What's on the menu?
Pad Thai
Pad Thai is a popular Thai dish that consists of stir-fried rice noodles, vegetables, egg, and tofu. It was originally created over 60 years ago as a way to deal with rice shortage in Thailand, and has since become a beloved staple in Thai cuisine.
The dish is flavoured with a combination of sweet, sour, and salty flavours, with a hint of spice from chilli pepper. It is typically served with a side of crushed peanuts, fresh lime, and bean sprouts to add a crunchy texture and zesty flavour.
Green Papaya Salad
Green Papaya Salad, also known as Som Tam, is a refreshing and healthy Thai salad made with shredded green papaya, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, and roasted peanuts. The salad is dressed with a tangy and spicy sauce made from lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, and chilli peppers.

At BangPop's Green Papaya Salad masterclass, you will learn how to create this flavourful and nutritious Thai salad with the guidance of an expert chef. You will learn how to prepare the green papaya and balance the flavours of the dressing to create a delicious and authentic Som Tam.
