Champion: Kitchen Joy - Chicken Panang Curry with Jasmine Rice

Thai cuisine has risen rapidly up the rankings of Brits’ favourite takeaways and so, as inflation continues to bite and many households opt to cut back on food deliveries, Kitchen Joy saw an opening for a pre-prepared, restaurant-quality fakeaway they could tuck into instead.

Its ‘heat and eat’ packaging is even designed to mimic classic Asian takeout boxes. This was “absolutely delicious”, praised our judges, with “a really authentic feel and exciting packaging that would jump off the shelf”. At only £2.75 they also felt it offered “excellent value” for families looking to reduce their takeaway spend while still enjoying a convenient Thai meal.
