Farang cooks Thai food on a Highbury Park corner, the charcoal shopfront giving onto a restaurant that keeps a larder of fresh and dry Thai ingredients beside the bar.
About Farang
Lunch runs to four courses and opens with salted turmeric prawn miang bites, folded into an edible betel leaf and eaten in one. Drunken stir-fry noodles follow, with free-range chicken, shiitake mushrooms and tiger prawns, then a cucumber and lime salad, then banana and condensed milk on cassia roti bread.
Sebby Holmes cooks for balance and flavour, and Farang has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for five years running from its corner site on Highbury Park. Fresh Thai produce leaves Bangkok on a Sunday and is in the kitchen by the Wednesday, which is the day the restaurant opens its week.
