Would I burst the five-star bubble by writing a two-star review?
Pretty much.
I honestly don't know why people give this place five-stars, I mean - people, go to Thailand and taste real Thai food, then you would know that there's a world difference to Thai food mostly served here, especially in take away places. Then again, it's those Scandinavian tastebuds that trick you, isn't it?
I'm still on a constant hunt to find a good Thai take away place in Amager. I mean Kiin Kiin is alright, but it's so damn expensive for a take away, so being the cheapskate I am - I want to find a nice cheap one that doesn't wander off too much from the original taste.
People reviewing Wanthana's were saying praise about Massaman curry, so Massaman with beef (you can have it with chicken or tofu) was it that I ordered.
Service was quick, efficient and polite - there were no other customers that late Tuesday night so I got my stuff right after I finished my stroll at Holmbladsgade to do some other errand.
Taste? The curry itself is alright, but the filling was disappointing. I don't know how lazy you could get with your cooking? But it was just shreds of meat that's probably been sitting too long in a pot (not in a good way like Rendang), and just those small potatoes cut in two. Whut. There were some cashews thrown in here and there and giant shreds of onion.
I am not sure if this what the other five-star reviewer also received, if yes - shame on you people! :P
No seriously, how could you get even lazier than this? I like to cook potatoes in curry as well, but at least I peeled them off (yes yes, small potatoes need not to be unskinned!) and cut them into smaller pieces so the curry soaks more into the potatoes. Don't even get me started on the meat. Then again, a portion of 80kr (including rice) I couldn't really justify that, could I?
At least they could have done the filling better. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it has to be tasting good and average or mediocre was what that came to mind last night when I ate them.
I'm a lazy cook, and I can do better than this.
PS: and the three chili symbol "stærk" thing? Didn't even feel it at all. read more
