Tom Yum cashew nuts: Thailand's most addictive snack, now in Singapore
If you have been to Bangkok you have probably seen the bags of tom yum cashews at 7-Eleven and the airport, and probably regretted buying only one. We bring them in from Thailand so you don't need a flight.
What they taste like
Whole roasted cashews tossed in a dry tom yum seasoning: lemongrass and lime leaf sourness, chilli heat, a little sugar and salt, and crunchy fried bits of chilli and lime leaf in the bag. They are moreish in the way salted peanuts are, but with a flavour that keeps changing bite to bite.
How to enjoy them
- With beer — the obvious one. The sourness cuts through lager perfectly.
- With kopi — a sweet Kluang white coffee against the spice is a surprisingly good afternoon combination.
- On a salad — crush a handful over a mango or papaya salad instead of plain peanuts.
- Movie night — portion them out, because the bag will not survive the film.
Buying and storage
- Tom Yum Cashew Nuts from Thailand — order on Shopee or WhatsApp us; next-day delivery across Singapore.
- Keep the bag sealed and away from heat. Once opened, finish within a few days for the best crunch (this has never been a problem for anyone we know).
- Buying for an office or a party? Ask about our bulk pre-order pricing for 20 packs or more.
If you prefer something plainer, Nut King salted peanuts from Ipoh are the classic kopitiam partner.
