The curry is served at the last minute with a handful of crunchy peanuts.

Thai Green Mango Salad

A whiff of the zesty dressing of fresh limes, chilli, garlic, palm sugar and fish sauce brings you straight to the streets of Thailand! A refreshing salad with stripes of green mango, smashed green beans, cherry tomatoes and whole roasted peanuts.

Vietnamese Style Crisp Fried Spring Rolls

Delicious parcel filled with minced pork, glass noodles, carrots, wood ear and garlic deep-fried to golden perfection. Served enrobed in a lettuce leaf with fresh sweet basil, mint and cilantro leaves, dipped in a refreshing sweet, sour, spicy and salty Nuoc Cham dip.

Nuoc Cham Dipping sauce

Bold and refreshing flavours from fresh lime juice, fish sauce, raw chillies and garlic, Nuoc Cham is the principle sauce used lavishly as a dip, sauce or marinade in many dishes in the Vietnamese kitchen from summer and spring rolls to grilled meat to fried fish and many more. It's quick and easy to make and keeps for weeks in the fridge.
