khao mao thort - young green rice doughnuts tossed in jasmine sugar and served with sweet coconut cream and longans.

young green sticky rice, harvested before full maturity, is cooked into a delicious pudding-like mix with coconut cream, pandan, fresh coconut and sugar.

once cooled, it’s tossed in rice flour and deep fried, then whizzed around a bowl with jasmine sugar, before being served with coconut cream and longans.

a recipe we learned several years ago from , back in the early days of the wonderful 🙏

pork, prawn and peanut dip served with rice crackers — khao tang na tang.

“khao tang” refers to the rice that crusts at the bottom of the cooking pot; here, the rice is dried out, then fried into light, crisp crackers.

the “na tang” part refers to the rich topping. our version is made with minced pork, pounded prawns, fresh coconut cream and a simple chilli paste, all cooked together with some of our lovely, freshly pressed coconut cream.

we’ve included the chopped flesh of some salak, or snake fruit, in the version we have on now.

rich, nutty, sweet-savoury and fruity — a classy way to start your meal.

the more funky-sour-salty-spicy cousin of your classic Bangkok-style green papaya salad

the version we’re making this week includes seasoned pla raa (fermented fish sauce), green mango, raw Thai aubergines, pickled mustard greens, and herbs like long leaf coriander and betel leaf

we encourage you to do the smart thing and pair it with a basket of sticky rice and a couple of our grilled bamboo chicken skewers
