@Kristi : Yeah the ambience is quite nice, were you upstairs or downstairs ? It can get a bit cramped downstairs when the bar is full, patrons can get quite close to the eating area!

I went to Rambutan last Friday night and it was fantastic, the food, service and ambience were great. However it was a bit noisy so conversation was restricted to my companions on either side!

I highly recommend this place, but book on the busy nights. We saw many people turned away during our visit.

I’m going there tomorrow night on your recommendation! Can’t wait to try the cocktails and the crispy duck. Thanks Howard and the gang!

Reemski – the article you want on Mai Bussarat is in the Sydney Morning Herald magazine, about a couple of months ago, methinks.

Shez : Yep he was! It was pretty cool, they like to put on a show heh. Yeah fusion is a hit and miss but I accept it's place in Syd restaurant scene I guess. Reemski : Ah nice, I'd like to find that article and have a read. Some of her dishes are quite unique. Arwen : Sweet potato is awesome, very versatile as well. The blowtorch is great, makes any photo look good! Y : Cocktails seem a bit 'girly' to me, but I appreciate the effort which is put into making them heh. FFichiban : Yeah give it a go, it's great for groups. Christie : I'm yet to visit spice i am, heard so much about it. Must visit! Lorraine : If the finger was anything like their entrees, I agree. They are great when paired with the cocktails!

I went to a function there some months ago and the finger food was divine. Good to know that the actual restaurant food is good too. And yes they really do take their cocktails seriously there! Lorraine @NotQuiteNigella’s last blog post..Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon

Cocktails look fab! Always willing to try new combinations

The lamb massaman curry also looks good. The pork prik khing reminds me of a Spice I am dish that is pure heaven. Not sure that one looks as good!

Some interesting dishes there. I'm not really a cocktail person, but am fascinated by them. Y’s last blog post..Pineapple and chamomile

I've seen recipes for mussaman with sweet potato, but I've never made it. I can see your problem with it being too sweet though. Love the blowtorch photos! Arwen from Hoglet K’s last blog post..Pesto Pasta with Smoked Chicken

Really like this place every time I've gone. There was recently a feature on Good living on the chef. She's Thai. I can't find it, but it was there! Reemski’s last blog post..The Sugarmill, Kings Cross

is that cocktail man wearing safety goggles? how fun

i’m similarly suspect when it comes to fusion cuisine, but am glad to hear that this place was a cut above (if somewhat on the sweet side).
