Easy as  mango and sticky rice and Kao pad american are already accepted as soft Thai power, and added with Massaman curry...No need to spend money on a competition. hire a good chef. Besides there is even a Michelin star cook in Bangkok for noodles..

All mushrooms are eatable . Some only once .

Those should be served on the occasion to Mr . Min Aung Hlain , and his friend Vladimir Putin ( who's presence is not yet confirmed . ) They may not have time to show up at the APEC meeting , because of being too busy to kill innocent people .

Don't forget the MSG and chilli to mask poor flavour profiles.

MSG is a much hated ingredient for no reason.  Do some reading upon the subject.  CRS was a joke.  Here I'll help you start.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate
