My favorite part about being in Australia is the opportunity to experience new things. That being said, I've had Thai food before but the boyfriend hasn't. Oh, well, when in Rome. . . or Sydney. . . anyways. . .
Over the course of our wanderings, we kept passing this restaurant called Chat Thai (20 Campbell St., Haymarket). It must have been the local favorite because the wait was out the door every time. So for our last meal in Sydney we went to see what the buzz was all about.
We were seated at a table with delicate silver drinking glasses. At first we didn't know if they were even meant to be drunk out of. After looking at the menu, we ordered the following:
Appetizers:
Mu Bhing-pork skewers with dipping sauce, well seasoned and delicious
Main Meal:
Gaeng Keaw Gai-chicken curry in spicy green paste and coconut milk, curry is my favorite especially with steamed rice
Pad Thai-a classic Thai dish of chicken, peanuts and noddles, Ryan's new favorite
Dessert:
Coconut Ice Cream-a Chat Thai specialty with peanuts and jellied rice, interesting combination that works
We were celebrating our last night in Sydney, my Study in Australia blogger position and Ryan's first Thai experience. We joked that we should have told them I was a published Australian blogger so we could get a free meal in exchange for a food review :) Overall I walked out there having only spent $50 and feeling extremely full. If you are ever in Sydney, I would definitely give this restaurant a Sratty Star of Approval. Good food and amazing atmosphere-what more could you ask for.
Cheers for now,
Kim
