Expect the authentic taste of Thailand on the plate without leaving Sydney when you dine at Ari Passion Thai Cuisine on Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills. Located in the Evening Star Hotel, come for the food and stay for the vibe at this local watering hole, where you can delve into tantalising appetisers such as crispy fish bombs with sweet and spicy tamarind sauce, along with marinated pork skewers and dipping sauce. For the main, think fried barramundi fillet with peanuts and spicy green mango salad; or dive into prawns, squid, fish, chilli, herbs, Chinese broccoli and basil with noodles. Those more adventurous opt for grilled eel, rice, sweet sauce and clear chicken stock soup; or devour crab-tastic fried rice, with jumbo crab, egg, shallots, fresh cilantro and cucumber.
