Spice Gourmet Thai, Parramatta
17 September 2010, 02:29
Everyone has their fav thai local. Ours is Spice Gourmet Thai (1/71 George St, Parramatta) near Temasek and the Roxy. Normally we order takeaway thanks to their 10% off deal but tonight we are in need of urgent sustenance and honestly sometimes it’s just nice to eat beautifully presented food on a plate rather than squished in a takeaway container. Prices are a bit on the exxy side but the servings are freaking huge when dining in.
The tables are filled with hundreds of dried chillies under a glass top. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do at home but uh with m&ms…
The Soft Shell Crab Salad ($19.90) always wins me over, whole crabs are deep fried to crispy perfection. The batter is always fresh, the slivers of green apple are refreshing and have I ever told you how much I love cashews? They are super generous with the crabs- we scored a whopping 4 crabs!
The Salmon Salad ($19.90) is a must order, the fat slices of fresh salmon aren’t just draped teasingly over the top of a pile of salad nay, for every bite that you take of the salad there WILL be a piece of salmon in it. It’s more like hi, have a whole plate of salmon oh afterthought here, have a bit of salad. Best salmon to salad ratio ever!
The Green Curry ($14.90) was a bit of a letdown mainly because I was expecting a huge bowl of soupy curry and instead there was a pile of chicken breast meat with a mere puddle of curry. The eggplant was tasty though!
lol the boy with our heart shaped rice ($2) which he promptly stabbed to pieces ♥
Sweet Roti with banana, sugar and condensed milk ($9). ZOMG the roti was so buttery and fluffy! Initially I was a tad disappointed cos I was hoping for a giant paper thin cone of roti ala Mamak but 1 spoon of the flaky pastry and banana with condensed milk was freaking bliss. It didn’t need the chocolate topping and oddly the sugar reminded me of how I used to spread peanut butter on toast and sprinkle with sugar… Why I do not have diabetes is beyond me.
Back to home
“It’s more like hi, have a whole plate of salmon oh afterthought here, have a bit of salad”.
ROFL, love it! I think that salmon salad is good enough reason to go. And those crabs! <3!

— catty Sep 17, 08:10 AM #Prices aren’t too bad compared to Canberra! heh.
— Fiona Sep 17, 08:43 AM #It is so UNFAIR that Sydney has much better Thai restaurants than Melbourne. Darn! I would want to move back for these!
— Anh Nguyen Sep 17, 11:08 AM #So I think you should start up a m&m table coffee table business alongside the Biscuit Tree – I’d buy one!(Well, in a few years’ time, when I’m not an a horrendous PhD student budget…)
That salmon salad does look generous and scrumptious!
— Hannah Sep 17, 11:41 AM #heart-shaped rice! lol. and yes, i could totally picture an m&m table at your place :)
— Helen (grabyourfork) Sep 17, 03:20 PM #I would love an M&M table too.. although I don’t think they would last very long under the glass unless i welded it shut!
— Iron Chef Shellie Sep 17, 03:21 PM #i wouldnt mind a table full of M&Ms either, if not a a table full of gummy bears… hmhmhm
— sporbo Sep 17, 03:35 PM #will have to give this ago. in search of ‘good’ thai food!
Banana desserts are something that I have to hide from the husband – he loves bananas and dessert both too much!
And I wanna see you make an M&Ms table…go on…
— mademoiselle delicieuse Sep 17, 05:26 PM #me likes you blogging these parra eats!! <3
— Julie Sep 17, 10:41 PM #i’ve always wondered about this place. We always walk pass it ont he way to Temasek. Must drag the boy along to try it since we will be moving nearby very soon. The salmon salad looks and sounds friggin’ amazing!
— Amy @ cookbookmaniac Sep 17, 11:06 PM #AHH~ Looking at this post makes me hungry!! I LOVE soft shell crab and salmon salads! XD Love your blog, it’s sooo cute!
— Melissy Sep 18, 03:13 AM #Will keep this restaurant in mind the next time I head out to Parra – always have no idea what to eat out there!
— foodwink Sep 18, 08:24 AM #I think Thai cuisine has to be one of the most reliable food options in Sydney – there are great Thai restaurants all over SYdney, and here is yet another! x
— Ladybird Sep 19, 11:28 AM #HAHAHA M&M table, love the idea, very Suze!
— sara @ Belly Rumbles Sep 19, 05:21 PM #.. the only thing there that looks close to being authentically Thai is the green curry; looks more like fusion food from over here Suze
— Sidney Sep 20, 01:24 PM #Ok, I’ve walked passed on the way to temasek… might give this a try next time, thanks!
— thang @ noodlies Sep 20, 09:46 PM #That salmon salad looks so good!
— Karen (missklicious) Sep 21, 09:48 PM #Since I’ve been camping in Parra i’ve been reading all your posts on where to eat! Am going here on Friday night – looking forward to it :)
