Som tam is the freshest thing on our menu: crunchy, sour, sweet and spicy all at once. It lifts a menu of curries and noodles, and in little bamboo boats it makes one of our prettiest canapés.

What's in it

Shredded green papaya is pounded with cherry tomatoes, green beans, chilli and garlic, dressed with palm sugar and fish sauce for a balance of sweet, sour and savoury, finished with crushed peanuts and served on fresh lettuce.

How we serve it at events

  • In bamboo boats as a canapé at drinks receptions
  • As a fresh starter or side on sharing tables
  • As a first course at private chef dinner parties

It pairs well with golden fish cakes and chicken satay, and cuts through a rich Royal Massaman Curry.

Dietary and allergens

Gluten-friendly and dairy-free, with a vegan version on request made without fish sauce. Contains peanuts, soy and garlic, and the standard version contains fish. Every dish is labelled for the 14 major allergens. Because ingredients are stored and prepared in shared facilities, traces of any of the 14 allergens may be present, so please tell us about allergies when you book.

Available for weddings, corporate events, private parties and outdoor events across Essex, London and the rest of England. We are a catering company, so our dishes are cooked for events rather than sold as a takeaway.

“They tailored their menu to us completely, adding a curry dish that is meaningful to us, and making sure the starters were vegan so all our guests could enjoy them… Most of our guests commented on how much they loved the food.”
Tilly M.
“I booked Mihai and Nok for my mum's 60th birthday… they adapted their starters into canapés style plates for our casual dining event. Everyone was raving about the food and we didn't have any guests going hungry!”
Ruby O.
“All of our guests loved the Thai buffet and we had lots of comments on the high quality. Mihai and his team were discreet and cracked on using the facilities the hall had… brilliant with some of the more complex dietary requirements.”
