Lunch at Ying Thai, 110 Lygon St Carlton

Best green Thai chicken curry (2nd pic) I've had in a while. No
"chicken smell" and the meat was so soft. 9/10. :)
The other dish (1st pic) was tender beef filet with homemade sauce and
rice. Joe thinks it's about 7.5/10. Not bad but not great either.

*Update: unfortunately, the Thai green curry dish gave me severe food poisoning. :(
