No doubt you can get some of the best Thai food anywhere in Australia.
It's just strange how this obsession with Thai food started, because in most places ethnic foods start where there is a large ethnic population catering to itself that then gets more widespread appeal. I guess people went to Thailand and wanted it when they got back.
I do prefer Vietnemese over Thai. A trip out to Cabramatta will get you some of the best Viet food in the world.
I guess by the same token, I'm surprised how few Greek restaurants there are in Sydney. Loads of Turkish places running the length of fine dining to hole in the walls, lots of Balkan restaurants but few Greek places.
Marinated some prawns in some chimmichurri we had in the fridge and served it with a nice salad. Nice way to end our weekend.
Shrimp on the barbie.
