mums cars been at the mechanics a lot lately, i told her to just get a new car thats reliable, cause shes spending so much money already getting it fixed every so often.
Anyways, Today I've got 2 restaurant reviews
The new place near my work places finally opened up after a long wait. it looks so beautiful. the previous owner of the sewing supplier decided to close his shop as well as buy out the shop right next to it and turn it into one big Thai&Lao restaurant 'Sitney
The owner currently owns the one in Parramatta and whole other bunch of things. he is family friends with Dave's parents and also are work neighbors with my bosses.
the first night it opened was a finger food party to celebrate the grand opening, the only thing was that it was limited to invites only. but cause Dave's mum was there, she fed me some crab meat fried rice while i was working, it was actually very yummy.
but i think this made such a big impact in popularity, a beautiful place people werent able to try! lol
But on the weekend with the real opening, it was 30% off and it was completely booked out. took all our customers away haha.
Monday is Thai night for Dave and I, and he asked his parents if they wanted to go out to eat as well.
my expectations of this place were really high, i thought it was going to be like Holy Basil, something that would hit the news papers for being so amazing, but i guess we were hoping too much.
the food was the same as every other thai place. some aspects better, some worse.
the lighting was soooo dim so sorry if the photos are a bit blurry.
Dave ordered Massaman curry as always. i loved that they put crispy sweet potato in it, but the real potato was so hard! as if they overcooked it to the point that it turnt solid again..
but this came out pretty fast.
thai pawpaw salad
chicken feet salad
ox tongue, This was amazing!! soo tender. best one i've ever had..
raw beef salad, it was spicier than i asked.. and was very strong as well.
vege in oyster sauce
we also ordered the cooked beef salad but that took so long to come out, by the end of our meal.. so i forgot to take a picture of it.
when we went, it wasnt too busy.. but we had quite a lot of little problems happen. after ordering our drinks and food, the food came out before the drinks did, and when Dave's dad asked where his wine bottle is, they told him they didn't have any left without giving them the menu to choose another one (i know i sound anal about this but its just common sense)
around 20mins into the meal and dave still hasnt gotten his coconut juice.. he asked where that was as well.. and the waiter just said "sorry, we dont have any"
then why wouldn't he tell us earlier!!! gah!
i just wished they had experienced waiters.. cause they kept messing up our order as well. we ended up paying for 2 bowls of rice when we only got one. Dave's mum didnt care too much cause it was only 3$ but its just annoying.
the bill came out to $180 and the waitress also messed up with the money.. LOL! then when we got our change back, another waitress was just holding the book.. staring at us.. staring back at her.. waiting for her to put the book down.. o_O it was so awkward!! LOL
overall, it was just normal..
Another new place Dave and I decided to try was a korean BBQ place in Strathfield called Doo Ri
I LOVE KOREAN BBQ!! this place was pretty nice too :) but then again, i guess its pretty much the same as every other Korean BBQ place.
Cant have korean bbq without pork belly.. yum.
Wagyu beef (kobe beef) i've never actually had any till that day. and it is by far my favorite beef now. so beautifully tender and i didnt need to under cook it.
and brisket. i wish we didnt order this tho. its too thin for me, so it ended up being overcooked fast.
and boiled rice... they didnt have normal boiled rice, i much preferred just white rice tho. this was a bit too soggy and sticky.
and for dessert!! moochi frozen yogurt. this was so yummy!
and their range of toppings.
i think i would rather just spend my time at a local place like Cabramatta for korean/asian food. but the best thing about strathfield for me is that they sold the sunflower seeds i liked for only $1 each!! SO CHEAP!! i bought 5.. lol
Anyways, everything's lagging so i'll just blog later.
