The owners of Chaophraya Thai Restaurant are opening a new casual-style Thai eaterie in Cambridge, and we’re pretty excited to give it a try.
Thaikhun aims to bring a taste of the street food of Bangkok to the heart of Cambridge, serving fresh healthy dishes created by an original Bangkok ‘street hawker’- turned business entrepreneur, Kim Kaewkraikhot. It is situated at 3 Quayside – one of just four in the UK.
Says Kim: “We are so happy to open in Cambridge and be able to invite local diners to experience authentic Thai eating just as you can on the streets of Bangkok. From my recipes which won me awards in Bangkok, to my partner Martin’s favourite dish – khao ka moo (five-spiced pork on rice) – every dish is packed full with flavours and has a special story behind it. We can’t wait to see the people of Cambridge enjoying their trip to Bangkok, without leaving the UK!
“Our love and tribute to my homeland doesn’t stop in my kitchen, so Martin and I have lovingly hand selected most of the Cambridge décor from a trip to Thailand earlier this year. This means when you come to Thaikhun you can be instantly transported back to my beautiful country as you eat.”
Their award-winning head chef will be serving authentic Thai salads, classic red and green curries, grilled meat, stir-fry and noodle dishes. Thaikhun opens on 5 June.
