Thailander | Townsville’s Spicy Sanctuary 🔥

The Feast That Made Us Sweat (Happily): 🐯 Crying Tiger (Entree) The Drama: That charred beef actually weeps smoky, umami juices onto the tangy tamarind dip. Eat it with the toasted rice powder for crunchy-savory nirvana. 🍛 Jungle Curry (Left Side MVP) The Truth: No creamy coconut cop-out—just ferocious lemongrass, galangal, and bird’s eye chilies in a salty, herbal broth. Chicken so tender it melts under the spice avalanche. Pro move: Order extra sticky rice to mop up the lava. 🍚 Chilli & Basil Fried Rice (Wok Hei Hero) The Magic: Holy basil’s peppery punch + seared chicken + that whiff of charcoal from a raging-hot wok. Like Bangkok street food teleported to your table. 🌶️ Hot Summer Night (Underrated Star) The Vibe: Stir-fried chicken tangled with fresh peppercorns, crispy shallots, and enough chilies to summon summer—even in December. Not for the meek. Why This Place Slaps: ✅ No dumbed-down heat levels (they’ll ask “Thai spicy or Aussie spicy?” — choose wisely). ✅ Jungle curry’s broth tastes like it’s been simmered by a granny in Chiang Mai—salty, herbal, zero sugar. ✅ Portions = generous (we left with two takeaway boxes and zero shame). The Damage & Intel: 💸 ~$70 AUD for 3 dishes + rice (feeds 2 hungry humans with leftovers). 📍 Thailander | ⏰ Dinner only (Closed Mondays—plan your spice pilgrimage accordingly). #Australia #Townsville#TownsvilleThaiUnplugged #JungleCurryOrBust
