Soi Eight Thai Restaurant at the Griffith Shops is popular with locals….

….who recommend the spring rolls ($7.50) or silver bags – chicken mince with ground roasted peanuts, palm sugar and honey in crispy pastry ( nice but very peanutty) ( $7.50) for entree…

And the Gang Penang – a semi dry chicken or beef curry with crunchy peanuts and kaffir lime leaves $18.90.

Rice is $2.80 per person and corkage is $4 per bottle.

As one main with two rice can be shared by two people, it’s a relatively budget friendly night out.

The busy Griffith Vietnamese Restaurant next door is also worth trying out.
