Description: If you are looking for atmosphere keep on walking. This restaurant has absolutely no atmosphere. It has very plain tables and chairs and paper place mats but the top of our table was hand painted with scenes from Thailand. It is very clean which is always a plus and the service was fast and efficient. There was, however, a fresh rose in a vase on our table so some effort goes into making it a welcoming place.
Al is never a fan of any type of food that hasn’t been sliced off a steer but every so often I actually win the battle of the restaurant choices and this was one of those times. We were tired, and if the truth be known quite crabby, we didn’t feel like dressing up we just wanted to eat and get back to the B&B. We headed out with no plan and this is where we ended up.
It is located very close to the Richard Johnston Inn.
We began our meal with satay. Served with the normal peanut sauce for dipping and also a very good cucumber sauce. We loved it and frankly we could have eaten two portions, it was that good. We even ate up all the leftover sauces and Al who never, and I mean never, eats cucumber was dipping away at the sweet cucumber sauce.
Al ordered the half chicken marinated with Thai spices and I always one for being brave and daring ordered the Thai red curry, hot. What was I thinking...As I sat sipping my Jasmine tea I wondered if I would be able to handle hot Thai spices.
Al’s chicken was just right for him, very flavorful but not too spicy. I just about blew the top of my head off. It was fabulous with lots of peas, red and green peppers, and a coconut milk based sauce that was fantastic but when Thai is spicy it is very spicy. I think all of me broke out in a sweat, it was just about perfect. Thank goodness for the rice which helped to absorb some of the heat and the Jasmine tea for putting out the fire. All in all an excellent experience at a very good price.
