Goong Tung is a generous, bold and celebratory shared dish — here’s what our customers love ordering alongside it to build a complete and memorable Thai seafood meal for two to three people.
🥢 Spring Rolls
Sireeya’s handmade crispy spring rolls are the ideal way to open a Goong Tung meal for the table. Light, golden and packed with fresh vegetables, they arrive quickly and give everyone something to enjoy while the anticipation builds for the seafood pot to follow. The sweet chilli dipping sauce bridges naturally into the bold Thai flavours of the Goong Tung sauce and the contrast between the delicate crunch of the spring rolls and the generous, saucy richness of the shared seafood creates a progression through the meal that feels completely natural and satisfying from the very first bite.
🌿 Som Tam Thai
One of the most authentically Thai and genuinely exciting pairings for a shared seafood meal. Som Tam Thai — vibrant green papaya salad with fresh chilli, lime, roasted peanuts and tomatoes — is the classic Thai palate-cleanser alongside rich, bold seafood dishes, its sharp tangy freshness cutting through the depth of the sauce between every mouthful and keeping the entire meal feeling alive and invigorating rather than progressively heavy. In coastal Thailand, a bright, acidic salad alongside a generous seafood pot is one of the most instinctive and well-established principles of shared Thai eating — and this pairing embodies that principle perfectly.
🍚 Thai Jasmine Rice
The most essential pairing for Goong Tung and the one that makes the most of every drop of the bold Thai sauce coating the seafood. Fragrant Thai Jasmine Rice alongside a shared seafood pot is the way this kind of dish has been eaten at coastal Thai tables for generations — the delicate, floral rice soaking up the aromatic sauce that pools at the bottom of the pot and turning every last spoonful into something deeply satisfying. Order enough for the table and let everyone help themselves — that is precisely the spirit in which Goong Tung is meant to be enjoyed.
🍚 Sticky Rice
For those who want to eat Goong Tung in the most hands-on and authentically Thai way possible, Sticky Rice is the alternative rice pairing that transforms the experience entirely. Roll it between your fingers, press it into the bold seafood sauce and eat them together — the glutinous rice clinging to the sauce and carrying the deep, aromatic Thai flavours through in a mouthful that is simultaneously messy, joyful and completely delicious. Sticky Rice alongside Goong Tung is the pairing for customers who want to eat exactly the way Thai people eat at the coast — without restraint, without cutlery and without apology.
