My Thai Kitchen had only been open three weeks when the 2010 Brisbane flood came along and wiped out the fledgeling business. They picked themselves up, and several years and a name change later are one of the busiest Thai diners around. It's a fun and colourful joint, painted eye-popping purple and saffron yellow with indoor wall mural of cleavers, pots, and woks. Serving up flavour-bombed Thai dishes chockers with fresh produce, much of which is
supplied by the green grocer just a few doors down, they accommodate vegan and gluten-free needs without a blinking. There's no hiding the fact the kitchen uses Maesri curry pastes – they sell them at the counter – but why not when the resulting flavour is as good as it is?
