Thai Siam - Deep Fried Oysters, Moreton Bay Bugs, Espresso Martini - Cleveland, Brisbane Australia

It's date night and since it is a nice Autumn night we decide to walk to our favourite restaurant, Thai Siam which is just around the corner. It is a busy Saturday night and we are just in luck - they have one table left and it is outside. Apologies in advance for the poor quality of photos due to low lighting. 


We are presented with the drinks menu and I decide to try an Espresso Martini cocktail. I've always wanted to try and it decide that tonight is the night! I don't usually drink coffee after 3pm but I decide the caffeine buzz will be worth it. 


The espresso martini is AMAZING. It is a mixture of Vodka, Kahlua, Baileys and Espresso Coffee and tastes like a chocolate covered coffee bean. Delicious! A great start to the evening.


Hubby chooses the entree of Deep Fried Oysters. Always a hit! Five oysters to share with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. Lovely!



Perusing the menu I decide to go for one of my favourites - Moreton Bay bugs with salt and pepper ($28) which includes a salad underneath the bugs. I could eat this every day!


The Moreton Bay Bugs arrive and I take a photo before hubby and I tear into the four halves. The flesh is so sweet and flavoursome, the salt and pepper seasoning so moreish. This is the type of meal that you can only really eat properly with your fingers. You will definitely need the wet napkins provided to clean up the mess on completion.


We decide that an entree and main was more than enough to sate us after the Twelve Boar Buffalo Wings with Sweet Potato Fries and Coleslaw for lunch. The bill arrives and we leave happily, another great date night at Thai Siam Cleveland.

Thai Siam, Cleveland, Brisbane: Moreton Bay Bugs; BBQ Pork with Plum Sauce


It's date night and we had booked a table at Thai Siam in Queen Street, Cleveland for Easter Saturday. We arrive at 6pm and there are already most of the tables filled. It's a nice Autumn night and the aroma of food in the air is intoxicating.

We settle down with the drinks menu first. Hubby chooses a Crown Lager and I opt for a Cosmopolitan cocktail. It's delicious!


Next we peruse the menu for what seems like the twentieth time. I go for a favourite meal of Moreton Bay Bugs with Salt & Pepper seasoning. Hubby chooses BBQ Pork with Plum sauce.

[ BBQ Pork with Plum Sauce ($19) ]

There were five halves of  Moreton Bay bugs and they were delicious. I could only eat three because I had eaten a large lunch but what I did have I loved. Hubby was the same, he loved what he could eat but he didn't eat much. That just means dinner is sorted tonight! 


I ordered some Dragon Pearl Thai green tea from the drinks menu. I was curious as I hadn't heard of it before. Anna informed me that the tea leaves were in tiny balls and that the tea was very nice. She was right - I loved the flavour, as did hubby, It was very nice to cleanse the palate after the Moreton Bay bugs. 

Another amazing night at the Thai Siam restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Thai Siam, Cleveland: Roast Curry Duck, Seafood with Oyster Sauce

It's Friday night date night again and a visit to our favourite, the Thai Siam.

The lovely Josh takes our order


A firm favourite Thai meal is Red Curry Duck. It is just so flavoursome and hearty. I've eaten duck so many times you think I'd be quackers! Sorry for the pun. 


Hubby chose some seafood in oyster sauce. Something he felt would be kind to his stomach. It was very nice - I had a taste. 


The lovely Anna Luan

Thai Siam: Steamed pacific oysters, stir fry fish with ginger, chilli and basil

A Saturday night Date Night at the Thai Siam. I'm in the mood for oysters and Thai Siam has some of the most amazing steamed pacific oysters that are twice or three times larger than normal and delicious.




Afterwards we ordered some stir fry fish with ginger, chilli and basil. Another favourite dish we order over and over again. The combination of ginger, chilli and basil with the fish is a very tasty stir fry. The fish was well cooked and the vegetables also. The coconut rice that accompanies it makes it a perfect meal.

Thai Siam: Roast Duck Salad, Soft Shell Crab

I was craving Roast Duck Salad so we headed to Thai Siam in Queen Street, Cleveland. I just love this salad. The succulent roast duck and the zingy salad dressing, It's delicious. 


 Hubby chose some fried soft shell crab but felt it was a little cold when it arrived so they heated it up for him. He said it was a little oily but he ate most of it. He's a very picky eater, not like me.

Thai Siam: Moreton Bay Bugs, Cosmopolitan

Another date night at Thai Siam in Queen Street Cleveland. It starts with a Cosmopolitan cocktail from the bar. Delicious!


Tonight I felt like one of the Chef's Specialities - Morteon Bay Bugs done in a salt and pepper seasoning. Delicious. The salty morsels you pull out of the shells have a touch of five spice and are utterly delicious. 

Always satisfying and the salad beneath has a nice chilli zing to it.
