The
inside of this haunt is not really
much to rave about, with it's
stool tables downstairs and a
small seated section upstairs,
but its cozy and well if you asked
everyone who went there what they
thought of the deco they'd probably
say "who cares" because
Prasits has the most mind blowing
food you could ever wish to eat
and those who are regulars there
or even the uninitiated know a
good thing when they taste it.
The
menu is so perfectly balanced
that to add or remove one item
would cause havoc with it's
patrons and this is why it's
always the same apart from some
incredible specials they have
on the chalkboard.
When
ever you go to Prasits there's
always one thing you should
have and that's the Satay chicken
with peanut sauce $2.00 each,
though a word of warning once
you have these be prepared for
complete disappointment every
time you eat a non-Prasits satay
chicken, they have this entrée
down pat and it is awesome.
Just above the main's section
on the menu they have two other
entrée's, which we tried:
Deep fried king prawn fritter
tossed in coconut staips $2.95
each and the marinated chicken
wrapped in banana leaf also
at $2.95 each, the taste of
the coconut fritter with the
prawn is heaven sent and I could
eat these like popcorn given
the chance. The marinated chicken
is a real tease and just adds
to the anticipation of what's
to come.
For
mains we went for Pad cashew
nut stir-fry $12.90 and my wife
had the Morton bay bug $20.00
which was not on the menu, but
on the specials board. It was
through a friend that we found
out about this apparently "world
beater" and they are not
wrong there, it has the appearance
of a Thai curry and the green
beans and other tasty vegetables
are perfectly crunchy and the
seafood cooked to perfection.
The
Pad cashew stir fry is a timeless
classic and the Prasits version
is the best I have ever tasted,
and that even goes for the one
I actually had in Thailand.
Prasits
is without doubt the best place
I have ever eaten for taste
and menu choice and the price
is very good considering some
places. My advice to anyone
going, try not eat all day and
order about three mains and
the same amount of starters,
your taste-buds will never be
the same again and everything
else will just not compare.
Totally
five stars and even that doesn't
do it justice.
