Remarks
Appeared in an autumn menu - which was stored in a folder marked 'Menus 1978-79: "Thai Chicken $7.90 (chicken pieces marinated with black peppercorns, garlic and fresh coriander then grilled and served on rice with fresh green vegetable)" Mentioned in a review by Peter Russell-Clarke (Truth Newspaper) on May 19, 1979. "I also had Thai Chicken - chicken pieces marinated with black peppercorns, garlic and fresh coriander, then grilled and served on rice with more fresh vegetables. That was $7.90 and gorgeous. The coriander was just enough to pick up its flavour and not dominate the whole dish."
