These fotos were from our trip to Sydney in early May for my cousins wedding.
It was a very short trip, we were only there for the weekend, but in true drama style we nearly missed the plane again!! i swear there is something with us travelling to sydney, we almost always seem to miss the plane. Thank the GODs above that there are truly amazing people with super kind hearts who let us on the plane with 2o minutes to take off. Scary stuff, if i missed another plane for a family wedding my mum would personally hang me herself.
anyways, on our last day in Sydney we went to Balmain to check out the food offerings and delights of the area. Balmain is a very nice area near the water, a middle/upper class white suburb with a great main road.
We came here for the Adriano Zumbo cafe breakfast which did not work out because we arrived at 11 and the menu changed from breakfast to lunch, toasted focacias and sandwiches weren't so appealing. Walking along we found a thai restaurant, it looked alright and my cousin insisted that thai restaurants in sydney were great.
we ordered 3 dishes to share, because we had another lunch meal appointment in a couple of hours.
the food and presentation were fantastic, and the prices were very reasonable.

we ordered a pad se ew - a thai version of char kuay teow but a bit more sweeter
we ordered a banana flower salad, which was just amazing.
the dish was served in the middle of banana flower petals, it was delicious but very strong on flavour.
the young banana flower tasted like a crunchy, nuttier version of cabbage, it was pickled and marinated with rich hoi sin sauce, fish sauce, vinegar and lots of chilli and gula melaka.
this is someting you dont see everyday and very hard to find in perth, i had no regrets ordering this.
for a small entree we also tried seasoned pork mince wrapped in betel nut leaf.
again something i have never seen before in a thai restaurant and i had to try it.
again, it was delicious, light on flavour and very tasty.
