You won't be able to stop at one of these. They are chewy, crunchy, spicy and ever so good. Served with house made sweet chilli sauce. A great Friday night snack dinner. The rice balls are quite large and filling and stuffed with tofu so have carbohydrate and protein.

This is a luxe Thai curry that is a little sweet, a little sour and just the right dash of spicy. I will use scotch fillet Australian beef, seared and poached in the rich broth that has the tang of tamarind and a hint of cassia. One steak serves two people sliced.

These are ribs that you chew, not American style gooey ones but ones with mouth feel, marinated in a fantastic Thai-Chinese marinade and grilled on charcoal. They come with possibly the best of all the Thai dipping sauces jaew, made with coriander, lemongrass and roasted rice powder. Dip and chew!

This is a Thai classic made in a traditional terracotta mortar and pestle and combining unripe papaya with a heady mix of dried shrimp, chilli, palm sugar, fish sauce, fresh tomatoes, snake beans and lime juice. Choose your chilli rating and have it hot or soothing! Goes perfectly with barbecued meats and seafood. Any one who does not want dried shrimp please let me know in the notes section as each salad is made individually.

This fresh and crunchy Vietnamese coleslaw is full of the freshest cabbage, cucumber, carrot and topped with lashings of fresh mint, coriander and Thai basil and toasted shallots with a refreshing rice vinegar dressing. A perfect accompaniment to Lemongrass Roast Chicken or a great stand alone lunch.

This melt-in-your mouth eggplant pickle is a side dish or perfect small meal with some steamed rice.

Who doesn't love a decadent bowl of coconut rice!

In the mountains of Vietnam it is common to eat unhulled red jasmine rice. Rich in fibre but still delicate enough to soak up flavour.
