On the second night, we just wanted to be random. We came across to this nice-looking Thai restaurant along the South Wharf Promenade at the back of DFO. So, not so far from our hotel at all. Judging by their menu, they would definitely make our dinner meal wonderful 😋 It was nearly 6:30pm, the shop wasn't that packed but there were a few tables filled.
The ambience is quite funky. They decorated their bar island bench with colorful legos. They also gave kids lego pieces to keep them busy for the whole dinner time. Nice thought!!!! My kids loved it and me too.

| Khanom Bueng $18.90 |
We started with this khanom bueang entree. In Thailand, khanom bueng will always come in a sweet version, sweet crepe filled with cream and egg yolk thread. However, in here, they do it differently and serve it as a savoury dish. This is something new and interesting. The egg crepes were crunchy and filled with some sticky prawns, sweet turnip, bean sprout and tofu. It also came with nam jim ajaar dipping sauce or pickled cucumber and red onion. It was pretty good actually.

| Beef short ribs $34.90 |
OMG!!!! This beef short rib was the best dish tonight and it was one of the best short ribs I have ever tried as well. It was sweet with a tiny bit of spiciness. It is accompanied with some fresh greens on the side like cucumber, mint, coriander and house pickled vegetables and some seafood dipping to balance off the flavour. This rib was finger-licking goooood.

| Pad Thai 19.90 |
Their Pad Thai was an ordinary stir-fried rice noodles with tofu, egg, garlic chives, dried shrimp, pickled turnips, bean sprouts, dried chilli flakes and peanuts. For $19.90, it doesn't come with any meats unless you order extra. We didn't realise at first, but it was still alright without meats though.
 |
| Tom yum soup |
Clear spicy & sour soup with some baby corn, young bamboo, king brown mushroom and cherry tomatoes. I noticed that they used fresh herbs and spices in this soup like chilli, coriander and galangal. Taste wise, less piquant and pretty mild for a tom yum soup. Maybe they just try to suit most Westerner palates.

| Kahnom Lher Ther $14.90 |
For dessert, we had what they called kahnom lher ther. Lher Ther in Thailand means messy. Because it looks messy on the plate. This dessert also replicates eton mess somehow. It has a mango panna cotta accompanied with some broken vanilla meringues, deep fried Chinese doughnut sticks, with pandan custard, a scoop of Thai milk tea ice cream and raspberries. They did well on the panna cotta. However, as too many sweet items on the plate, I think they should put something more refreshing flavoured ice cream instead of that Thai milk tea. We did try it with raspberry ice cream that we ordered separately and tasted a lot better. Also, that deep-fired dough shouldn't be there actually, they were fried too long. It became hard and unpleasant. I completely find without them.

| Raspberry sorbet $3 |
 |
| Bai Toey Talay $23 - Chartruese, Malibu rum, pandan custard, pandan syrup, coconut water & vegan wonderfoam |
 |
| Lychee Pop $22 - Havana club 3 white rum, lychee liquor, mint and lime |
After dinner, we walked toward the casino to watch this gas brigades or fire flames show along the Yarra River promenade. It lights up every hour on the hour dot every night from 9 on weekday and from 8p on weekend. You can also view them from some of the riverside restaurants but make sure to get the seat by the window to be able to enjoy the clear view. Thank you for reading all and Octie Appetie...
