"...FRIENDS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.. BUT, WE FOUND THE CURRIES - BELOW AVERAGE.. SORRY GUYS..!"
I'd heard about TO SA BIANG, Greville Road, Prahran from friends - When I saw the Groupon Deal, I jumped at it immediately...
The Mixed Entree Platter was delish - 4 pcs each - all home-made - loved their Sweet Chilli and Peanut Sauces...
Both the Padang Beef Curry and the Green Chicken Curry had lovely flavour, but the cook was definitely very mean with the Vegetables and Meats - I'd describe the 2 dishes as watery - and with nil substance...
The steamed Red Rice was nice...
That was it for food - Not quite the '6 course banquet' it was sold as... but anyway...
I'd bought a 4 person voucher but only 3 of us turned up [luckily the other, a big appetite, couldn't make it.. sorry, mate..] - We ordered another 3 bowls of rice to finish off the sauce left in the curry bowls - We weren't anywhere near full, and would'v really liked to have had a look at the menu, but staff made it pretty obvious they wanted to close - We decided we better leave...
I must mention that the complimentary glasses of Red Wine came from a good bottle - I'd say a decent Cab Sav - smooth and full-bodied...
Cost:
-Groupon Voucher for 4 - $75
-Extra 3 small Steamed White Rice and 1 Lemonade - $12
Not good value - I've had much better take-away Thai food for half that price, including a bottle-shop bought, very drinkable Sth Aussie Red...
So sorry, I loved the space and had high hopes, but I really do got to "tell it as I experienced it..."
