Thai Pothong, Newtown
“Winner Best Thai Restaurant in Sydney 4 years in a row” says a boldly painted slogan on its glass window, Thai Pothong positions itself as one of the more prestige Thai restaurants in Newtown, a suburb where Thai places are plenty and there is no shortage of curry. However, what is impressive about this restaurant is its determination to be creative with its dishes and despite being in the district of Thai restaurants, it does not lack business, even if they do cost twice as much as a smaller place just two doors down.
The menu is extensive, from traditional curries to stir fries with a different flavour. Start with a Stuffed Chicken Wing for entree, order a Penang duck curry and stir fried pumpkin with chicken. You'll not be disappointed. Their monthly specials keeps even the most regular customers seeking for refreshing flavours and the excellent customer service the staff provides.
Well, one would assume by paying twice the money, you'd expect the service to be inclusive.
Unique to the restaurant is an attached gift shop, where little cultural artifacts from umbrellas to golden elephants can be purchased.
Perhaps not in everyone's price budget, it's a place to be tried once. Highly recommended.
