Thai appetisers

For years restaurants in Wellington’s inner city served up tasty Thai morsels. Then in the early 2000s Thai restaurants began to appear in the Hutt Valley and suburbs like Hataitai, Island Bay, Totara Park and Brooklyn. The starters pictured here are from the Golden Lotus Thai Restaurant in Brooklyn.
