Deep fried soft-shell crab @ Baan Krua Thai Restaurant, Wollongong, originally uploaded by Vanessa PR.

It had been a while since we last visited Baan Krua Thai. On our last visit we sampled the amazing Deep-Fried Soft-Shell crab from Baan Krua Thai in Wollongong. It was so good that we decided to go back and order it again. I also ordered the garlic seafood stir-fry which was amazing. The quality of food and wonderful service makes Baan Krua a favourite for dining in Wollongong.

Mixed Entree $6.50

Garlic Seafood Stir-Fry $14.50

We decided on Banquet A for two people which included Mixed Entree (moneybags, satay sticks, curry puffs and spring rolls) followed by Penang Curry and Deep-Fried Soft-Shell Crab with a glass of wine or coffee. All at the low price of $26 each.


At $26 a head it was very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious!

Baan Krua Thai Restaurant - Satay Chicken and Stir Fried Prik Khing

Baan Krua Thai Restaurant

Today I treated myself to a meal at Baan Krua Thai Restaurant on Keira Street, Wollongong. I have wanted to eat there for at least four years, back when it was a Japanese & Koreant restaurant. I decided that today was the day I would ascend the stairs and sample the menu. A friendly waitress greeted me and guided me to a table by the window.

Soothing Thai music played in the background and I settled myself in to peruse the menu. After a few minutes I settled on Satay Chicken (chicken skewers served with a chilli peanut sauce) and Stir Fried Prik Khing (stir fried with green beans, carrots, prik khing paste, crushed roasted peanut, coconut milk and chilli, topped with kaffir lime leaves).

To wash this down I ordered a pot of chinese green tea - such a refreshing drink and full of antioxidants. The photos below are the start of a series of food reviews I will be doing on a weekly basis. Bon appetite!
