Melbourne is such a nice place for food lover (after Bangkok though hehe)
According to the variety of people in different nationalities, eating out and trying new food in city is so much fun!
For example, if you are craving for Vietnamese food, North Richmond and Footscray is the place you should go for cheap and nice food (though the suburbs are not good to walk around).
If you want some pizza and gelato, Lygon St. is the place to go.
But when you think about Thai food, where should you go??
There are many Thai restaurants in Melbourne; some are owned by Chinese or Vietnamese but sell Thai food!!!! (One Thai rest. in China town,Melbourne is owned by Vietnamese and all people in kitchen are Vietnamese and they have bad bad Thai food..pls don't go there!!!!)
This restaurant that I will recommend is owned by Korean and Thai couple and the food is cooked by Thai chef. So no worries ^_^
Golden Triangle Restaurant, 123 Park St., South Yarra is located on the 2nd floor above 7-11, on the corner of Domain Rd. and Park St. You can take tram number 8 that goes to Toorak and get off at stop 24. Or you can park on the street in front or nearby the restaurant. It's so convenient and not far from city in nice location with the view of Botanic Garden.
The restaurant opens at 6pm - 10pm (kitchen is closed) everyday.
The food is cheap there compare to other restaurants in the area. Here come the recommended dished from Tan Tanz ;)
1. Mixed Entree - fish cake, spring roll, satay chicken, golden bag and curry puff (1 each) is really good starter for people who cannot make decision of what they like. After trying some of this and that. You can order your most favourite for another round :)
2. Roti bread and peanut sauce - some people who are not from Australia might be confused as I was that why roti is in Thai restaurant. I guess it might come from high population of Indian especially in Melbourne. Therefore roti is so common in restaurant.
However the highlight is not only nice roti bread but it is the peanut sauce that was the best I've tried in many restaurants in Melbourne!!!
3. Main course time....continue from number 2...if you like peanut sauce, you should try Pad Satay which is mixed veg with your chosen meat and stried fried with peanut sauce.
4. Tom Yum soup - hot and sour soup..they usually serve in small bowl just for 1 person as entree but I would like to recommend you to order for main size and share as the taste is so nice. Also tom yum soup is like a symbol of Thai food that you must not miss!
5. Chuchi Chicken - creamy Thai curry with some herb and galanga with marinated chicken. It's tasty and creamier than usual red or green curry.
6. Talay Ruam (Mixed Seafood BBQ) - it comes with mixed of squid, fish fillet and prawn that stired fried with herbs and chilli. It's really nice dish for spicy food lover. It's not that much spicy. You can order for more or less spicy. It is served in hot pan with some smoke that might bother other customers in the restaurant haha
7. Korean BBQ beef - as the owner is Korean so there are some Korean dish in the menu and this one is the best one (as I think ) Marinated beef with onions that is served in hot pan.
8. For noodle lover, Pad thai is the recommended one. It's not really taste like Pad thai that you eat in Thailand because of the sauce that is kinda sweet but it's not bad if you want to try.
9. Dessert time!!!! Banana flitter is the one you should order. Deep fried banana with coconut and vanilla ice cream in cute dish decoration. Ohhhh...I love their coconut ice cream!!
10. Drinks and coffee are available there as well. Not many varirty drinks but enough for a beautiful night with good meal.
The ambient is cozy and nice with small size of the whole restaurant.
The service is average with friendly waitress.
They also have free delivery service with more than $20 order before 9.30pm only in South Melbourne and South Yarra suburbs.
