At Bangkok Cafe

In the bustling city of Newcastle upon Tyne, culinary delights are a plenty, but for a taste of the exotic Orient, then At Bangkok Café will do very well indeed. Simple, unfussy and informal décor serves as the perfect foil to fresh and authentic Thai food, while the friendly service adds to their appeal.

You can savour delights there such as home made spring rolls, chicken satay, spicy minced pork salad with mint, fresh lime juice, and ground rice or king prawn tempura for starters. Follow that up with duck in Thai red curry with pineapple and tomato or chicken in coconut milk soup with herbs for main course. Steamed jasmine rice or glass noodles go very well with these curries. For dessert, you could try the khanom chun, a green layered confection or look choop, miniature fruits made from a paste of nuts and sugar.
