Let’s take you on a journey with this month’s Thai Memories dish. Growing up in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, Chef Milk didn’t always have access to fresh seafood, but when she did, scallops quickly became one of her favourites. She often enjoyed them with a refreshing pomelo salad, a recipe passed down from her mother and traditionally paired with seafood.

Sambal matah is a traditional Balinese condiment. It is a raw, spicy, and refreshing sambal made primarily from ingredients like chopped shallots, lemongrass, chili, and lime juice. It’s often served as a side dish to accompany grilled seafood. Though its roots are in Bali, sambal matah is enjoyed in other parts of Indonesia including Chef Yusri’s family home in Toraja, Indonesia. In this dish, we bring together large, succulent Hokkaido scallops with a pomelo salad and sambal matah.

Only available throughout November!

Welcoming ‘The Freak’ himself at Longrain recently, it’s hard not to be romanced by John Hughes’ love of all things Riesling. The No.7 is an absolute knockout, and a testament to his creativity. Fortified and aged in oak before release, it shows white port qualities whilst still retaining the Riesling aromatics. Bravo John!

Growing up this was one of the Longrain chef's favourite childhood dishes. Its simplicity and portability made it a favourite among the kids. The team reminisce with fond memories patiently waiting by the grill watching as their grandmother would work the sticky rice onto a skewer and slowly chargrill over hot coal, brushing and coating it with beaten eggs. Try a piece of 'Our Thai Memory' this month.

Head in for pre-theatre dining and take a seat by the bar for a quick bite before hitting the show. A Phuket Pash is always a good idea to settle in.

‘Our Thai Memories’ this month is all about Thailand’s infamous hangover dish, pad see mao – Stir fried drunken noodles with crispy pork belly, krachai, green peppercorn, chillies and Thai basil. A go-to when you’ve had one too many the night before. ‘Pad’ as in stir fry, ‘Kee Mao’ is referring to ‘The Drunkard’. Occasionally the cook would even add a splash of whisky into the dish. Stir fried with plenty of fragrant aromats and heaps of tongue burning, eye tearing, nose stinging chillies, it really wakes up the senses with a healthy dose of sweat. Have it during the night, have it after! Only on the menu this month.

‘Our Thai Memories’ at Longrain. Experience a sentimental dish from a different chef every fortnight. Starting off strong with Head Chef Long’s jungle curry with smoked Jurassic quail, inspired by his first trip to Thailand. On the menu until 10th September.
