Tailandi
Thai street food comes to residential Melissia at Tailandi, a retro spot styled like a 1970s Thai diner, where Thai pop plays and plates like pad thai and phat grapao muu come from chefs working in view.
The story
Tailandi sits among the quiet residential streets of Melissia and calls itself a Thai street food restaurant. The look is hipster-meets-vintage, a nod to a 1970s Thai diner, set to a soundtrack of Thai pop and electronic beats. The chefs cook in front of diners, and there are tables out on the sidewalk too. The menu leans on familiar street dishes. Pad thai and phat grapao muu, minced meat with egg and rice, are the standouts. Alongside them is khai jiao, a Thai omelette with crispy duck, jasmine rice and sriracha. Chicken bao buns, fried shrimp and yam woon sen, a glass noodle dish with minced meat and prawns, suit sharing, and mango pie closes the meal. Cocktails and beer round out the drinks.
