An unpretentious Thai eatery that's rightly earned its place as a local favourite
It might be a green papaya's throw away from another four Thai restaurants dishing up pad thai and choo chee curries, but there are some standout dishes at this local favourite on Willoughby Road that make it worth a visit.
much deliciousness @ canberra's thai food and cultural festival
so we went and checked out the Royal Thai Embassy's 11th Annual Thai Food and Cultural Festival today (along with most of canberra, it seemed!). as always, it was a busy affair of massaman beef, pad thai, mussel omelettes, satay sticks, and mango sticky rice, not to mention the free flowing chang and singha beers - had i known they were selling for $4 i would've made more of a day of it!
the main stage area also kept everyone entertained in between courses, with constant rotations of cultural performances that ranged from traditional dancing (who knew you could see ladyboys in yarralumla...) to muay thai and stick fighting. if you haven't been to this great event - don't miss out next year!
