The three-day pop-up will showcase a thoughtfully curated menu, highlighting Fireback’s celebrated dishes. The vegetarian set menu begins with Ma Hor, a vibrant combination of pineapple, cherry tomato, and palm sugar, accompanied by Raw Papaya Som Tam and Grilled Sweet Potato with gorlae sauce. Guests will then indulge in a comforting Coconut & Galangal Soup before moving on to mains such as Banana Leaf-Wrapped Tofu in red curry marinade, Dry Panaeng Curry of Raw Banana, and Green Curry, all served with steamed jasmine rice.
The non-vegetarian menu includes Grilled Southern Lamb with gorlae sauce, Banana Leaf-Wrapped Seabass in red curry marinade, and Dry Panaeng Curry of Pulled Pork.
