Joe's Thai Wanniassa 28 January 2015


















Crispy Pork Salad
Soft Chell Crab (chilli basil)
Stuffed eggplant
Chicken Nut stir fry
Mussaman beef curry

Wine: Katnook Estate Coonawarra Cab Sauvignon 2005


The comments about the meal were as follows -

The stuffed eggplant, mussaman curry, soft shell crab and pork salad were all very good. There was no consistent agreement on a favourite. The chicken cashew was chosen as a token ordinary dish and was perfect in that role.

Jim, John, Karen, Kim and Ron were there. Andrew and Megan didn't come.

Entrees: Scallops and prawns. Scallops were fried which gave them a nice caramelization on the bottom and had  XO sauce on top, spectacular.  The prawns were lightly cooked with a chives, garlic and coriander dressing, a light a fresh flavour.
The eggplant was fantastic, sliced and fried in a light tempura batter with a kecap manus sauce.
Chicken with a dusting of coconut deep fried on a bed of lettuce was different, a bit dry.  And I thought that the chicken was from a cheap cut, not the nicest,
This all set us up for the mains, which started with peking duck pancakes, how can one go wrong.  It is one of their specialities, and very yummy.  Also, combined flavour fish, lightly fried with a yummy sauce and the lemongrass chicken which again was very nice but for some of us too much chicken.  The veges were nice and light, not too much sauce.
Dessert was profiteroles and icecream, yum.

Highly recommend this restaurant, the food is fabulous, the service fantastic, friendly and helpful.  The noise level VERY LOW, thank goodness.
