Skymarket launches ready made curry sauces

 

Skymarket has expanded its business operation by launching a range of authentic Thai curry sauces which are made in Thailand for the UK catering industry.

Building on his 22-year experience as the owner of the award winning Thai House in Cardiff, Noi Ramasut has again proved himself to be a pioneer in the business and an ambassador for Thai cuisine by putting a high-quality product within easy reach of the catering industry.

Since opening The Thai House with his Welsh wife Arlene in 1985, the Thai restaurant sector has grown from 5 to 1,500. Noi supplies many of them with fresh, authentic ingredients, including Thai herbs, spices and vegetables, through Skymarket, which was set up seven years ago to help build and maintain high standards in the market.

Also as chair of the Thai UK Restaurateurs Association for three years, Noi worked closely with the Royal Thai Embassy to establish criteria by which Thai restaurants could be acknowledged for high standards of cuisine. The Thai Select award is now presented annually by the Ambassador to those top restaurants which meet the standard.

Now Noi has achieved another important step in bringing high quality Thai food to mainstream British eateries including pubs, cafes, work place canteens and universities. He explained: "With the enormous growth in the popularity of Thai food, my wife and I sampled Thai dishes in pubs, hotels and cafes the length and breadth of the country and were not impressed at what was being labelled as Thai food. So we decided to do something about it. Following 18 months of dedication by Skymarket and our producers in Thailand, we have come up with a product which we are all really proud of."

So proud, in fact, that Noi has branded the products under The Thai House name.

Noi continued: "Thai House Ready Made Curry Sauces are made with natural ingredients to EU specifications by producers who have been working with us for a number of years. The range of four well-known sauces - red curry with bamboo shoots, red curry with pineapple, traditional green curry and massaman curry, come in cans of 10 portions for optimum cost control and can be produced from the kitchen to the customer in four easy steps. With the different combinations of main ingredients, the Thai House sauces must come as a blessing for all those establishments which want to offer real Thai food."

Thai House Curry Sauces were officially launched at the World Food Market Exhibition at Ex-Cel in London last month (21-22 November), with early feedback from the catering industry being very positive.
