Experience the flavours, colours and sounds of Thailand with a unique menu inspired by traditional recipes from various regions.
For the finest Thai food, Sea Wave in Avalon has an extensive menu to suit every desire, palette and budget.
For entrees we treated ourselves to duck-wrapped pancakes with cucumber, shallots and Hoisin sauce, prawn donut in breadcrumbs, Sea Wave salmon sashami in chilli lime dressing, and Diamond Bags – chicken, coconut and fresh veggies in crispy pastry.
Mains include Thai curries, Tom Yum soups, noodles, rice and noodle dishes, but the ‘chef specials’ were calling our names.
With options of mild, medium or hot, we chose the Barramundi fish served whole, Phuket island sizzling – prawn, squid and mussel in chilli jam, served with fresh green veggies on a sizzling plate. Spicy, naturally.
‘The worse half’ went for the sizzling plate volcano beef, sliced beef tenderloin served with garlic, black pepper and vegetables, and we shared lamb cutlets, marinated with Country Thai BBQ sauce and a side of steamed Chinese broccoli and veggies in oyster sauce. Delish!
One winter special to try now which will warm you up is slow cooked beef cheek curry.
Desserts include fried ice cream with mixed berry compote, sticky rice with mango, coconut ice cream or mango ice cream – perfect to round the night off.
Of course, it would be churlish not to mention the drinks. Tempus Two Silver Series Shiraz was the perfect drop for a wintery night, but the cocktails definitely added some pizazz.
As well as the classics, also on offer are Palm Beach – passionfruit, vodka and fruit; Wedding Dress – pina colada, coconut rum, pineapple juice and coconut cream; Broken Heart – Chiang Mai lychee syrup, vodka and Martini Bianca and Blue Ocean – vodka, Blue Curacao and lemonade.
