Whether at home or in a restaurant Thai meals are always served family style from common serving platters. Traditionally the party orders one of each kind of dish (perhaps a curry, a stir-fry, a salad, a vegetable dish and a soup) taking care to balance cool and spicy, sour and sweet, salty and plain. Two people generally order two or three dishes, with extras for larger parties. Dining with others is always preferred because it means everyone has a chance to sample several dishes. When forced by circumstance to eat alone a single diner usually sticks to one-plate dishes such as fried rice or noodles.
