Remembering Amazing Thailand

Thais use this lime very often to enhance the food’s taste. They put it especially with fried rice. We also in the Philippines use lemon as condiment. I can’t live without lime or lemon and soy sauce. It’s what makes my food palatable. So when I arrived in Bangkok I was glad to see the limes readily available in the market. But oh, it was so sour it made me cringe when I tasted it. I didn’t like it at first but learned to later on. When I went back to the Philippines a couple of years later, I found the local lemon not as good as the Thai lemon anymore. I think that it was too mild and not as fragrant as the Thai manao.
