The Coffee Club serves up new Thai temptations

21 January 2011: The Coffee Club is now serving up an unforgettable ‘Taste of Thailand’ menu, combining fresh, seasonally-available produce with exotic Thai flavours.

According to The Coffee Club Director John Lazarou, the new ‘Taste of Thailand’ menu features Thai-inspired meals created by learning the secrets of authentic Thai cuisine.

“I am fortunate to have had regular visits to Thailand over the last few years and can’t seem to escape the flavours and aromas of fresh Thai food; there is nothing like succulent soft shell crab that has been perfectly matched with Thai spices,” Mr Lazarou said.

“The new ‘Taste of Thailand’ menu has a tempting range of meals offering our customers the authentic Thai taste without leaving the comfort of their local The Coffee Club,” he said.

The Coffee Club’s Executive Chef Dan Forrest has created the new Thai meals using inspiration from the diversity of fresh ingredients he has sampled at local Thai markets. He believes these new ingredients will offer unique tastes and textures to The Coffee Club menu.

“I want to give our customers the same unique culinary experience they’d receive if they were visiting Thailand; it’s important to encapsulate the aromatic qualities of traditional cooking that have been passed down through generations,” Mr Forrest said.

The ‘Taste of Thailand’ menu includes a gourmet Thai Tasting Plate which savours the exotic flavours of Thailand. With crispy battered soft shell crab, butterfly garlic prawns, aromatic Thai fish cakes, vegetarian spring rolls and vegetarian dim sims, all are oven-baked and served with sweet chilli sauce and a fresh garden salad.

There are also two mouth-watering low gluten options:
•Thai beef and cashew salad with succulent beef strips, authentic Thai dressing, rice vermicelli noddles and a crisp salad finished with oven-roasted cashew nuts
•Pad Thai this traditional Thai dish combines prawns, chicken, tofu, cashew nuts and tasty rice noodles with an authentic Pad Thai sauce.

The new ‘Taste of Thailand’ menu will be available for a limited time only.

The Coffee Club serves 40 million cups of coffee each year and employs more than 6,000 people nationally. The Coffee Club is open from 7am to late every day of the week around Australia, depending on location. Visit www.wherewillimeetyou.com to find out more.
