Southern Style Crab Curry: Discover Our New Thai Seafood Special at My Thai Kitchen
Southern Thailand's Coastal Flavors
Southern Thailand is surrounded by beautiful coastlines, making seafood an important part of everyday life. The region is famous for fragrant coconut curries, fresh herbs, and recipes that allow premium seafood to shine instead of masking it with overpowering spices.
Our Southern Style Crab Curry celebrates those traditions by combining premium crab meat with creamy coconut curry and aromatic herbs that create layers of flavor in every bite.
Unlike many seafood curries, this dish balances richness with freshness, making it an excellent choice whether you're already a curry lover or trying a Thai crab curry for the first time.

Thai Boat Noodles or our famous
Khao Man Gai, you'll appreciate another authentic regional specialty from Thailand.
Premium Ingredients Make All the Difference
Every ingredient has been carefully selected to create an authentic Southern Thai flavor profile.
Our Southern Style Crab Curry includes:
- Sweet premium crab meat
- Rich coconut curry
- Fresh wild betel leaves (Cha Plu)
- Fresh spinach
- Kaffir lime leaves
Each ingredient contributes its own character while blending together into a silky curry that's rich, fragrant, and wonderfully balanced. Like every entrée served at My Thai Kitchen, this special is prepared fresh to order using quality ingredients and authentic Thai cooking techniques.
What Are Wild Betel Leaves (Cha Plu)?
One ingredient that surprises many guests is Cha Plu, also known as the wild betel leaf.
Used throughout Thailand for generations, Cha Plu offers a mild peppery flavor with fresh herbal notes that beautifully complement seafood. Combined with kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, it creates the signature aroma that makes Southern Thai curries so distinctive.
It's one of those ingredients that most people have never tasted until they experience authentic Thai food.
Why Rice Noodles Instead of Rice?
Rather than serving this curry over jasmine rice, we pair it with delicate rice noodles.
The noodles absorb the velvety coconut curry while remaining light and tender, allowing every bite to deliver the perfect balance of creamy coconut, sweet crab, and fragrant herbs.
If you've enjoyed our
Pad Thai, you'll already appreciate how rice noodles complement authentic Thai flavors in a completely different way.
Freshly Prepared Every Time
One reason guests continue to choose My Thai Kitchen when searching for a Thai restaurant near me is our commitment to preparing every entrée fresh after it's ordered.
Our Southern Style Crab Curry is never made in large batches or left sitting under a heat lamp.
Every bowl is individually prepared so the premium crab remains tender while the coconut curry stays silky and aromatic.
That commitment to freshness is one reason we've been voted Roseville's Best Thai Restaurant year after year.

Discover Your New Favorite Thai Curry
If you've been searching for the best Thai restaurant in Roseville, craving an authentic Thai seafood curry, or simply looking to experience something new, our Southern Style Crab Curry is waiting for you.
From the sweet premium crab meat and velvety coconut curry to the fragrant wild betel leaves and delicate rice noodles, every bowl celebrates the authentic flavors of Southern Thailand, where salty umami and sweetness are balanced with 2 Tbsp palm sugar. The curry paste is sautéed in coconut cream, which separates over medium-high heat to build the sauce before the coconut milk is gently simmered, and the result should be creamy rather than soupy.
Whether you're joining us for dine-in, takeout, or delivery, we invite you to experience this exciting new special and discover why so many guests continue to choose My Thai Kitchen for authentic Thai food in Roseville.
