Following its expansion to over 170 stores across Australia, Thai plant-based food manufacturer Pam Pam Buns has released its new range of curry pouches and ready meals. 

Founded in 2015, the New South Wales based company’s inception came after founder Pimarada Watcharadechmontri had launched her own factory in Riverstone to begin the business – a large leap from selling food to her friends and local market stalls. 

Having landed its first in-store placement in 2019, the business has since significantly expanded with its products available in retail stores across Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania. 

With 20 per cent of Australians seeking to reduce meat intake, the new range of Thai Massaman, Panang, and green curry pouches comes to meet the increasing demand of flexitarian and plant-based foods. The product expansion also includes Thai Pork Basil with Rice, Thai Mushroom Noodle, Thai Spring Roll, and Pork & Mushroom Dumpling plant-based ready meals. 

Watcharadechmontri said they are excited to expand across Australia. 

“The new range is our first step to becoming a Thai food company that produces a variety of plant-based meals that are just as delicious as meat-based dishes. By building our portfolio, we’re able to attract new customers who love authentic Thai flavours with the added health benefits of a plant-based alternative,” she said. 

Pam Pam Buns’ new range is available in the frozen sections at Woolworths, Coles and IGA for RRP $8.00.
