On a whim, part of our large sightseeing group decided we weren't done yet or maybe we were…read morestarving so we decided to grab some lunch here while we were in the area. None of us were familiar with the area or restaurant. So let's do a "why not"?!?
Lunchtime makes this a popular spot! Many locals- both adults and kids were on their lunch breaks filling up the tables. We were lucky to be seated right away at a round table! The little things, but it did make our conversation so much easier!
Our server spoke clear English and was nice in helping out with menu items as well. Drinks were immediately served, as we were all thirsty and we gladly sipped our ice cold Singha beer! A small pitcher of water was also on the all the tables which was so much easier than asking for a water refill 10x in the miniature cups.
Our 5 dishes came out quite quick for the amount of people there which was a nice surprise! We ordered a little bit of a few things so all could share family style.
*Fried rice (in a pinneaple) with shrimp- (definitely the show stopper with a beautiful presentation. Taste was good but nothing over the top. A little sweeter than I was expecting.
*Shrimp spring rolls- nicely cut up and perfectly cooked with a fresh filling
* Regular spring rolls- hard to go wrong on these and very flavorful and delicate
*Kale dish with pork- not like the kind of kale I was expecting, but pleasantly surprised, very good and crunchy with a nice sauce
* Curry dish- I don't recall the actual type of curry but it wasn't the normal ones like red, green or yellow. It wasn't my favorite but it was ok. I wasn't keen on the meat which was in it.
My verdict: it was way more food than the 5 of us could handle but we thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and company. If in the area again, I'd definitely come back to try my favorite, pad thai! Plenty of seating, clean restrooms, great service, good food/presentation and decent prices! (Also to note, the seating is outdoors but today the weather was great with a less humidity and they also have plenty of fans.) It was a great "Why not?!?" Life should be about more of them!
