Went with a group of friends to Po Bro’s for dinner and drinks on the weekend (Opp. Little Easy at the top of Franklin Rd). The ‘Ms Ho’s Som Tum’ was really tasty, with a good amount of spice and really fresh crunchy ingredients. The soft shell crab and pork belly included in the dish were tasty and a good addition to the traditional Som Tum dish - it balanced out the spice well. The ‘Pork Belly Chilli Jam’ was basically a really flavourful curry with tender pork belly - loved it. Thai Larb Salad is a personal favourite, but I’d never tried a duck one until here and I wasn’t disappointed. Try the crunchy chicken skin entree too.
We ordered based on the staff’s recommendations, which was good because we had range of different dishes with different textures and tastes - Spicy, Zesty and Rich, which all balanced out nicely. It’s quite different to any other place in ponsonby. It’s not pretentious and is the type of place that if you have good company you can stay for hours rather than eating and moving on to bars afterwards. The vibe was good and so was the food.
Chur Po Bro’s, I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu later!
Went to Po Brothers after seeing after seeing the Seafood Tom Yum Noodle and Deep Fried Bao Bun pop up on my FB news feed. This place did not disappoint. The food was delicious, staff were friendly, and the intimate vibe accompanied by amazing decor making it impossible not to enjoy myself. The menu took center stage as the friendly waitress made time for our group of four, explaining what was the best way to order and making recommendations on what the 'crowd favourites' were. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! Will be back for sure. It was the perfect way to start off the night!!
That was the best Asian fusion I've had in a while. Everything is full of flavour and tasted delicious. Cocktails are yum and to top it off the dessert bao was amazing. Everyone was really friendly! We will be back!!
