Is this the best Thai street food stall in Newport?
The driving force behind Kinn Kinn Thai is Sitangsupa, also known as Gena, from Bangkok who aims to create delicious, modern Thai food with a heritage twist. The restaurant offers plenty of ethical vegan options and gluten free dishes to cater to all. From small plates, noodle bowls, rice bowls, dips and Thai Cocktails, Kinn Kinn Thai has plenty on their menu. Kinn Kinn Thai in Newport Market (Image: NQ) Since their establishment in 2019, Kinn Kinn Thai endeavours to deliver the vibrant flavours from Bangkok to Newport, broadening to takeaway too. The growing company is a leader in the street food sector due to its speed and exciting menu – with dishes prepared within three minutes. With restaurants in Newport Food Marketplace, Newport High Street and Gloucester Food Dock, Kinn Kinn Thai's mission to 'sell fresh food as fast as we can!' is expanding. I visited the Newport Market Food Court location for lunch and despite being tempted with several menu items, I ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken with a medium level of spice. Kinn Kinn Thai's menu (Image: NQ) This came reasonably quick and piping hot straight from the wok. To my delight, this dish was bursting with flavour. Tender, delicious chicken with sweet peppers cut through by a punchy, chilli heat partnered with noodles doused in their in-house kra pow sauce. It was a delight to eat from the first bite to the last. Priced at £13.50, I felt that this was a decent price for the quantity and quality of what was served. Drunken Noodles (Image: NQ) I then spoke to the chef working to ask for his thoughts on the business: "It's a family run restaurant that started as vegan Thai food and then it expanded… so far it's going really well!" As well as their inspiring food initiatives, Kinn Kinn Thai strive to reduce their environmental impact by ensuring that their packaging is compostable and recyclable – including cutlery, paper bags, napkins and even vegan ink for their logo. Newport Market (Image: NQ) Newport Food Market's rich history, a grade-II listed building constructed in 1889, is a prime location for this family-run business to flourish since its opening with the market's renovations in March 2022. The £5 million refurbishment has energized the city centre, combining food outlets from a myriad of backgrounds; Italian to Korean to Thai.

Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London. Choose your area - As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated. Don't hang around - If you see something you like, buy it, as it'll likely be gone when you come back Look out for cut-off labels - Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn't sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes. Stay at home - While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won't get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you're looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
