Loving the Original Pad Thai ($12), their non-spicy rendition certainly hit the spot. The key being the firm, chewy bite of the rice noodles and perfectly balanced flavours. Sourness from the lime, sweetness and savouriness of the sauce all played off one another harmoniously, with additional hints of smokiness/wok hei; as more often than not the seasoning tends to be a little one-dimensional and saccharine. Served on the sides were also crushed peanuts and chillies for that extra oomph. What’s more with a choice of protein, the noodles comes with options such as Grilled Chicken, Pan-fried Salmon (+$3), Prawns and Grilled Tofu (-$1) for a vegetarian/meatless alternative.

So with your weekday lunch spot settled, you should definitely grab a friend down to the CBD and enjoy 1-for-1 Burpple Beyond deals on their main dishes.

Many thanks to ochafreshthaisg for having us and Burpple for the invite!
