Enjoy fresh, light and authentic Thai food along the Yarra waterfront

On Saengyojanr's cooking career began when she was a young girl in Bangkok. She'd watch and copy her mother and grandmother as they cooked away in the kitchens of family-run restaurants in Thailand. Saengyojanr has come a long way since then and now serves as the head chef at Crown's waterfront Thai restaurant, Ging Thai. 

The menu offers authentic Thai dishes with a modern twist, and flavours lean light and fresh. Dishes are divided into the categories of starters, stir-fried, curries, roasted, grilled and salads, and punters can opt for a feed me menu of Saengyojanr's current favourite dishes. 

Menu highlights include the kingfish ceviche served with kaffir lime leaf, pomelo, finger lime, salmon roe and herb salad; a red duck curry with grapes, pineapple, bamboo shoots and kaffir lime; and a half roast duck with hoisin dipping sauce. Add a side of jasmine rice or roti to mop up the sauces, and pair your meal with a Thai-inspired cocktail like the Muay Thai Mule with lime leaf vodka, lime and ginger beer.

Summer may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't keep feasting on fresh, succulent seafood as we plunge into autumn. Every Sunday until the end of June, you can head to Ging Thai for Seafood Sundays and feast on a three-tiered seafood tower. You'll receive a variety of locally sourced seafood and Thai dishes, and it's plenty to share between two or three people. Think char-grilled lobster finished with Thai basil and lime-infused oil, a wok-tossed blue swimmer crab cooked with scallions, heirloom tomato and sriracha sauce and a heaping pile of cooked and chilled half-shells scallops with a Thai-style chilli fruit salad.  To help you mop up all the delicious sauces, the platter will also come with a selection of seasonal Thai salads, jasmine rice and roti bread. The platter is $160 and is available between noon and 10pm every Sunday until June 26. For more information, head to the website.  Looking to eat out without breaking the bank?
