We were at a loose destination inwards Collingwood on a Fri nighttime and, later scoping out the queues at Jimmy Grants as well as Shop Ramen, decided to finally see MaMaNee Thai. It had been recommended to us years agone every bit a decent as well as inexpensive Thai alternative as well as nosotros were happy to live able to only wander inwards as well as pick out grip of a table. It's a pretty basic fit-out - inexpensive looking signage, chocolate-brown plastic accoutrements as well as slightly harsh lighting. The kitchen is on display behind the front end counter, as well as then y'all tin entertain yourself past times watching the chefs inwards action.
The card has a dedicated vegetarian section, e'er reassuring at a Thai place. There's curries, stir-fries as well as a hit of noodle dishes, with a few to a greater extent than interesting options. The noodles all convey egg inwards them, but the stir-fries as well as curries await vegan to me. The residual of the card goes good beyond the touchstone Thai options (including a special Southern Thai selection), but I'm non certain how many of them are fish sauce/shrimp glue free. They also convey special Thai drinks, including this milky iced java ($4) that gave me the kicking I needed later a tiring week.
We ordered a couplet of mains - starting with the vegetarian Singapore noodles with vegetables, tofu as well as rice vermicelli noodles ($15.50).
I was a flake disappointed when these appeared - visually they're non specially appealing. Luckily, they tasted incredible - heavily seasoned with or as well as then variety of curry pulverization as well as cumin as well as likely MSG, served with lime slices to supply a flake of tang. They're non specially spicy, but the eating seat has a tremendous hit of sauces as well as then y'all tin tweak the chilli levels yourself.
Our minute dish was the incomparably named tofu delicious ('with seasoning sauce topped with sesame seeds as well as onion', $15.50).
This was fantabulous every bit well, big chunks of thickly battered tofu with a sweetness as well as spicy sauce as well as a dainty hit of vegetables.
The nutrient at Mamanee was fantastic, with both dishes providing something a flake unlike from the touchstone Thai options. The servings were massive every bit good - nosotros took dwelling plenty leftovers for a whole minute dinner, later springing 60c for plastic containers. Mamanee seems similar the perfect neighbourhood Thai - proficient food, reasonable prices, friendly service - if entirely it was inwards our neighbourhood!
