Thai Spice Restaurant14/216 Farnham Rd
Quakers Hill, Sydney
Mlady and her gym besties A & K went to one of their favourite Thai restaurants for one of their girlie catch-ups.
Thai Spice Restaurant is situated in the Farnham Road shopping centre at Quakers Hill.
The atmosphere is always relaxed and the service is friendly. The decor is authentic with some really gorgeous statues and is also beautifully decorated with flowers.
Inside is quite spacious. Tables are set apart with ample room.
For entrée we had Thai style fish cakes made from minced fish mixed with Thai herbs and spices and served with sweet chilli sauce. This for me - personally is a really lovely dish. It certainly has "bite" and goes oh so well with the sweet chilli sauce. We generally order this entrée every time and it has never let us down.
Our next entrée were the Spring Rolls. These consisted of vegetables and vermicelli wrapped in crispy pastry served with sweet chilli sauce. Again - loving the sweet chilli sauce the Spring rolls were nice and crispy, as a good spring roll should be. Sweet chilli is such a versatile sauce that complements so many dishes.
We each ordered a dish to share between us. K chose the Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables. Now, we know that vegetables can be bland - but that was not the case with this dish. Not sure what the sauce was - but this dish tasted great. There was a good variety of vegetables and it was truly colourful. With the mixed greens, capsicum and baby corn, plus a very tasty sauce, this made for a dish that we devoured.
There was a "specials board" and this caught the eye of A. She saw the entrée - Salt 'n' Pepper squid and ordered this as a main.
The wonderful sweet chilli sauce accompanied this dish. The Salt 'n' Pepper squid was tender and was encased in a batter that was nice and crispy. This was quite a popular dish with us.
Mlady ordered the Pad Thai. This had special Thai noodles with chicken, tofu, egg and bean sprout and crushed peanuts. This dish is pretty much a stable with Mlady and both A & K enjoyed this dish. It really is a hearty and flavoursome dish with wonderful textures and combinations - love tofu - that all go very well together. We also ordered some steamed rice which was beautifully fluffy and was served in an attractive silver container.
The food at Thai Spice is really good and is very reasonably priced. The servings too are generous and their is a good variety to choose from. You can choose from the menu and/or from the Specials board.
