I spent a few weeks in Bangkok for work back in 2016, and I remember loving the food at first, but after a week the constant flavour profile of sweet+sour+salty+spicy (e.g. sugar + lime juice + fish sauce + peppers) started grating on me. I really tried to test different things, and was invited out regularly by local colleagues. But maybe that's just one part of Thailand? Maybe they say the same thing about "classical French" (i.e. Lyon/Paris) cuisine's reliance on cream, shallots and bacon :)

>Maybe they say the same thing about "classical French" (i.e. Lyon/Paris) cuisine's reliance on cream, shallots and bacon :) My Indian family often complains about Western cuisine's penchant for slathering butter, cream, and cheese on absolutely everything. Even most of the cheap Indian food served in America is way, way too loaded with cream for most Indians' palates.
