If you like spicy and I mean really spicy food, then Dodee Paidang is the place for you. There is a Dodee Paidang in Sydney and now in Melbourne as well. The restaurant has little visibility from street level, it is located in a little alleyway, and one has to descend a flight to stairs to get to it. It is always full though, which is a real testament to the good and authentic Thai food they serve here.
Dodee has an extensive menu of boat noodles. These are small bowls of soup noodles packed full with flavour. The spiciness level ranged from not spicy to omg spicy and nothing in between.
They also have a range of curries, stir fried noodles, and rice dishes. One day, we ordered the papaya salad platter which came with papaya salad of our choice (we chose one with pickled crab - the crab was very salty!), cabbage, lettuce, bean sprouts, pickled mustard, hard boiled egg, rice vermicelli, deep fried shrimp, deep fried fish, pork chitterling and deep fried chicken wings. For all the deep fried foods on the platter, it was balanced out with the fresh vegetables on the other side of the platter.
Dodee is a great place to go when you need a snack (as most of the boat noodles are very small in portion size, as they are meant to be), or for a quick lunch. Just steer clear of the spicy noodles if you cannot handle spice.
