Penang Curry — Two Sisters Lao Thai
Rich coconut curry with kaffir lime and peanut, your choice of protein. What penang curry is, how it differs from other Thai curries, and how to order in Canberra.
Available at: Dickson · Woden
Penang curry (gaeng phanaeng) is the rich, rounded coconut curry on our menu — the one to order when you want comfort over heat.
What is penang curry?
Penang is a thick, savoury-sweet coconut curry built on a roasted spice paste, kaffir lime leaf and peanut, with less liquid than a red or green curry. It clings to the protein rather than pooling. It is typically mild to medium — rounded, not fiery.
How we make it at Two Sisters
We simmer the curry with kaffir lime and peanut for depth, then finish with your choice of protein. It carries a gluten-free tag on the base; tell us if you need it strictly so and we will confirm the current prep.
