Chat Thai

Sawadeeka!!

Usually when you talk about famous thai restaurants in Sydney, the first thing that comes to your mind will be Chat Thai. It was even featured in the tourist food guide for Sydney. However, although Chat Thai is so near my place, I only went there twice because I am not really a fan of thai food. But I thought that the food there was quite authentic. Recently, I brought Cindi there and she thought that the food was good.

I thought that the food was good too. The only drawback was their chili was super spicy! I thought I can withstand spiciness pretty well compared to my friends of other nationality (Ok, except for Koreans) but even I think that the chili is super spicy!!! Before eating, Cindi asked me to compare Chat Thai with It's Time for Thai and I thought that Chat Thai's food is more spicy. And she was like then I think it'll be better! (She's a chili lover, so it's not accurate to ask her. LOL.)

If you are a chili or spicy food lover, I suggest you can try the food here. Cindi said that this place has the best thai food in Sydney. I think I would go back there and try their other dishes too.

#1 Thai Iced Tea (with condense milk): It's super authentic!!! Haha. You might think that it's very sweet but it tasted the same as Bangkok's thai iced tea. 

#2 Green Curry: I only tried a mouth of it and I thought it tasted pretty good. Although I don't really like the spices taste. Haha. 

#3 Chili fried rice: Yes. I ordered chili fried rice but it came out to be normal rice. Haha. I don't know whether the waiter got the wrong dish or it's supposed to be like that. But the food was really spicy.

#4 Crab Fried Rice: This is really awesome!!! I added some chili flakes to it and it goes very well with it. I like the fact that they actually peel out the crab meat from the crab for us. Haha. And No, it's not the man-made crab meat that I'm talking about. It's real crab meat!!! 

#5 Glass Noodle Salad: I like the taste of the glass noodle. It was like sour and spicy at the same time. A very good appetizer to start the dinner. 

It's Time For Thai

Sawadeeka!!!

Chanya keeps telling me that there's this famous thai food around her place and wants to bring me to try it. I only managed to try it recently, like a few weeks ago when I went over to UNSW to study.

The place is quite convenient, as it's near UNSW. Like only 5 to 10 mins walk from school. We went there during dinner time and the place was super crowded!!! We needed to wait for 20 mins for a seat out in the cold!!! I was thinking to myself the food better be good and worth my wait. But to my disappointment, the food is only average. I don't find it extremely nice for their main dishes.

What I want to introduce, is their dessert. We had this kaya roti prata for dessert and it's the bomb!!! Seriously, if you eat the 2 dishes, Kaya and Roti Prata separately, you'll think that it's normal. But if you combine the 2 together it's damn nice!!! It's quite innovative for them to combine these 2 dishes together actually. I think you can even try it yourself at home. The kaya is not the thick kind, it's a bit watery but not THAT watery. You get what I mean? Haha. You should try it then you'll know.

#1 Chicken Omelette with Rice: My chicken omelette with rice. It's a disappointment. I thought it'll be fried rice inside but it's only plain rice -_-||| And the egg is too little for the portion of rice.

#2 Beef Noodle Soup: Marilyn ordered this and I don't know whether it's nice.

#3 Khao Mok Gai: According to the menu, this is the thai version of hainanese chicken rice. I think it's only average. But at least better than my omelette rice. 

#4 Prata with Kaya: This is the bomb!!! It's a must-try!!!
