Wipa grows her own produce when possible, even pulling fresh herbs from the small garden by the entrance. And takes any chance she can to garnish dishes with fresh flowers, usually a stunning hibiscus bloom.

Menu

The Taste of Thai menu is huge with lots of food, beverage and dessert options.

You can find the whole Taste of Thai takeout menu online including beautiful photos and descriptions for all the dishes. I think this is so helpful for people who are not familiar with authentic Thai food but want to branch out and try new thai food dishes.

Some of the dishes that I’m most excited about:

• Thai curry puff– at $6 each this is an amazing deal for lunch.
• Yum Pahk Grob – “Thai chips and dip” deep fried crispy kale with a delicious thai dipping sauce
• Khao Mun Som-Tum – thai grilled chicken thigh with blue coconut jasmine rice (made with butterfly pea flower and coconut milk), and Som Tum Goong Sod or “green papaya salad” with shredded green papay, green beans, cherry tomatoes, peanuts, and sweet lime dressing.
• Yum Som-O – traditionally made with pomelo Wipa’s version of this ancient royal Thai recipe is made with pink grapefruit, coconut milk, chili paste, prawns and peanuts.
• Roti Sai Klua – roti filled with cream cheese and bananas and pan fried in ghee. Served with sweetened condensed milk and chocolate drizzle.
• Non Dairy Ginger Coconut Creme Brulee – served with candied pineapple and gold flake.
• Thai masala chai – custom blended by Wipa with black tea, cardamom, cinnamon stick, cloves, black pepper and ginger. Served hot or iced, as is or with your choice of cream or coconut milk. And a whole range of other thai iced teas, thai iced coffee and more. Even a ginger lemon tea that would be great as a natural immune booster!
• Hibiscus lemongrass tea – garnished with the signature hibiscus flower
