Thai Hut
Ryan Andrews
Most people refer to Thai Hut as a hole-in-the-wall. I usually associate a hole-in-the-wall with a dive -- but this place is far from that. Sure, it keeps late hours in a shady part of town, but last time I was in I took a look around. The place is spotless and the staff beyond friendly.
The authentic Thai dishes are laid out in gleaming white dishes, as if their makers are proud of them. Things aren’t haphazardly strewn about. The products for cooking at home are aligned perfectly on the counter.
Most people know about the skewers, but I usually opt for one of the curries. They don’t lay off the heat just because you’re a Westerner, and it’s a good sized portion. Salads have always been quite fresh as well. Lunch can be tough as the place is the size of a shoebox, but takeaway works just as well.
I’ve always wanted to try the deep-fried whole fish, but I'm yet to pluck up the courage...
Thai Hut, G/F, 87-91 Luard Rd, Wan Chai. Penang Curry: $52.
