Today I had the worst bowl of noodles ever.
I planned to go to the movies.. had given myself at least an hour to eat. Went to Ruby Thai in Coolangatta. I wasn't expecting anything fantastic, but was not expecting disgusting. It was simply ghastly. Thai food is not done all that well in the southern end of the coast, but this was horrid. The menu said rice noodles with chilli, basil and vegetables (I may have read fresh in that mix) what I received for $17.50 was so bad that I really couldn't eat it. It was dried rice noodles in a sort of ketchup/ chilli sauce. It was like a v. bad sweet and sour. I was really hungry and by myself, so I thought I'll eat a bit and go. I couldn't; it was horrid. The waitress at least queried why my returned plate was full. I told her her why it was bad, but I would accept full responsibility for the bill. Meanwhile the owners sitting at the only occupied table seemed to be eating quite nice food, but didn't care about the situation at my table. I paid my bill in full... $21.00 and left very hungry. I over heard them talking about their trade. Good weather during the day so that people go to the beach.... and then to their restaurant at night. Guess that's what you get for dining in the tourist strip.
