Traditions part two
Previous: Traditions
I've unpacked most of my boxes and the truth has become apparent - this place is huge. You can move any wall in the living room by a metre and there will still be more than enough room. No wonder it's cold in here. I'm in desperate need of furniture to fill the space. Time to get a sofa!
2. Laksa at s.Thada
The big move on Friday night left me free to get a fridge and with TB offering to lend a hand the opportunity was too good to pass up. Picked TB up from Redfern station, flew past Bing Lee in Alexandria to get the already-purchased white good and dumped it at the new place, with TB nattering the entire way about his tooth that had fallen out that night. He also commented on the lovely floorboards and the space and was especially impressed by the gas stove. It seemed appropriate, too, to take TB to a Thai place for a post-moving-stuff afternoon lunch seeing as though he loves the food and could even greet the staff in Thai as well...
s.Thada makes eating so easy 'cos it's so bloody cheap. And it's pretty good too, possibly the best Laksa on Victoria Street, there's so much going on in it. Best of all, the place was just around the corner. On Friday and Saturday nights people pretty much have to pile up on each other to fit and the simple act of ordering take-away requires strategic planning to avoid wait staff and random legs jutting out into the aisles, only to wait OUTSIDE ‘cos there’s simply no room anywhere inside to stand still.
Anyway, I just had to have my regular. TB got some soupy thing with mushrooms and prawns, I forget what it’s called, which made me feel guilty for not trying out much of the other stuff on the menu. When I find something I like I generally stick with it, although I’m also partial to the red curry that they do, especially with duck (thanks to DS for putting me onto that one!). TB hadn’t stopped talking since Redfern and my mind was distracted, thinking about the rest of the things I had to move. At the very least all the big stuff that required more than one person to move it had been done but there were still a lot of boxes of my crap left.
