| - I brought my mom in for a light dinner, as we'd had a rather indulgent lunch earlier in the day. We were greeted by an energetic and super friendly young man who was able to find us a table for two, even though we hadn't made a reservation. Note to self: if you want to come on a Saturday night, you probably should make a reservation. They were hopping in there!
Our server came over to see if we had been to Sabai Sabai before, and explained tapas style eating for my mom. He suggested about 5 share items between two people would be about right (but, of course, he doesn't know what we had for lunch!)
In the end, we went with:
Spicy papaya salad $6
(A very different take on papaya salad than what I've tried at other Thai places. Yummy, and definitely has a little kick!)
Spicy coconut noodles 'Mee Kati' $8
(This was on their specials menu... I think the waiter said these will be new menu items? These were ultra fine rice noodles, with a rich coconutty sauce, egg and ground chicken. Very tasty, but not very spicy as the name would imply. I would definitely get this again.)
Panang curry $9
(With a side of rice. You can't go wrong with this authentic dish. So, so good.)
The food came to our table very quickly - this was nice, but actually I wish the items had been staggered. The tables are tiny (necessarily so, as the place is not huge overall), and so you can't really fit much on the table. Our server was friendly and efficient.
As it is tapas, the portions are a little on the small side. A hot tip if you live in the neighbourhood is to order takeout. They are much more generous.
