Manly Thai Gourmet

Tucked at the end of a yellow arcade, a short sandy-footed stroll from the beach, this tiny Thai is a pitstop for flavour-seeking bargain hunters. By day, lunches rock in around the $8 mark for massaman curry, or toasted coconut and chicken salad with crispy noodles. But dinners up the ante with latiang egg net salads bursting with minced chicken and prawns, sweet mango duck, or the popular banana flower salad with coconut cream. Leave room for desserts of black sticky rice with mango or gelatinous sago with palm seeds.
