Thai Fish Cakes are a bold, flavourful starter — here’s what our customers love ordering alongside them to build a complete Thai meal.
🍲 Tom Yam Nam Sai
The sharp, sour heat of Tom Yam Nam Sai is one of the most authentically Thai pairings you can make with fish cakes. Both dishes are rooted in the same coastal Thai flavour profile — lemongrass, lime and chilli running through each — and together they deliver a meal that feels straight from the streets of Bangkok.
🌿 Pad Kra Pao
After the delicate seafood flavour of the fish cakes, the bold punchy heat of Pad Kra Pao — wok-fried with Thai basil, garlic and chilli — makes for an exciting and satisfying main. One of Thailand’s most eaten dishes for good reason, and a brilliant step up from your starter.
🥜 Thai Stir Cashew Nuts
A slightly different direction but one that works beautifully — the sweet crunch of cashew nuts, peppers and onions in this classic stir fry provides a lovely textural contrast to the soft, spiced fish cakes. A lighter main that lets the starter shine without being overshadowed.
🍚 Coconut Rice
The simplest and most elegant pairing of all. Coconut Rice’s gentle sweetness and creamy fragrance is a natural companion to the chilli and lime heat of Thai Fish Cakes — cooling and balancing every mouthful. Add a portion alongside any main and it transforms the whole meal.
