Gang Keaw Warn @ Yok Yor

I hope this place is called Nok Noy, will have to double check (EDIT - It's actually Yok Yor and have updated as such, no idea what/who/where Nok Noy is). It's a new place on Campbell Street but more towards Elizabeth, just on the edge of 'the zone' (I'm cutting Spice I Am a break here as they can do what they want).

It's actually not the first time I've been here, I was here the previous Friday when Rusty and I were directed here by Chilli Cha Cha, who was shutting down for the night (that or they could see we'd had a few beers so they pointed us across the road to Nok Noy). The night is a bit sketchy due to the Illawara Brewing Company tap take over at the Pumphouse, but I will never forget the morning after.

Whatever I ate that night was so spicy that my pee was burning in the morning. For a (very short) while I did wonder how the hell I had managed to catch Gonorrhea but thankfully it was just the redonk amount of chilli that had been in my food moving through my body. Oh the pain. Oh the humanity.

Obviously this time I ordered something else.

Always a pleasure to have something new (even if it wasn't that great). Gang Keaw Warn is a green curry, but as more of a thick soup with beans, tofu, apple eggplant and noodles.

Now call me a Farang but I'm now so used to the 'Australian' version of Thai, where they lay the vegetables on think and fast, a few beans and pieces of eggplant ain't gonna cut it no more. Overall this meal took about 2 days off my life with the lack of veggies and the amount of coconut cream. Not that fastidious as a rule when it comes to food but I could feel the cholesterol build up after this one.

So 0 from 2 here so far (well I actually loved the burning pee dish but can't eat that all the time; it burns!)
