Thai cooking is a masterclass in balance — sour, sweet, salty, and spicy in constant, beautiful conversation, each element pulling the others into focus. It is a cuisine of contrasts that somehow always lands in harmony, whether in a street-side bowl of soup or an elaborate royal preparation. In this evening we cook a full Thai journey: from a steaming, galangal-laced broth to a rich and aromatic curry, closing with the dessert that has seduced the entire world.
On the menu:
- Tom Yum Soup – The great Thai soup — galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime, and chilli building a broth that is simultaneously sour, spicy, and deeply savoury, with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes soaking up every drop.
- Green Curry – A luxurious, fragrant green curry made from scratch — fresh herb paste blended and cooked in coconut cream with aubergine, courgette, and Thai basil, served over jasmine rice.
- Mango Sticky Rice – The only ending. Sweet coconut-soaked glutinous rice topped with ripe mango and a drizzle of salted coconut cream — simple, perfect, and quietly addictive.
A full sensory evening for lovers of bold spice, fragrant herbs, and the art of balance on a plate.
