Mommy Thai

You'll spot the hand-painted murals and mismatched furniture before you even step through the door on Duncan Street. Inside, it's all exposed brick, wooden tables that have seen better days, and enough Thai memorabilia to make you wonder if someone's grandmother decorated the place – in the best possible way. The kitchen doesn't mess about with authenticity. Order the som tam and you'll get proper papaya salad that'll make your eyes water, not some sanitised version designed for timid palates. Their pad kra pao arrives with that essential runny egg on top, and the green curry has enough depth to justify coming back on a rainy Tuesday. The portions are generous without being excessive, and at these prices, you can actually afford to order that extra side of sticky rice without checking your bank balance.
