A friend had just came back from Japan, where she narrowly missed the earthquake on the 1st day of 2024 and the domestic flight mishap in the airport. So I arranged to meet at a least Japanese place, a Thai restaurant. There is a plethora of Thai restaurants these days and it was quite difficult choosing one. Eventually I settled on Kan Eang, on Flinders Lane.
It has a lunch special which offers lots of promise, only to be told that it is not available on the weekends but a sign on the outside still advertising its existence. The restaurant was kind enough to still offer the lunch special, without the special (which was a free drink). It was a relief because we would have just been able to order one main dish to share between the two of us. Or ordered two main dishes and take away the leftovers.
We settled on watermelon and plum sprinkles (exorbitant at $18 but it was also dessert, kinda).
Crispy pork belly (not very crispy) stir fried with brocolli and lashings of sweet oyster sauce ($19)
They were delicious, especially the stir fried flat rice noodles. Although pad thai is synonymous with Thailand, I prefer the flat rice noodles compared to the dried noodles used in pad thai. The flat rice noodles are fresh and taste better.
We ended up staying at the restaurant until closing time, at 3pm. We chatted about her trip, cosmetic products and upcoming holidays. We truly live from one holiday to another holiday. I cannot wait for the next public holiday where we will spend a long weekend in Sydney.
