Having a tough time finding authentic thai vegetarian food in thailand (due to all the lard they use for cooking and also adding meat to almost everything except mango sticky rice dessert), I was very thrilled to find a good vegetarian restaurant in Melbourne, favored by both vegetarian and non-vegetarians. Ying Thai caters for people with different "expectations" of spiciness, ranging from very mild to extra spicy.
