Follow the paper lanterns off Charlotte Street, past a CBD car park, and there it is: a kiosk-style kitchen plastered with photos of noodle dishes, a smattering of trestle tables, and steam rising off bowls of broth.
No white tablecloths. No fuss. Just proper Thai street food where you least expect it — the kind of place you tell your friends about.
Say Hi started with one cook and a simple belief — that the best food tastes like home. She grew up in the kitchen, learning at her mum's side: the pounding of the mortar, the patience of a slow-simmered broth, the little tweaks that turn a good bowl into the one you remember.
Years later, that's exactly what she's cooking down a Brisbane laneway — her mum's recipes, made by hand, served the way family does: generously, and with a smile. สหาย means "friend," after all. Pull up a stool and say hi.
