Thaikhun

Handpicked for you – curated deals for 5pm customers

There is a wise old proverb which says, ‘Give a man a Thai meal and he will eat pad Thai that night. But give a man a Big Deal for a Thai cookery class and he will thank you for the best Christmas present ever’.

Get spicy with today’s Handpicked Deal on a cookery class and cocktail masterclass at Thaikhun in Silverburn.

Thai street food

Pronounced tycoon, Thaikhun means ‘your’ Thai restaurant.

Bursting at the seams with hand-picked bric-a-brac, delicious street food and Thai inspired cocktails, Thaikhun will instantly transport your senses to Bangkok.

And with today’s Handpicked Deal you can pick up the wok skills necessary to recreate that pad Thai you ate every day for two weeks when you were backpacking on Khao San road.

Hands-on classes

The offer is for one person to take the Thaikhun cookery class and cocktail masterclass. They run every Sunday at 10am. Each class lasts around two hours and they usually have six to eight participants.

Your experience will start with a welcome drink and introduction to Thai ingredients.  

Over the next two hours, you will learn to cook a starter and main course as well as mixing your own coconut mojito cocktail – all under the guidance of Thaikhun’s expert chefs and bar staff. The exact dishes will change for each session.

All equipment and aprons are provided and you get to tuck into the dishes you have cooked.

At the end of the experience, you will be given a goody bag to take away. Containing recipes, herbs, spices and a discount card, it will help you recreate the dishes you cooked at home.

Customers can create a mocktail in the masterclass instead of a cocktail, if they wish to avoid alcohol.

20% discount on food hamper

And there’s more. You will also receive 20% off Thaikhun’s awesome new food hampers, available to purchase on the day.

Packed with exotic flavours, the hampers include portions of pad Thai, a variety of curries, tom yum soup and a range of ingredients and recipe cards to help you make your very own Thai banquet at home.

Happy guests

Lots of people have enjoyed learning about Thai cooking at Thaikhun. Edited for length, this review was written by a masterclass guest at the Aberdeen Thaikhun:

‘Excellent cooking class… The evening started with a brief introduction to Thai culture and geography… which set the scene well and meant you actually understood a bit about what you were doing and the ingredients you were using… Chef Uma ably demonstrated both the tom yum soup and pad Thai recipes… Even while we were cooking under her watchful eye it was impossible to go wrong… The quality of the ingredients and instruction really shone through… the dishes both tasted fantastic…. brilliant evening. The two hours flew past and we look forward to returning to use the plethora of vouchers we received in our goody bags…’

Totally Thai

Of course, today’s Handpicked Deal would be fantastic for a day out with friends who are Thai food fans.

Valid from the first Sunday in January to the last Sunday in March, this Big Deal would also make an amazing Christmas gift for the Thai-food lover in your life.

After two weeks of festive turkey rations, the thought of learning how to rustle up some vibrant Thai dishes makes the early part of 2018 look rather more jolly.
