| - Sabai sabai - the true "we are chilling with family" environment. I can't compliment this place enough. I really believe that Chef Nuit is a culinary genius who uses the comforting flavours of her culture and enjoys sharing her most beloved recipes.
Whenever I eat in, I make sure to order a drink because this is one of the places where the drinks are as inspired as the food. My suggestion would be to try the Tom Yum drink. I love how the flavours of the hot soup is creatively (and somehow) infused into a cold drink.
Whenever I order take out (Which is super often bc I work so near) I am always torn between everything on the lunch menu. I personally enjoy the lunch menu better than tapas. I find that it's more cost efficient, tbh...however I'd never complain if dinner was the only option haha
My favourites are: chicken wings, morning glory, crispy fried fish, massaman curry and fresh papaya salad.
The chicken wings are flavoured just right. And from what I've heard and what I can tell, it's very simple marinating. Mmm I also appreciate that all of the meat here is sous-vide beforehand. This is especially noticeable in the massaman curry beef. It literally just melts in your mouth because it's so tender after its treatment. If I had to complain about some things in the massaman, it would be that it can get a bit oily...and that their potatoes are at times a bit undercooked... To the point where you can see the other colour on the inside still. But I suppose they're still edible lol
The crispy fish is just so tasty. The sauce that comes with it is very good. It is the perfect choice when I don't feel like having soup or beef/chicken.
The morning glory at sabai sabai is treated like...vegetable royalty or something. I've never wanted to eat dark greens when dining out until I had the morning glory at sabai sabai. I guarantee you will love this.
Lastly, my Thai/Laos expert foodie friends tell me that if the papaya salad at the restaurants suck, then nothing about the restaurant will be authentic. I find that the papaya salad here is packed with punches. FRESH, SPICY and FRAGRANT.
I guarantee you will not get a seat at dinner time on any weekday if you don't make a reservation beforehand haha sabai sabai is very popular with the locals.
If you're planning to eat in for a lunch, plan to be there for a little longer than usual bc service does get a little slow when it's a bit busier.
I will for sure look them up when they move to yonge and bloor.
