If you like your Thai fresh, modern and a little tongue-in-cheek, Collingwood's Son In Law is the place you're looking for. The name refers to the classic Thai dish tamarind fried eggs with chilli sauce, but it's also a cheeky reference to the tightrope a son walks with his mother in law. The rest of the menu is as bright and fun as the dining room, with traditional Thai offerings as well as some excellent fusion food.
Son in law takes it's name from a famous Thai street food favourite, a dish with a humorous back-story. It’s said that if a mother in law feels her son in law is being less than kind to her daughter, she’ll cook and serve these deep fried eggs as a clear message: be nice because your family jewels are on the line! Perhaps tongue-in-cheek, nonetheless it’s a warning in the form of a delicious but fiery dish. Not one to play it safe, here at Son in Law we bravely balance the two opposing forces of staying true to our authentic and very real Thai roots, while at the same time looking forward, modernising and pushing the boundaries of Thai food in our new home of Melbourne.
