The salads include a vermicelli salad and a minced chicken salad with ground rice and kaffir lime. The soups include a coconut milk soup with mushrooms, a tom yum noodle soup and a clear broth with rice noodles.
Curries come in green, red and peanut styles, cooked with coconut milk, and there is a sweet and sour curry as well. Stir fries include basil, cashew, ginger and pad see ew. Whole NZ snapper can be deep fried with a tamarind, sweet chilli or herb dressing, or steamed with soy and ginger.
