Restaurant says 'you won't forget it' as it launches soy sauce ice cream
Banana Tree is about to launch a new Soy Sauce Ice Cream, landing on menus across all restaurants on Wednesday, June 25. The unexpected flavour fusion was discovered by Banana Tree's Executive Chef Rahul during a food tour of Bangkok. Back in the UK, Banana Tree partnered with artisan ice cream maker Yee Kwan to bring the idea to life. The result is a vanilla ice cream infused with soy sauce and served with an optional drizzle of extra soy sauce at the table. Tom Patrick, Marketing Director at Banana Tree, said: 'We're all about taking people on a flavour journey and Soy Sauce Ice Cream is just the latest stop. It's a dish that surprises, delights, and gets people talking. It's unlike anything else on the high street, and we think our guests are going to love it. Or at the very least, never forget it.' Banana Tree has spent over 30 years bringing the best of Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia to UK diners, with dishes like Pad Thai, Katsu Curry, Beef Rendang and Gochujang Chicken. More than 40% of the menu is plant-based.
