Decided to try out Sailors Thai Canteen for lunch. I haven't been here for a looonnngg time. Trudging along George Street in the slight drizzle last Friday, I headed up to the Rocks with anticipation. The setting was still the same, one long table for communal eating.
My friend and I were seated opposite each other. The menu looked interesting and we ordered a dish each to share ie. the "Green curry chicken" and the "Crisp and Salty Pork Belly, hot and sour sauce". What can I say... I was quite disappointed. The green curry was a bit watered down and not as tasty while the pork belly was doused in plum sauce... whatever happened to the hot and sour sauce?
To say the least, my friend and I were disappointed with the meal, was not value for money or authentic at all....
We had to head over to the French Patisserie cafe for cake and coffee which was more satisfying...

Joyce, I am not surprised that Sailors Thai did not meet your expectations. They may have left their original cuisisne roots and have been caught up too much with the fusion trend. Even some of my Anglo-Celtic mates aim for authencity, not the imagined creations which are neither here nor there on the palate.
