    Tham Nak Thai - Curry puffs and Panang curry with pork (no rice)

    I went shortly after 4 pm, when they open for dinner. There were no diners in the restaurant, but…read morethey were working on delivery orders. I ordered takeaway: Panang curry (mild) with pork, and curry puffs. The order was ready in less than 15 minutes and cost just over NZ$34 (US$20). BTW, if you want rice, that's extra. There's a ramp up to the restaurant. One of the toilets in the restaurant is accessible. The curry puffs were interesting. They were completely filled (no pockets of air) and were not greasy. I liked them but longed for a stronger curry flavor. So I dipped them in the Panang curry! It was even better. I do stuff like that, dip or mix other Thai food into whatever curry I got. Their version of Panang curry included green beans, carrots, and peas. There was a generous amount of pork. And while I requested mild, I'd classify the heat as mild-medium. My nose started running almost immediately. The curry had less of a peanut-y flavor as most others I've tried. I would have liked less heat, and a more intense flavor. But all in all, it was pretty good. Probably a good intro to Thai curry for those who haven't had it before.

    This is seriously one of the cheapest eats you'll find in town. I tried one of the lunch specials…read morehere. I ordered the pad thai at $10NZ. Not only a great deal, but delicious as well. I went to Thailand a couple months after New Zealand. I can certainly say Tham Nak Thai's pad thai was better than some of the ones I had in Bangkok. Check it out if you're on a budget and need your Thai food fix :)

    We came here for dinner. The service is not that great as it took about 20 minutes for our food to…read morearrive. This is more a Happy Hour place with not too many options for an entree. Still we ordered a few appetizers, like Chicken Satay, Prawn toast, Malaysian cabbage and we added Duck to that meal because it was suggested that the Chicken will come spicier. Anyway, the Chicken Satay is yummy with three skewers. However, the peanut sauce that came with this didn't taste like there's any peanut in the sauce as it was very pale in color. We, also, felt there's way too much sesame seeds and too little shrimp for the prawn toast with the Sriracha mayo.

    So in my haste to make a reservation, I definitely accidentally did it for the Hamilton location…read moreinstead of the Queenstown location, but since I was doing an early dinner, the restaurant was completely empty and it wasn't an issue. Especially considering this is in the downtown area, I can see it getting packed for dinner. I loved the ambiance and decor inside the restaurant. I got the laksa after reading many reviews recommending this dish. It was on the spicy side, and it was good, but I wouldn't say it was outstanding. Next time I would try something else. I was intrigued by the Portuguese custard tarts, as that wasn't expected from a Malaysian restaurant, but I was already planning on getting dessert later, so I skipped them this time.
