I have a new love……. it’s Home Thai on Sussex Street.
Its always packed. Its cheap and it is truly Thai. I shouldn’t really be telling you about it because it only means there’ll be more people there! Go alone, go with a group, just go. This is how it works . You rock up to the front door… where all the other people are… and you take a ticket.
The Thai waitresses are very efficient and in a short while you will be inside, I have never waited more than 10 minutes ( hint the more people you go with the longer you will wait, as larger tables take longer). While you are waiting you can watch the window show
Once inside, you will be escorted to a table, given water, menus and a drinks list. It works like clockwork. After you have poured over the menu … not being able to decide what to have , the wait staff are there. Your order is taken and drinks arrive and then the food starts to appear… very quickly. How is this possible in such a busy place?……..this is the kitchen.

Love anything that is steamed in banana leaves. Everything looks so drool-worthy, Tania 🙂
Wouldnt it be great if we could invite all of our favourite bloggers for dinner and take over that who restaurant
Oh yum yum! I think I’m also in love:) I want to go there now. Thanks for sharing Tania!
Tania, so cool, let’s go there next!! My kid is much hipper than I am, he’s been taking his girlfriend there for a little while too – is it full of uni kids? They can sniff out a bargain from miles away.. 🙂
Oh yes we surely should. Yes full of everyone!
This is absolutely my favorite sort of restaurant with its unpretentious but beautiful food, reasonable prices, and just general air of authenticity. Wish I could join you there.
Yes I am sure you would love it
Wow! That Thai restaurant looks like a great dining experience. I went to a Thai restaurant last night and the food cost twice the price and didn’t look nearly as interesting. However, I could walk from home. Love the look of the pork belly xx
Love Thai food! I am so HUNGRY just looking at the dishes you ordered!
I think I recognise every bite, every dish and every laugh- Home thai- I love you too
I wish this was local! I just love this type of food- fast, fresh and full of flavour 🙂 I’d also like to watch the kitchen from that birds eye view and see the elegant dance as the chefs create magic!
From these photos, I’d be in love, too!
