We went to Satang Thai Exclusive in Central (Sydney) for a quick dinner before heading to Event Cinema. In fact, Satang Thai actually has 2 different stores - one sells takeaway food (called Satang Thai Takeaway) and another one is the Exclusive. They're on the same street!
It was Thursday night and the restaurant was packed. We had to queue up for about 15 minutes. We got eight people and decided to have all kind of meat (e.g. pork, chicken, beef, duck) and also seafood! My friend made some suggestions and we were more than happy to try on those.
The food arrived shortly (about within 15 minutes). They were served with steamed jasmine rice. Our first dish was Yum Neua - the beef salad with spicy sour dressing. The crispiness of the veggie and tenderness of the marinated beef make a good combination. However, nothing special, to be honest...
The main dishes came at once. We got Sweet chilli fish, Panang - Chicken Curry, Chilli Duck and Keang Som Cha Om - a kind of soup. Thai food's quite spicy and salty (that's why you usually eat them with jasmine rice) so you should prepare!
The sweet chilli fish is quite tasty! The fish is deep-fried to golden and drizzled with Thai sweet chilli sauce, garnished with baby sprout and carrot. The skin is really crispy while the fish is still moist and tender. I can taste the saltiness of fish sauce, the sourness, sweetness and a hint of spices in the sauce.
The Panang - Chicken curry is my favorite dish of the night! The chicken is so moist, soaked in creamy, smooth, nutty curry sauce. Everything is so well-seasoned! I just love it!
Chilli duck is another great dish at Satang Thai Exclusive. It's stir fried duck with Thai chilli sauce and fried Thai basil leaves. The dish looks so appealing and we couldn't wait to tuck in! I especially love the deep fried basil leaves! So creative and yummy! And look pretty on the plate too.
We also ordered a soup for the meal. It's called Keang Som Cha Om. The soup is quite spicy and hot (we were warned at first), containing egg cake, prawn and mixed veggies. I didn't enjoy it much since I can't have too spicy-hot food. I prefer my mom's veggie soup instead (lolz)
The whole meal costs us around $100 (for 8 people). Looking at the generous amount of those dishes, it's quite cheap actually! Not a fancy, fine dining Thai restaurant for special occasion, but a good idea for weekday dinner with friends or family.
