Thai Corner Restaurant, Applecross

The last time I was dining along Canning highway, my friend and I went to the vegan restaurant Heavenly Plate Cafe. As we walked into the cafe, we noticed a nice Thai place right next door and we said that we'll have to try it out one day. A couple months on, we made reservations for Thai Corner Restaurant, next door to Heavenly Plate. I love crossing stuff off my list of things to do :)

The restaurant was lovely inside and seemed fairly busy throughout the night. They have received a lot of awards over the years and have them all framed and put on display in a large wine cabinet near the entrance. Good move guys, way to impress us :)

Service was lovely and I really enjoyed the food. They were happy to make their vegetarian dishes vegan friendly by omitting any fish sauce for me. The prices are a bit steep for the serving size, but I was surprisingly so full by the end of dinner that we had to get the rest to take home in containers. So I guess there was value for money in that way :)

I particularly enjoyed dessert. We had durian with sticky rice, coconut milk and sesame seeds. The both of us hadn't had durian in a while so it was an easy dessert choice to make because I think we had some durian cravings. It was served warm and was a perfect sweet treat to finish off our dinner. Normally durian and coconut are quite strong flavours, but this dessert was made so well that one didn't overpower the other, and I could still appreciate the flavour of the sticky rice too. Really top stuff. I love being a dessert person :)

Lotus Thai Restaurant, Wanneroo

I decided to take me brother and cousin out to dinner tonight. I took to them to a Thai restaurant called Lotus Thai Restaurant in Wanneroo. I have heard a lot of reviews about the restaurant so I wanted to try it out for myself. It actually turned out that my cousin had worked there for a brief period. 

It was lovely inside and the atmosphere was very nice too. It was quite inside which was good for conversation and the staff were all friendly and helpful with helping me find something vegan friendly. 

We ended up getting tofu, vegan stir-fried rice, sweet and sour vegetables and my brother got the chicken fried rice. The dishes were nice and flavoursome. The dessert menu also had some vegan friendly dishes but unfortunately we were so full from dinner that we couldn't squeeze anymore in. This is very unlike me :P

I had such a pleasant night, and if you're in the area then give this place a try. They do dine-in and take-away so whatever you're in the mood for, you can get a fix of Thai food.
