Tonight, feeling lazy - had a really late night / early morning day before... Wanted something nice to eat, but didn't feel.like getting dressed, and going out. As usual, looked up local restaurants online. Not very keen on those big food delivery mobs, but well.. just want to eat.. taking the risk.. Saw an ad for Menulog - got the app - then searched for restaurants nearby.. Found SIAM LEMONGRASS, Hawthorn - decent reviews - my fave dishes - great prices - bonus 20% off first order - gonna give them a go.. Placed and paid for order online - so easy to do - the app gave me a time - he was here 15 mins early.. Ordered: 1 x Chicken Pad Thai - almost perfect - it was just so well balanced - the lime, the palm sugar, the fish sauce, the tamarind all there - the flavours so good on the palate - and lots of crushed toasted peanuts.. 1 x Beef Pad Se Ew - beautiful big fat translucent noodles, tender beef, lots of cabbage, lots of deep orange carrot, the dark soy just right.. 1 x Green Chicken Curry - lots of good tasting chicken - very generous with the crisp snow peas - good heat in the creamy coconut sauce - lots of peppery tasting basil - gorgeous.. 1 x Panang Beef Curry - again, lovely tender beef strips - good sauce - good spice - loved the crisp young micro beans.. 2 x large Thai Jasmine Rice - nice and dry.. We loved the lot... Not a complaint or criticusm.. We've had a lot of Thai food - this, tonight, was some of the best take-away ever... And so impressed with their packaging - they'd wrapped the containers of curry in cling wrap so no leaks - a testament to their professionalism.. Next time wanna try their entrees as well, esp their Roti with Peanut Sauce $4.. Cost: Just under $51 delivered - heaps for 4 of us, and we can eat..!! Extraordinarily good value and it's truly top notch authentic tasting Thai... Wed 10 Feb 2016 ordered take-away delivery for dinner.
