Toasted rice, herbs, lime, chilli and Northeastern seasoning.

Bright & Bold

Experience the vibrant flavours of Northeastern Thailand, where fresh herbs, lime and chilli come together in dishes that are bright, refreshing and full of character.

What We'll Prepare

  • Larb Moo — warm minced pork salad with toasted rice, fresh herbs and lime.

  • Som Tum Thai — green papaya salad with lime, palm sugar, fish sauce and roasted peanuts.

Why These Two Dishes?

Larb and Som Tum are two of Thailand's most iconic salads.

While one is served warm and the other fresh, both rely on exactly the same principle: balancing bold flavours with freshness.

Together, they demonstrate how herbs, citrus and chilli create dishes that are vibrant, light and unmistakably Thai.

  • Balancing sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours.

  • Using toasted rice to create authentic texture and aroma.

  • Working confidently with fresh herbs.
