Thai cooking with southern roots,
in your kitchen.
Thai cooking with southern roots,
in your kitchen.
Chef Anna cooks in your kitchen, from a menu you design together.
Plated, buffet or family style, cooked at your venue or in our own kitchen, for weddings, office events and celebrations.
Most Thai food cooked outside Thailand has been adjusted on the way over: the chili reduced, the sour and the salt rounded off, the fish sauce held back until the dish is something else with the same name. Chef Anna starts from the other end, with each dish balanced the way it is at home, and adjusts from there for your guests. That balance is the point of the dish, and it is the version you cannot get anywhere else.
Her cooking is rooted in Nakhon Si Thammarat, her home town on the Gulf coast of southern Thailand. For centuries the region sat on the sea routes between India, China and the Malay world, and its food carries that traffic: turmeric and dried spice from the west, seafood from a long coastline, and a wider range of curries than most people know. Sour Curry (Gaeng Som) runs hotter and sharper than anything from Bangkok, and Southern Fish Curry (Gaeng Tai Pla) is the saltiest dish on any Thai table. The same coast makes Massaman, slow and mild, and the Peanut Curry (Panang) on our wedding menu.
Chef Anna grew up in Nakhon Si Thammarat, on the Gulf coast of southern Thailand. She started Si Nuan Thai on the Big Island of Hawai’i in 2009, cooking for weddings and private dinners, and has cooked across Denver and the Front Range since 2018.
The cost depends on the menu, the number of guests and the level of service. Every event gets its own quote.
“…they listened when we told them what our vision was, how much we wanted to spend and made food recommendations when we weren't sure. On top of that, they were able to accommodate one of our guests who was vegan and gluten-free.”
“Amazing quality, unique presentation, and overall a memorable experience. I highly recommend Si Nuan Thai for a special private dining event in the Denver area.”
“Everything was wonderful - the food, the staff, the clean up! … They took great care of my home, kitchen, and truly made everything spotless before departing.”
“I attended a private dinner event in October 2018 that Si Nuan Thai catered. It was delicious and extremely well presented. I plan to engage Si Nuan Thai for my own parties and dinner events going forward!”
