Follow the red glow of neon signage to Chong Co Thai restaurant and bar at Pacific Fair and prepare for ambient dining in a sleek space after a day spent exploring the Gold Coast. Warmed by the soft lighting of simplistic lanterns, Chong Co radiates a relaxing vibe with rustic, earthy features from heavy dark timbers and exposed bricks, while more elegant ornaments and lush pot plants add a stylish, fresh touch. Opt to start with entrees such as deep-fried chicken wrapped in green leaves with a sweet soy dressing and roasted duck pastry rolls with cucumber, spring onion, coriander and hoisin sauce, before deciding between mains of char-grilled marinated pork ribs with spicy Thai relish or perhaps a Chef’s special crispy chicken, vegetable and cashew nut stir-fry with mild chilli jam paste.
