I know a lot of Malaysians love to consume and purchase Thai products especially in the food category. Talk about food, and we’ll all go crazy about it.
Recently, I went for grocery shopping to get some ingredients to cook Tom Yum Soup. Since Clumsy Boy has complimented that I cook the best tomyum soup. Let me share you a secret – the soup has to be balanced in terms of spiciness, sourness, sweetness, and saltiness. Plus, it has to cooked using the best ingredients! This is what I learned from the cooking class I attended in Krabi.
Speaking about best ingredients, a friend has casually mentioned to me about this thing called Thailand Trust Mark. Instead of waiting to be spoonfed, I decided to do my homework. Uncle Google is always my best friend whenever I need more information about something.
What is Thailand Trust Mark?
Thailand Trust Mark was created under the Royal Thai Government, through the Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce. Thailand Trust Mark, which is also known as T Mark, is a symbol of excellence and trusted quality that was introduced to add distinctive value to products and services that are made in Thailand.
Products and services that bear the Thailand Trust Mark (T Mark) means they have achieved:
