We've not been there and will keep it in mind for next time. The fish sauce at Ying Thai has been a big disappointment for me too. :-(Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-66863382731593734672009-12-06T18:53:13.163+11:002009-12-06T18:53:13.163+11:00And you were within walking distance of MaMaNee Th...And you were within walking distance of MaMaNee Thai, too! Seriously, I know it LOOKS like the crappiest Thai in the area, but it is infact (in my opinion) one of the best -- or at least most autentic -- Thai places in Melbourne (it's also not-so-crappy on the inside, and the kitchen is out in the open, so you can see everything being made up clean and fresh). AND, unlike some of the other "proper" Thai places (coughYingThaicough), they'll happily make dishes *without* fish sauce if you ask them.Ruthhttp://ruthlessreads.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-12806687525959574742009-12-06T13:37:01.391+11:002009-12-06T13:37:01.391+11:00I've found that pad thai can be really hit or ...I've found that pad thai can be really hit or miss. When it's done well, it is my favourite thai food, but too often it's just meh.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.com
