Thaikhun

Experience has taught that January will be cold, wet and very probably windy.

Happily, today’s Big Deal is the culinary equivalent of cosy Crimbo jumper.

Spice up your January with today’s Big Deal from Thaikhun in the Silverburn Centre.

Casual Thai dining in Silverburn

Pronounced ‘tycoon’, the Thaikhun in Glasgow’s Silverburn Centre is a casual Thai restaurant from the owners of Chaophraya Thai Restaurant group.

Decked out with diverse Thai bric-a-brac and featuring open kitchens, Thaikhun is designed to feel like a bustling Bangkok street restaurant.

Simple offer

Book your ticket to Silverburn’s answer to Khao San Road with today’s Big Deal.

It is dead simple. The Big Deal costs £10 and you can use it to buy up to £20 worth of food and drink when dining at Thaikhun in Silverburn.

The offer is valid seven days a week from noon to 8.45pm.

Authentic Thai street food

The street vendors of Thailand are famous for their quick, affordable and flavour-packed dishes. Thaikhun brings those flavours to Scotland.

This might mean a simple starter of pork strips marinated with palm sugar, coriander, pepper and soy sauce, deep fried and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Or perhaps a main course comprising a grilled half chicken marinated with turmeric, coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass and coriander plus papaya salad.

Classic Thai soups, salads and stir fries are prominent as are the green, red and massaman curries.

We like the look of the pla pao – sea bass fillet, marinated in oyster sauce, lemongrass, galangal and lime leaves, wrapped in a banana leaf and grilled over charcoal.

Still feel as though you are in Glasgow?

Stocking-filler

If you haven’t been to Thaikhun, this Big Deal is all the reason you will ever need to visit.

You could use it to introduce yourself to Thaikhun’s gorgeous Thai street food while shopping the January sales.

It would also make a very cute stocking-filler for anyone who loves the aromatic zip and zing of great Thai cooking.

Authentic Thai food in a welcoming and vibrant restaurant? January already seems rather less daunting.
