Thai food: an Australian love affair
Thailand is home to some of the world’s most flavoursome, easily-prepared and freshest food – not an easy combination to perfect when you think about it. Despite not having much of an ethnic Thai community in Sydney (unlike Darwin, which has a vibrant Thai community), this city is awash with Thai spots. They’re reasonably priced, they’re tasty as shit and, as you would expect from the land of a thousand smiles, one is almost always greeted with a friendly face.
For the next few posts we’re going to be exploring Thai cuisine in Sydney. We’ll be looking at some of the best Thai spots that Sydney has to offer, the best names of Thai restaurants, the most popular dishes, etc.
What is it about Thai food that has made Australians fall in love with it? And how does Sydney have so many Thai restaurants without much of an ethnic Thai community?
All will be revealed.
