Longrain

Best Thai in Sydney. 1 Chef's Hat from the Good Food Guide. We love the place. 'Nuff said.

You can't make reservations so we arrived right on opening. Lucky to get a seat eh? Minutes later the though the place is jumping.

I can't recall the name of the lovely lip smacking cocktail above but it was made from 3 or 4 varieties of rum and pink fruit juice of some sort.

Longrain has been awarded one Chef's Hat by the Good Food Guide and is at 85 Commonwealth Street Surry Hills.

Longrain - dessert

Sweet potato dumplings with hazel nut caramel sauce and fig and ginger ice cream. Looks like a sloppy shit on plate doesn't it. Tastes wickedly delicious though. Somehow they've managed to distil the essence of Thai food and instil it into a dessert. Good stuff.
Overall? Best Thai food ever. Thanks Longrain.

Longrain - suckling pig with bok choi and plum sauce

Awesome! Totally. Awesome. The crackling is a cracker. The pork is so tender and sweet. The plum sauce is wonderful and the bok choi is sweet and nutty. Garlic chips sets it all off nicely too. Awesome. I already said that yes?

Longrain in Surry Hills

Longrain is Sydney's finest modern Thai/Asian restaurant. So far so good. Started with Betel leaf topped with prawn roasted coconut mint & chilli. Now we on to a lamb curry. Just enough fire to make it interesting. Delicious.
