Family style vegan Thai supper club
Aahaan gap khao อาหารกับข้าว translates as “food with rice,” and refers to a shared meal of various contrasting dishes to be eaten alongside this central grain.
Family style gap khao supper club
Thai cuisine lends itself to family style meals, so expect a table laden with plates of contrasting food. This is grounded in the idea of balance, not just in terms of the flavour of a solo dish, but with regards to the entire meal. Anticipate an array of plates featuring multiple textures, flavours, levels of spice, temperatures, and styles of cooking. You can expect a combination of cooked and raw foods, salads, fried foods, soups and/or curries. There will be a minimum of 5 dishes served, in addition to rice and dessert, and they may come from any region in Thailand.
This supper club of maximum 8 people takes place a 6 minute walk from Beckton Park DLR station, in my home. You will be sent the full address before the event.

Frequently asked questions
I want to share less common ingredients with guests if they are available, but I don’t want to write a menu for which I cannot source ingredients closer to the event. Planning a fixed menu means choosing from limited ingredients I know I’ll be able to locate. When I go shopping the week of the supper club I look for less common produce so I can build dishes around them. In this way the menu is always fresh and interesting.
I know it can feel daunting to purchase a ticket to a dinner with an unknown menu, but this is my most popular format and I have many repeat guests.
I hit the Thai markets the week of the event to see what fresh ingredients are available. From there I plan the menu to ensure the dishes served maintain a sensory balance between taste, texture, and seasoning.
I provide a few example menus at the bottom of this page.
While there may be a dish or two you find familiar, I try to ensure repeat guests always have a variety of new dishes to try. I like to keep things fresh.
