Snippet:
I can’t tell you exactly when Melbourne shed its reputation for perfunctory Thai food. Remember that? Sydney equals great Thai food, Melbourne equals great Chinese food, never the twain shall meet. So went the stereotype. But was it ever justified? Was it just ignorance? Was it a weather thing, perhaps – is Sydney’s humidity a better fit for Thai?
