai and wait
for the unparalleled yummy food bombing in your mouth! This time, we interview the famous Thai restaurant The House's manager Panchalikar, who is enthusiasm competent and works like a heart in this restaurant. We talk about her restaurant and her attitude to Thai food industry in Norwich. Next is our interview context:
Tell us about your restaurant. What inspired you to open up a Thai restaurant? 5 years ago, I was studying Human Resources Management in UEA. At the same time, I did a part-time job in a Thai restaurant every Saturday night. During I working here, I enjoyed in it very much! But in that time in Norwich, there were not many Thai restaurants. And they were very small. Therefore, I have many thoughts about opening a Thai restaurant for my own! A big one! What would you consider has been the key secret to your restaurant's successful operation? I don’t know whether I’m successful or not. I think I do good quality of food; and also, we try to make our costumer as happy as we can. We do summarize our problems every week. For example, we try to find a faster way to serving foods with good quality in very busy weekend nights. But my chef is a very strict person to cook. He does not allow doing bad quality food. For solving with this problem, we always communicate and serve to them at that time. Besides that, I really want to say thanks to my costumers. At the first of our restaurant opening, costumers have helped us a lot. After
having dinners, they always upload our restaurant and foods on social network, like Facebook and Twitter. It helped us a lot in promotion. Finally, we have many special delicious meals for different consumers. What is a popular food and drinks in your restaurant? Our most popular food is chicken green curry. For British consumers, they prefer the green chicken curry. But it is different to Asians; they like steamed sea bass more. For drinks, hot Thai tea is popular in our restaurant. Is your restaurant a traditional Thai restaurant? Or mix with some western elements? Actually, I just follow my heart. I don’t like to too complex decorations. Some Thai restaurant always put figures of Buddha and strong national colors. I’m different from them. I just think it is too Thai. I would like to my customers feel relaxing in my restaurant; therefore, I use simple and western decoration with light brown color. And I also put dome green plants and running waters here to show a comfortable and natural environment to my consumers.
At the first, I thought British could not take too spicy food. But I want my consumers enjoy the real Thai food. And mu chef and I have done lots of surveys before we decide the menu. I’ve been to other Thai restaurant in UK, try their food and find popular one. Therefore, I do not change them to too sweet or salty. The food is still having spicy tastes. But to meet the requirements of UK’s market, I separate the level of spicy tastes in different meals; and consumers can choose what they want. If you don’t like spicy food, you can choose this meal with ‘one chili’. It is not too spicy. Why do you name your restaurant as "The House" ? Because I’d like to every one feels they are at their own house when they come into this restaurant. They feel relaxing and comfortable; and they can enjoy the food as delicious as they cook at home. I hope my costumers will feel at home.
