| Located in Yarraville, one of Melbourne's inner-western suburbs, Yim Yam is part of the constantly improving Ballarat Street. The decor is simple - there are flowers atop unclothed blond wood tables, stylish paintings adorn spring green panels on the walls and you also get a great view of a busy pack of chefs dressed in black, preparing your meals in the bustling kitchen.
As the owner, Walaipan Hatfield, was originally from Thailand but lived in Laos for three years, her menu has taken inspiration from the home-style cooking of these two countries. Thai inspiration features predominately on the menu, although it is still possible to have an entirely Laotian meal. The food is beautifully prepared, well priced and most of all, excellent. The mix of flavours and textures has to be tasted to be believed.
Chef: Walaipan Hatfield
