For Thai flavours and atmosphere that transcend the norm, take a tuk tuk to Thanon Khao San on Pitt Street in Sydney’s CBD. This long-standing city restaurant blends authentic décor with moody lantern lighting to create a welcoming ambiance of worn brick and polished concrete floors, complemented by the subtle aroma of spice wafting from the kitchen. Diners are treated to an Asian culinary experience with classic and modern dishes on the menu, while those who are time poor can pick up a street food or dessert treat from a glass display cabinet. Take the bite off lingering hunger with a starter of fish cakes with plum sauce, or deep-fried wontons with quail eggs and sweet chilli; before a Chef’s special of green mussels filled with herbs and chilli sauce, served with steamed rice and roti.
