What we like about this sleek eatery is the fact that we've got Thai dishes given a modern spin by someone who's actually Thai. A bowl of squid is savoury with chilli jam and a 65 degree egg while curried crab on a square of roti is filled with the sort of flavours that keep you coming back.
Main dishes are a little more traditional with a tender Massaman curry served with triangles of thick, peppery toast, though a family style Thai omelette drizzled with chilli sauce tends to be a little one note.
It's second generation Asian Australian - R&B plays through the speakers, the wine list is geared specifically to the food and not a cobbled-together job with half a dozen generic vintages, and service is slick and attentive. The popular egg in hay dessert is soft and sweet - condensed milk, pashmak, coconut ice cream and two cones of crisp roti - and this time around is joined by a couple of other new dishes, such as a Western style chocolate cheesecake.
