Siam Spoon: Thai Dining in Petone, Lower Hutt

On Jackson Street in Petone, Siam Spoon serves a broad, traditional Thai menu that runs from entrées and soups through to noodles, curries, fish and spicy salads, giving Lower Hutt diners a proper spread of Thai classics in one place.

An Entrée Spread Built for Sharing

The entrée section alone covers a lot of ground: roti served plain or dressed up with lemon butter, peanut sauce, or a choice of green, red or matsaman curry; deep fried spring rolls and curry puffs; Thot Man Pla, Thai fish cakes served with a mild curry paste; and a run of steamed and deep-fried prawn and chicken dumplings, including Ka Nom Jeab and Kha Nom Pang Na Kai. For a table wanting to share, the Mixed Entrees platter — a combination of roll, puff, satay and na kai — is built for a minimum of two people.

Soups, Noodles and Rice

Siam Spoon's soups are all served large, with the option of rice or noodles alongside classics like Tom Kha (coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass and lime) and Tom Yum (chilli paste, lemongrass, mushroom and tomato), as well as wonton soup and a wonton noodle soup made with BBQ pork. On the noodle and rice side, Pad Thai sits alongside Pad See Euu, the cheekily named "Mr. Drunk Man" (a chilli basil rice noodle stir-fry), Pad Mee egg noodles, and several fried rice options including pineapple fried rice and two styles of nasi goreng.

Stir-Fries, Fish and Curries

The stir-fried dishes section gives diners a choice of sauces to pair with vegetables and rice — from chilli paste and cashew, to chilli basil, oyster sauce, ginger, and a sweet-and-sour preparation. Fish gets its own dedicated section, offered either deep fried with a sauce of choice or steamed with lemon juice, garlic and coriander, or ginger and soy. The curry list runs through the familiar range — Matsaman, Pha Naeng, Yellow, Green and Red curry — plus a Red Duck Curry made with roasted duck, tomato, pineapple and grapes in coconut cream.

Thai Spicy Salads

For those after something lighter and punchier, Siam Spoon's Thai spicy salad section includes a Beef Salad with grilled beef, chilli, lemon juice and ground pan-roasted rice, a chicken mince Lab Kai, and a Prawn Salad built around king prawns, Thai herbs, sambal chilli and lemongrass.
