Cheng Kitchen - Haymarket

Tucked at the end of thai street, Cheng kitchen provides a great variety of your usual thai options along with a good assortment of tradtional noodles/soups including your usual tom yum and boat noodle, along with those not commonly found in Sydney such as guay jub and tom lerd moo. Majority of the noodles/soups come in two sizes, allowing you to get a main along with a small portion of their noodles on the side. The boat noodle soup was a standout to me. It provided a great punch of flavour like those served at chon siam thai but with less of a salty after taste. It was also not as peppery as ones you get from yok yor or spice I am. Tom yum was nice as well, reminded me of a spicy version of Taiwanese tan tan noodles. We got the soft shell crab som tum (papaya salad), salad was a bit bland but soft shell crab was nicely good. Portion of soft shell crab was great for the price ($14). Due to it being further from the other thai restaurants located on thai street, you shouldn’t have a problem getting a seat on weekends, they provided BYO and service in general was great. Definitely a thai restaurant I’ll go back to! Pro : Good choice of noodles and soups - Highly recommend getting a few of the small sized ones for variety. Good service and easy to get seats.  Con : Som Tum salad was a bit bland, needed a bit more acidity and spice.   Must get : Boat noodle. Tom yum soup.

Northern style pork n chilli sausage w sticky rice 3.75/5, one of the better asian sausage i have tasted out there, so fragrant so full of flavourful spices, wish i had ordered more. Never really like glutinous rice meself though a matter of personal preference. Noodles w soft bone pork 3.25/5, this was spicy hot though not overly so. Still got me worked up. Generous w minced meat n the soft bone with a sprinkling of delightful pork jelly (read: blood) and pork rind. Will be back to sample other stuffs if i am in the area..

A rough as guts take away in Sydney , by far the best duck , BBQ pork , roast pork and chinese sausage I have had over here .
