Eating Out: U-Tong Thai

I'm jumping all over my timeline here. My last post was about some of the food I ate in the worst times after Dim Sim. This post is from food a few months later, when I went out to lunch with my friend Diana. She played a huge roll on the day of Dim Sim's passing, that I am forever grateful for. I was just starting back at work a bit, and finished at midday on her day off, so we met half-way at U-Tong Thai, a vegan Thai place in Clayfield. I've been to U-Tong in its current state once before, but before it was U-Tong it was PingAn Veggie Time Thai, which I went to several times.

I got a Rosella Iced Tea to drink, which is such a wonderful and refreshing drink. I don't know how to really describe it if you haven't had it before, but it is sweet and sort of floral.



Diana and I shared some starters. The Hoisin Duck Bao were wonderful, with fluffy bao buns and a great filling. We also got the Roti and Peanut Sauce, which I had previously enjoyed when it was PingAn. The roti is still amazing, so flaky and savoury and warm. Unfortunately they had changed the peanut sauce, so it was thinner and more a curry-style peanut sauce.





For our mains we went pretty typical. Diana got the Pad Thai, and I of course got the Pad See Ew. Pad See Ew is one of my favourite foods ever, so I have a hard time saying no to it on a menu, even though I've had it at this location a few times before!
