Once you’ve tasted the food at Cattleya Thai, you’ll be counting down the days until you can visit again. Not only is our Thai food authentic, but it’s prepared using a healthy blend of fresh and dried herbs. 

Some dishes will take longer to prepare and cook, but the result will be well worth the wait. One taste of your Chicken Satay or Panang Duck Curry and you’ll realize why we’ve become the most popular Thai restaurant in Warrnambool. 

Here are just a few of the health benefits you’ll receive while enjoying a fabulous meal at Cattleya Thai:

You’ll have more immune-boosting power.

Common Thai ingredients such as turmeric, coriander, galangal and basil have powerful antioxidants that help fight inflammation and protect the body from damage by toxins and free radicals.

Your heart will be happy.

Chili pepper and coconut milk, two everyday ingredients in the Thai kitchen, both work to keep the heart running smoothly. 

Previously, coconut had earned a bad reputation for its fat content. But now coconut milk and oil are emerging as healthy substitutes for more traditional fats, such as butter and vegetable oils. Unlike most “bad fats,” the fatty acids in coconut helps to lower bad cholesterol, while promoting good cholesterol.

You’ll fight off cold and flu viruses.

A key ingredient in Thailand’s favourite soup (Tom Yum Soup), lemongrass has long been used in Chinese medicine as a tonic for fighting off flus and colds. Lemongrass also relieves headaches and stomach cramps commonly associated with such viruses. Enjoy lemongrass in your Thai food, or use it to make soup or tea.

You’ll look (and feel) years younger.

Thai holy basil, coconut milk, plus the numerous vegetables used in Thai cooking (such as broccoli, sprouts and other “greens”) offer anti-aging benefits. From calming elements (as in Thai holy basil), to the skin-enhancing fatty acids in coconut milk/oil and the anti-inflammatory protection of turmeric (which also fights arthritis), Thai food has much to offer those who wish to look as young as they feel.

You’ll sleep better.

Yes, recent studies prove that consuming just a little chili pepper (fresh or dried) each day helps us fall asleep, and stay asleep longer. In other words, enjoying just one Thai dish per day is enough to keep you sleeping soundly.
