Wang Thai is a good restaurant situated at the V&A Waterfront. Thai food is one of my favorite type of cuisine. I like it that the dishes use fresh ingredients, all blended together to form a paste which gives out a good aroma when cooked. This place that we went today serves delicious curries and stir-fry. It is comparable to Sawaddee, the difference between the two restaurants I would say is the better ambience in Wang Thai AND unique dishes like the Jungle Curry served in Sawaddee.
To start with, we ordered Crispy Wantons. The most important thing about a wonton is the filling. The starter had tasty prawn and chicken filling, well fried to its crispiness.
Next, for mains, we ordered a Duck Red Curry and Pad Graphao (Brinjal, Tofu and Basil Leaves in Fermented Bean Sauce). I ordered Pad Graphao hot, as I prefer stir-fry with a little chill bites. It is one of my favorite dishes, I order them from Simply Asia as well. But, Wang Thai makes a better dish. This is because the Brinjal and Tofu are in large chunks, and sauce is not too salty (too much of the fermented bean sauce will make it salty, which overpowers the other sauces). The only criticism I have on the dish that Wang Thai prepared is, the brinjals were not too cooked. Thus, a lot of the brinjals were left out at the end after I finished eating.
My husband had the duck curry. He ordered it Thai style - which means it is even hotter than hot. Yes, it came hot, not to blow your heads off, just enough for chill lovers while retaining the taste of the fresh ingredients. His criticism was, the butternut in the curry was not cooked enough.
They also serve Sushi, if you like to have some sushi at Thai place :)
Price wise, Thai Duck Red Curry was R95, Pad Graphao was R59, Wonton Starters were R35.
Overall impression :
Food : 4/5
Drinks : 4/5
Service : 4/5
Ambience : 4/5
