We were greeted, seated and watered and the waitress explained what our voucher entitled us to..one entree each, one soup or salad each and anything from the curries, stir fries, noodles and rice menus. Not a bad deal.
Siam Dragon wont be getting any points for the decor or views, with bright green painted walls and a view of the Sandgate Rd intersection, but they are in a handy spot opposite Nundah Village and walking distance from the station.
We chose the Chicken Satay and Curry Puffs to start. The satay sticks were well cooked and the satay sauce was just right, not too rich. The curry puffs were a little oily but still quite nice. Next we both decided on Tom Kha Gai. I'm a big fan of the more traditional white version so the red soup we were served was not what I was expecting/craving. For my taste there was too much tomato (four large tomato wedges in a smallish bowl) but it was still tasty and spicy enough to clear the sinuses!
For mains we ordered Gai Pad Med Ma-muang (Chicken with cashews) and a Beef Penang Curry with a side of Jasmine Rice. The stir fry was quite nice, not too much sauce and plenty of cashews but the curry was definitely my favourite. It was a delicious creamy curry with thin slices of tender beef with plenty of green beans & red capsicum. Unfortunately we were so full by that stage and could only finish about half and when we asked if we would take the leftovers home they refused...even though the couple at the next table had just been given a take away container for theirs..maybe it's because we had a voucher deal??
Update: We were pretty happy with the meal but we both felt a bit unwell afterwards and today...who can say if it was definitely the meal or a coincidence but I might give Siam Dragon a miss next time I'm craving Thai.
