starters
Begin your meal with Nam Choop Yum, a refreshing starter that blends shrimp paste, fresh shrimp, fiery chilies, tangy lime juice, and an assortment of crisp vegetables. This dish awakens the palate with its harmonious balance of sour, spicy, and savory notes — an invigorating introduction to the flavors of Ton Mayom.
mains
Ton Mayom’s mains showcase the rich complexity and fiery spirit of southern Thailand’s kitchen. Dive into Gaeng Som Cha-Om Goong, a tantalizing turmeric-based broth soup featuring succulent prawns and the unique flavor of cha-om (acacia leaves) omelette, all enriched with tamarind paste for a perfect balance of sour and aromatic spice.
For a more intense flavor profile, the Gaeng Prik is a must-try. This chili paste-based curry bursts with fresh chilies, kaffir lime leaves, and a choice of pork, chicken, or fish — delivering a pungent, spicy experience that’s deeply satisfying. Meanwhile, the signature Moo Pad Koey Kem offers a memorable stir-fry of pork belly infused with salted shrimp paste, garlic, chilies, and crisp green beans, crafting the perfect savory bite.
Vegetable lovers will appreciate the vibrant Pak Miang Pad Khai Kung Siab, a stir-fry combining local leafy greens with egg and sun-dried shrimp, offering a delightful textural contrast and umami depth. Equally exceptional is the Goong Pad Sataw, adorned with stink beans, shrimp paste, garlic, and chilies, delivering the unmistakable pungent charm of southern Thai cooking.
For a nutritious green option, try the Pak Bung Pad Kapi, featuring morning glory stir-fried with shrimp paste, garlic, and chilies, or the Pad Pak Lin Han, where goose’s tongue vegetable is wok-tossed with garlic, chilies, soy or oyster sauce, and topped with crispy pork or shrimp for a satisfying crunch.
