BEST THAI FOOD EVER!
Unfortunately Ive never been to Thailand,so cant compare to there, but its one of my favourite cuisines, and this restaurant hands down gave me the best,most flavorsome dishes Ive ever had at a Thai establishment.
I began with an ice cold glass of fresh watermelon juice.For starters I really wanted to try the Scallops-which they were out of stock of-so opted for the Soft shell crab served on a bed of Green mango and apple.This was AMAZING, the crab was perfectly crisp and hot and paired perfectly with the fresh sweet mango and apple salad,I tried to hold myself back a little so I wouldn't be full for mains, but it was just too good!
For mains I had the Steamed Sea bass with lemongrass,lime and chilli sauce which was just as Mouth-wateringly delicious! The fish was cooked to perfection and the flavors of the sauce absolutely amazing! The sweet, salty,sour,spicy sauce was perfectly balanced and even long after I had finished eating the fish I lapped up every last drop of the sauce like a soup. The mains don't come with a side of rice/ noodles included but you can order this as an extra, as it was just me, and I'm not a starchy person it wasn't necessary. The portion sizes were ideal, presentation great and the food came out super quick.
As the meals were so Delicious I decided I had to try squeeze in some dessert. I asked for the dessert menu straight after my main and the waitress informed me the kitchen was closed and I couldn't order any dessert. This was super disappointing as I had hyped myself up for another delicious meal, but i understood, it would however have been nice ,seeing as though I was already seated and eating , to be informed that the kitchen would close soon and if i wanted dessert I would need to order.
Overall the service was quick, and the decor of the restaurant was clean and pretty, resembling a typical Thai restaurant.I wish I could bring this place home with me to SA as I would eat here every day!
We’ve been back in Blighty two weeks now. An interesting time of adjustment but mostly a time of unpacking and finding the right place for everything hidden away in our tea chests. Leaving Baku, we had an excellent experience with the Rahul Shipping Company () who came, surveyed and conquered by quoting a reasonable airfreight price and then forwarding our 17 boxes on to London while we went on our Iran jaunt. Now, we only had clothes and personal items to ship and no furniture or kitchen equipment unlike so many other expats. My commiserations to them, unpacking has taken me a week and has felt as intense as moving house. All the cupboards and wardrobes here in the London house just seem to have shrunk and are now stuffed to the gills. Of course, it’s easy hanging clothes on hangers and putting them away but, goodness, all the little odds and sods! Don’t they challenge you? The paper clips, the lipsticks, the photographs, the little decorative items, all of them beg to find a home while they lie accumulating in piles in various corners of the house. Having a husband who likes to hold on to old newspapers and ancient credit card receipts, not to mention salt and pepper shakers from the airlines doesn’t help my Germanic drive for order, and I have had to throw one or two rather rumpelstilzkinlike strops, let me tell you!
Just nipped in for a quick bite to eat with my wife, the place was packed and fully booked but they still found space for us. The best Thai food I have eaten outside of Thailand. A real gem.
