BeTong 888

Thai restaurants in Brisbane are almost universally excellent, but sometimes you need to look beyond the green curry and the spring rolls to get a properly authentic taste of Thailand. There are restaurants that set themselves apart and Be’Tong 888 Thai is certainly is one of them. They’ve got a menu that includes a host of dishes that are rarely found outside of Thailand, including house signatures and regional specialities to savour. They pride themselves on their Sesame Roast Duck, known as bey yang in Thailand, with Chinese kale and rice noodles, on their pak boong fi dang moo krob – a mouthful in more than one way – with the Asian staple of “morning glory” or Thai watercress flash fried with soy bean paste, chillies and crispy pork belly and their Massaman lamb shank with fried potatoes. There are Thai classics too, but if you head to Hercules Street on the banks of the Brisbane River in Hamilton, you’re going to want to go for the lesser known delicacies - book now.
