The Pink Duck π¦π©·
If youβre looking for bold, authentic Thai food, The Pink Duck is it.
Small but solid menu, friendly service, and iced coffee that actually cuts through a Durban summer (high praise ππΌ).
What we ordered:
π₯ Prawn & chicken dumplings β spicy surprise, ask for sauce on the side if youβre sensitive. Packed with flavour.
π Vegetable Pad Thai, one of the best Iβve had since Thailand 10 years ago. No notes. 10/10
π€ Prawns with noodles, bold, balanced, and generously loaded with proper prawns (not sad shrimp). 9.5/10
π Ginger chicken & pineapple, tender and tasty, just wished for a bit more ginger kick. 8/10
Dessert was non-negotiable.
π₯₯ Coconut cheesecake with passion fruit, fought over the last bite. 8/10
π¦ Coconut ice cream with grilled pineapple, a match made in heaven. 8.5/10
Can I bitch?
Nope.
Will I be dreaming about this meal back in Cape Town?
Absolutely.
