I grabbed a $6.90 takeaway Sweet and Sour Pork from the creatively named Thai Takeaway Shop, just off King Street in Newtown.
I haven't ordered Thai Sweet & Sour Pork for ages, My ex used to never let me order it because we always used to get two meals and share, but whenever we were in a Chinese restaurant he would order Sweet and Sour Pork. The Thai version is notable different to the Chinese as the pork is simply stirfried and not deep fried in oily, fatty batter and the sauce isn't
quite as sweet either. I think the Thai version just wasn't fatty enough for him. I like both versions, the fatty battery version does somethimes gross me out, it's like a diabetic special.
I am so glad I ordered this, I'm sure the sauce isn't that healthy, but the rest of it is. The pork is lean and comes with loads of capsium, onion, pineapple and tomato (which you don't get in the Chinese version). I really like the tomato, pineapple combination.
Very yummy, my keyboard is getting a bit greasy though. read more
