What to Order at Sanook Kitchen

Tom Yum Soup: A Tangy Thai Favourite

Tom yum is one of the best-known dishes in Thai cuisine, combining sour and spicy flavours with aromatic ingredients such as lemongrass, lime and herbs. Sanook Kitchen offers variations featuring seafood, chicken or fish, with clear and red soup options listed on its menu.

For a shared meal, a pot of tom yum can provide a lively centrepiece alongside rice, vegetables and stir-fried dishes. If you prefer milder food, tell the staff your spice preference when ordering. The final heat level may vary by dish, so ask for guidance if you are particularly sensitive to chilli.

Green Curry and Thai Basil Stir-Fries

Green curry is another popular choice for diners who enjoy rich, aromatic Thai flavours. Sanook Kitchen's menu lists chicken, beef and seafood versions. The coconut-based curry pairs naturally with steamed rice and offers a different flavour profile from the sharper notes of tom yum.

For something stir-fried, consider minced chicken with Thai basil or a beef basil dish. These meals combine savoury seasoning with the fragrance of basil and can be served with rice. Other options include stir-fried vegetables, kai lan with mushrooms and morning glory, providing alternatives for sharing or balancing a meat-based order.

Pad Thai, Rice Dishes and Noodles

Pad Thai is a familiar Thai noodle dish with a combination of savoury, sweet and tangy flavours. Sanook Kitchen's menu includes rice and noodle dishes, with options such as seafood pad Thai, fried vermicelli, fried rice and other noodle preparations. These are convenient choices for diners who prefer a complete meal in one plate.

Pineapple fried rice is another menu favourite for those who enjoy a fragrant rice dish. If you are dining with several people, consider combining a rice or noodle dish with soup, curry and vegetables for a broader selection of flavours and textures.

Seafood and Sharing Dishes

The restaurant also offers seafood choices, including fish, squid and prawns prepared in different Thai-style sauces. Depending on the current menu, options may include steamed sea bass with chilli, lime and garlic, seafood stir-fries and claypot glass noodles with prawns.

These dishes are worth considering for a group meal, particularly when everyone wants to try a little of everything. Check current menu prices and portion sizes with the restaurant, as offerings may vary by outlet and over time.

Thai Desserts and Drinks

Finish your meal with a Thai dessert such as mango sticky rice, Red Ruby or Thai chendol, depending on availability. Red Ruby typically combines crunchy water-chestnut pieces with a sweet coconut-milk base, while Thai-style chendol offers a refreshing dessert option.

Thai milk tea and Thai green milk tea are also listed among the restaurant's drinks. Their creamy sweetness can complement the savoury and spicy flavours of the main dishes. If you prefer a less sweet drink, ask whether the sweetness level can be adjusted.
