  • Thai Beef Curry

    My go-to dish is the Thai Beef curry. One could be forgiven for passing over it, as it’s a pre made curry that sits in the Bain Marie, but is absolutely loaded with flavour!

  • Pad See Ew

    We had the pad see ew, spicy noodles, and chicken stir fry, and each dish was delicious and generously portioned.

  • Satay

    the Satay will be your best choice and it will have you coming back for more.

  • Pad Thai

    Loved the Pad Thai (medium heat wasn’t too spicy but my family and I have high heat tolerance).
