Chill Out is where we go for ‘fancy’ Thai takeaways. It’s almost double the price of Thai Cuisine across the road(NB, most mains for takeaway are around $ 14 + rice, so not too expensive, thai cuisine’s just really cheap), but the extra price is definitely reflected in the taste and quantity. This place is not for spice whimps. If you haven’t been before, I recommend ordering the spice level below what you normally get, as they work on a Thai hotness scale, rather than kiwi hotness! Their sauces are not too sweet, and flavours are well-balanced. They also have some nice features like free delivery within a 5 km radius for orders over $ 30, and a ‘coffee card’ where you get a stamp for main meals purchased and eventually get a free one. Though we really only get takeaways, you can also eat in.

I ate lunch here today, for the first and the last time… no, no, no, not because it was bad(it wasn’t!), but because it just happened to be the last time they were offering lunch meals, just dinner service from the 28th March 2013 onwards. I give this place 4 stars! The service was really nice and friendly and they had great interior décor — origami napkins, origami looking light shades and even the artwork on the wall, great big 3D leaves, also had a origami feel, nice one. Very clean, tidy and a relaxed set-up, but also had a professional restaurant look too. I ordered Pad Thai, a traditional favourite by many, including myself. It wasn’t spicy at all, had a nice tinge of lemon in the background. Tasted fresh and lovely. I had the tofu and veg variety. It only cost $ 13 with a soft drink included and the serving was a generous portion. I will be back, and I better take hubby next time…
