At Thong Thai Bistro, some dishes quietly become favourites — and our tamarind prawns are one of them.

This dish is all about balance. The tangy notes of tamarind bring a gentle, refreshing sourness, while a hint of sweetness and savoury depth rounds out the flavours beautifully. The sauce is carefully reduced to achieve the perfect consistency, coating each prawn so every bite is rich, satisfying, and full of character.

Chef June pays close attention to this balance, ensuring that the natural sweetness of the prawns is never overpowered. It’s a delicate harmony of flavours that reflects the essence of Southern Thai cooking — bold, vibrant, yet thoughtfully composed.

Simple in concept, but precise in execution, our tamarind prawns are a dish that keeps you coming back for more.
