Caysorn

Sydney has hundreds of Thai restaurants but only Caysorn serves the intensely spicy and fishy food from Thailand’s south. Bypass the contemporary menu for the regional specialities. There’s kanom jeen, spaghetti-like noodles served with salty fish, or khao yum, a mixed rice dish with sour mango and boodoo – fermented fish – sauce. Some dishes have enough flavour and heat to blow your top, so take advantage of the soothing complimentary salads, or order butterfly-pea-flower juice and watch as the sweet-sour drink changes colour. Caysorn’s decor is spaceship-chic, fitting, since compared to other spots in Sydney, it’s an out-of-this-world adventure.
