Thai Esarn restaurant

Thai Esarn Restaurant
1/5 Beechboro Rd, Bayswater


On saturday, we went to try out this Thai restaurant, which was recommended by a friend of Bird. Apparently they serve very authentic thai food, so we had to go and check it out. Currently the ranking for my favourite thai restaurant is as such

1. Saowanee Thai ( Along Fitzgerald St in perth)
2. Dusit Thai
3. Thai Corner
4. Thailand Restaurant ( city)

The rest... well I cannot say any that made it to my list. So I came to this place with a little skepticism as i have not heard about it.




Here is the place. The ambiance in the place well could not beat Dusit or Thai corner for presentation. The place was dimly lit like one of those musky dingy shop in old chinatown. But of course they always say good food will speak for itself.


So with anticipation i await - we ordered

1. Fried Fish with salad - This was really nice and refreshing
2. Gai Yang - not too bad
3. Spicy Seafood soup - oooohhhh... delicious
4. Som Tum with crab - VERY THAI... Bird will love this.. but not my cup of tea
5. Grilled Beef - Very thai, had the crushed rice like Thailand restaurant. Apparently its authentic thai style.





I think overall i like the food for its authenticity and not trying got be too pretentious and suit the western palate. It has all the necessary thai ingredients and was reasonably priced. Overall I think i would place this in the top 3, kicking out Thai corner to No.4
