Long Chim Sydney

David Thompson isn’t just one of Australia’s most skilled chefs, he’s one of our most skilled Thai chefs. In a country where Thai is practically our adopted national cuisine, nobody spices and seasons quite like he does, bringing elegance and complexity to everything he touches. Make sure to take a crew—this is food designed to share with your mates. I’m in love with his dry curries, but if you want to play it safe, he does a hell of a pad Thai.
