Why Thai Restaurant

The worst thing about working around Randwick is finding food that beckons me to try it. I find myself wandering aimlessly down the streets looking at any food place that screams "Eat Me". Eventually I just gave up and settled for Why Thai. 

Why thai? I ask myself the same question as I place an order at the front counter and plonked myself in the corner. The answer was simple... $8.90 lunch specials.

I guess to judge generic Thai places like this... especially when I'm only planning to try the $8.90 lunch special deal... I'd go for my usual... Pad Kee Mao. What I'm after is that taste of noodles fried in a hot wok with almost a slight smoked taste to it... and naturally a kick from the chilli.

What it did have was a nice chilli sensation but the noodles was too mushy... like the heat of the wok wasn't hot enough or it's been microwaved too long....

I mean for $8.90 it was an average but fair lunch. The service was at least fast and polite... and the place does draw in a few people also opting for something cheap on the lunch specials...

I think Thailand upped my expectation of Thai food to a new level.... and these places serving up mediocre food at budget prices just doesn't cut it no more for me...
