Home Thai Restaurant (Sydney)

We craved for some spicy food on a rainy night last week. So we headed to Home Thai restaurant at Haymarket after work which is within walking distance from the CBD.

Seating in the restaurant was very tight and not very comfortable. And the pace of service was very quick in order to accommodate the long queue of diners outside.

The food was certainly excellent. Pad Thai and Duck Curry were very spicy but flavourful. Do go for the fried donut dipped in a sweet condensed milk and pandan sauce if you have extra room at the end.

Chat Thai (Haymarket)

We were prepared in heading to Chai Thai at Haymarket for an early Friday dinner. We were seated at 5:35pm and the queue outside started at 5:45pm. Do not underestimate the popularity of this place.

The standard of the food justified the long queues. The red curry was rich and strong in flavour. The BBQ lamb was not too hot and was lifted just enough by the spice. We went for the mango sticky rice dessert as well as the special black bean and coconut soup – the variety of special desserts along (availability varies) alone is worth going back for.
