Good Food Quest: Chat Thai!

Ever since I started taking up Hotel Management, it gave birth to this desire of discovering great restos where we can have fabulous food and great time as well.  So on most Thursdays, you will see me in the city lining up outside a restaurant waiting to be seated.  Last week, I went back to Chat Thai -- it's definitely one of those restos that lived up to its hype.

History of Chat Thai found in their website:

The first Chat Thai restaurant, founded by Amy Chanta, opened its doors in 1989 on Liverpool St, Darlinghurst and was immediately a roaring success. Since then four more Chat Thai restaurants and takeaways have opened throughout Sydney. The name “Chat Thai” simply means “Thai Nation”. But the English meaning “to converse in a familliar and informal manner” is also what Chat Thai is all about casual and relaxed dining with authentic Thai food made to be shared with friends and family. Over the years our principle aims haven’t changed much - to serve great, fresh and authentic food in an elegant, yet simple environment, and to also provide a helpful friendly service and, most importantly, value for money.

Unspoilt Paradise - Boracay!

"Unspoilt white beach: clean, baby-powder-soft sand, a long shallow ledge on which you can wade way, way out without working a muscle."  Words untouched and straight from GRAZIA Magazine's very own Tracey Withers! You may or may not have heard of this place, but I can never really blame you. For the longest time, Bali and Phuket are the top tropical destinations listed on every vacationer's itinerary. It seemed for an eternity, everybody wanted to be there and get a piece of that talked-about tropical action. Well, the winds of tourism change may finally be starting to blow towards the direction of this tiny haven in my beloved Philippines. Let me introduce, as what Ms. Withers called it, our unspoilt Boracay.
