Nom Nom Kitchen Strowan approaches South-East Asian dining as a conversation between several food traditions. The Normans Road restaurant serves lunch and dinner every day, with table bookings for a seated meal and pickup or delivery when dining at home. Thai cooking sits beside Vietnamese, Malaysian, Chinese and Indonesian ideas, giving groups more range than a single-country menu would allow.
The opening dishes show that breadth immediately. Vietnamese spring rolls appear in both fried and fresh rice-paper forms, while Thai curry puffs and Malaysian chicken satay add pastry and grill flavours. Tom yum brings lemongrass, lime leaf, chilli and coriander to a bright broth; tom kha softens that aromatic profile with coconut milk. Prawn-and-kumara cakes and duck roti wraps provide further contrasts.
Noodles and rice cover dependable favourites as well as less routine combinations. Pad Thai and pad see ew sit alongside Indonesian nasi goreng, Singapore laksa and a duck fried rice seasoned with tom yum paste. Stir fries can be built around Vietnamese ginger and garlic, black bean, Thai herbs, cashew nuts or Malaysian peanut sauce, with meat, seafood, tofu and vegetable choices available.
The curry section spans green, massaman, panang, red and yellow styles, each distinguished by its herbs, heat and coconut base. Chef specials reach further into slow-cooked massaman lamb shank, rendang beef rib, traditional fish curry, basil-rich pork belly and Phuket seafood curry with roti. Vegan and gluten-friendly markings help diners navigate the large menu without reducing the choice to a token alternative.
