Lived in Sale for many years and had never dropped into to experience this Thai restaurant so we decided to drop in this Tuesday as we both love Thai food.
When I walked in I was first a little surprised by the small bridge and Koi pond just inside the door. Yes they have Koi in a pond, inside the restaurant. The resturant is a reasonably size and at 7:30pm on a Tuesday had a surprisingly decent crowd, probably between 1/4 and 1/3 of their tables had diners.
The smell of good Thai food is amazing and that was the second thing that hit me, the smell of sizzling spices and wafts of steam springing up from tables around the restaurant. It appears the sizzling plate is a little feature they offer on a lot of their dishes and it certainly adds to the experience to have those chilli smells assault you, I love it but some people may find it overwhelming.
We ordered mixed appetizer selection or curried samosas, fried tofu, spring rolls and corn fritters, all very tasting with sweet chilli dipping sauce.
I also ordered the Weeping Green Tiger, which is a fillet steak and vegetables served on the hot plate with a Thai Green Chilli sauce. The fillet steak was perfectly cooked, very tender and juicy. The veg was a little underwhelming and felt like it may have been steamed a little while earlier and kept warm, rather than being cooked to order, it missed some intangible freshness I couldn't put my finger but was quite okay nonetheless, I couldn't fault the green curry sauce, it had all the right mix of hot, salty, sweet and sour which indicates a good Thai dish, perhaps my only wish was that I had more of the sauce, because of the shallow sizzling plate there was only a fairly light basting and I kind of wish I'd had a bowl of extra sauce to pour over the meat and veg as I ate it.
My wife had the Seafood Red Curry, which I didn't really try as I'm not a huge fan of seafood, though I did take a prawn and it also seemed very good. She had more curry as her meal came in a bowl.
A very enjoyable Thai meal which was only really let down by some small details. read more
