Money Bags Thai Takeaway is a Thai restaurant and takeaway at 85 Main Rd in Redcliffs, Christchurch, rated 4.3 on Google, with its Facebook page serving as its website. A good Thai takeaway lives or dies on balance — that shifting blend of hot, sour, salty and sweet that separates a proper curry from a sweet sauce with a chilli in it. Most kitchens will cook to order and can adjust the heat, so it pays to ask: a medium from one place can be fierce from another. Curries and stir-fries travel well and often taste even better the next day, while noodle dishes like pad thai are best eaten within the hour. A short menu done well usually beats a long one, and regulars tend to settle on two or three dishes and stick with them. For Redcliffs locals wanting Thai without the wait for a table, this Main Rd spot makes an easy call.
