Called up Nid Ting the other night to order take-away. I asked the lady on the other line if they…read morehad a website so that I could look at their menu online, before placing the final order. She informed me that, unfortunately, they don't have a website, but that instead she knew the menu inside out and would be more more than happy to help me make a decision: I loved the idea of having a "human" or "interactive" menu and so I agreed on the deal. I was ordering dinner for a group of four, one of the woman being pregnant. This pregnant woman put in a request for beef and so I told the lady on the other line that, amongst others, I definitely needed some beef dishes...don't ever screw with a pregnant woman ;-) This is where it became interesting; I remember having eaten some lemon-grass beef dish at another Thai restaurant and so I asked her if they had something like this on the menu. In her lovely Thai accent she then went on to explain up me that while this is a possible combination, but that I'm fact in traditional Thai cuisine beef is not paired with lemon grass. If I wanted to have a nice beef dish, she'd recommend stir-fried beef with Thai basil. Or, the marinated beef salad. On the other hand, if I wanted the lemon grass, she'd suggest the Tom Yum soup. Needless to say, with such a lovely and informative interactive menu, I followed all of her suggestions. On top of that, I also ordered a red duck curry, a Pad Thai (with prawns and not beef, obviously) as well as a mixed starter and some egg fried rice and white rice. I thanked her and 15 minutes later I showed up at the restaurant to pick up my order. It was a Friday evening and every table was filled. (With it being so busy, I even more appreciated that they has taken so much time for me on the phone earlier.) The food was almost ready - thank goodness, or else the pregnant lady might have changed her desire and maybe demanded lamb instead of beef ;-) Lastly, I should mention that the food was great...and even the pregnant friend was happy as a puppy! Note: it's take-away only, no delivery.

We tried: - Pad Thai = above average and really tasty, although it only contained about four prawns (sad face) - Spring rolls = not bad, but nothing to write home about - Duck Curry = I loved this one, is had a gorgeous, slightly spicy flavour - Stir fried veggies with Oyster sauce = Not bad - Ribs marinated in honey = Oooh these were good, but the lads ate them so fast I only got to try one!

You can buy the puffed up tofu by the bag at Asian supermarkets for a really cheap price. They basically warmed a few cubes up in the oven and served it with chili sauce. When something says "tempura", I was expecting firm tofu to be dipped in fragrant light batter and flash fried. 3. Pad Kee Mao - What I received was most definitely NOT Pad Kee Mao and I have had this dish many times - it is one of my favorites to order at Thai restaurants! Wrong type of noodles used and weak sauce (it tasted like they only used soy sauce and a bit of sugar to stir fry?) 4. Pineapple Fried Rice - Bland x 100. It needs more spices, herbs, etc. The good thing is they offer free delivery within a five mile radius the last time we ordered (back in late April).

A change of direction though is probably a good thing. There are plenty of European restaurants around here but good Asian food there isn't. Here they serve lots of stir fries and curries plus a really good list of salads. I've had the red curry here - chicken variety and coconut rice which I tend to have in Thai restaurants all over the place. I'm boring but at least any comparison is always a fair test. This one was nice, good quality meat and loads of flavour - about £10 in total. There is also a set lunch, 2 course menu for £8.95 which isn't bad around here. Service was nice too - good luck to this one.

The Thai had some big, big shoes to fill. Our go-to Thai had been the Hand and Flower Pub, where…read morethe cocktails were delish and we discovered Yum Neau, which has forever changed the face of salads at Casa Findingmoxie. But, the crunch killed it. Dead. So, it took some time before I was able to look at another neighbourhood Thai joint without grieving and residual bitterness. One unusually hungover Saturday, we wandered up for lunch and got taken in by the two course lunch for under £9. We shouldn't have liked it. We were grossly hungover and were still hung up on the Hand and Flower. But from the moment we walked in, we loved the the cool purple and fuschia of the walls, the edgy and chilled music, and the beautiful menu (with photos that actually looked delicious). We had a basic basil and chili chicken stirfry, Tom Yum soup, and Pad See Ew. The stirfry was very flavourful but light. The soup was mildly spicy and warming with just the right amount of coconut milk (too much is disaster!) The Pad See Ew was very tasty-- though just bordering on the slightly salty. Strangely, it was made with spaghetti like egg noodles and not the fat flat noodles I'm used to. But I figure next time, I could just ask for it how I like it. Order the ice cream--it's very generous and in a proper ice cream parlor glass. [UPDATE: the staff were very happy to substitute flat noodles on our second order! Yum!] Prices are mostly under a tenner and they do takeaway. Service was very friendly and present. There appeared to be a decent cocktail menu, but for reasons alluded to above, we could not sample its wares. Next time! Long story long, we're happy to make this our local Thai. Goodbye, sweet Hand and Flower.

It's an additional 50p but I was assured that this extra expense was well worth it for the divine coconut flavour which drenched the rice. I'm a sucker for a recommendation but sadly, I was to be disappointed. Whereas the nice people at Papaya shovel loads of curry over a decent portion of rice, leaving it wonderfully juicy and topped with plenty of chicken, Wheat are considerably less generous. The pots are smaller and extremely rice-heavy. Another colleague tried it before me and warned that I should request extra sauce, which I did, but it came at a price; the server only gave me a measly single spoon of chicken, and even having made that sacrifice, it was still comparatively dry. Although the promised coconutty flavour was good (at least what I could tentatively discern through the wads of dry rice), it wasn't nearly good enough to warrant the extra cash. All in all, a pale imitation of its deservedly far more popular neighbour. If you're too scared to ventue down a Soho sidestreet, visit Wheat. But as a local, I'll be sticking with Papaya.

What you need to know is that Mantanah is way way down in Crystal Palace, run by a wonderful group of Thais and serving dishes that are just right on every level and with fresh ingredients flown in weekly from Thailand. Jackfruit, mango, coconut, banana blossom and bamboo shoots - it's a place for a foodie day trip. Trust me. It's cheap, flavourful, homely and authentic. The menu is long and full of surprises and some of the more obscure yet rewarding Thai dishes from the far North, the fiery East or the dirty South. If it's noodles you're after, they can't be beat. Curries; again, they excel. And if you're vegetarian then this will be HEAVEN for you. With almost as many meat-free dishes as the rest of the menu, with fun names and interesting flavours. Our meal was starters of fish cakes, satay and duck spring rolls, followed by coconut rice with a hot Northern chicken curry with peanuts and tumeric, an amazing dish of pork and young jackfruit and a scorching sweet red curry of pork and coconut flesh. Every mouthful tasted just right, and our only regret was not trying the rest of the menu. A recent addition to Mantanah is a phrase guide for Thai on each table, so if you'd like to learn a few words then get here for a meal. In fact, if you're heading to Thailand for any reason soon then a preparatory meal at Mantanah is a must. My dining companion and I don't need to know what's what though... we know Mantanah is Aroi Maak Maak.
