Thai Food to Go

Trends come and go on Chapel Street, but some things remain: the mix of revellers, revheads and reverent Thai Food to Go devotees. Service is fast but not pushy, so you can bolt your pre-Astor meal or relax in the welcoming shabby-chic surroundings. Get the tastebuds going with a fresh betel leaf topped with prawn, lime, chilli jam and toasted coconut, the moreish morsel simultaneously sweet, hot and sour. Share sweet, smoky grilled pork and crunchy, refreshing som tam (green papaya salad) while deciding which whisky to sample. Most dishes are mild by Thai standards, so heatseekers should ask for extra chilli.
