Holy Basil and N2 Take 3

night out to 'relax' after midsems. still have more mid sems a bit later, and a whole lot of uni work to catch up on.

green curry w/ chicken, beef massaman, pad see ew w/ lamb, pineapple fried rice w/ pork

green mango salad w/ soft wheel crab. cost the same as a plate of soft shell crab, but we wanted some salad.

also ordered a tiger beef salad and 2 sticky rices. first time have thai style sticky rice

fried ice cream-take 3

feels like every time i have it, it gets worse. first time at canley vale it was superb, 2nd time at shark hotel and it was alright. this time it was pretty bad. melted before it even got to our table (can see at the back). the corners are usually the best, but the spoon just cut through the pastry to melted ice cream which poured through. usually it's cold, hard ice cream. melted sooo quickly, and the coconut was plated below the ice cream, making it awkward to eat ):

all that melted ice cream

for 8 people, dinner was around $15 and we were all super full, so it was decently priced.

gingerbread cheesecake-$6

not worth the 20min+ friday night wait. normally it's very quite during the day time. shared this with 2 other people. i wanted to get the poison apple. but then it was a sorbet not actual gelato. then again, this gelato incorporated cheesecake in it, so made it not smooth, and kind of was like ice cream. it did have a lot of gingery flavour, but i was rather have a smooth gelato texture.
