Khun Thai #311

Sometimes kids can be so annoying.  Specially the 7 year old girl at the next table at this Thai restaurant that is standing very close to her Nana and rubbing her all over.  Head, hands, arms, legs.  It is just really annoying.
I am so happy when they leave. 

It is another Sunday night and I have had a great day reading and playing my Broken Sword game and doing 6 loads of washing, then sorting it and then trying to get my head around losing yet another after -school baby sitter and the issues that causes with getting Sally and Lisa to netball training.

I really didn't need an expensively dressed, annoying girl at my much anticipated dinner.

So, let's move on.

Mark and I  have been here before and loved the Tom Yum soup.  Hot, fragrant and spicy filled with fresh ingredients like corn, tomato, coriander, prawns and spring onion, although I am a real girl and only ordered mine medium because when they mean hot they really mean hot.  Yum, yum yum.

While enjoying my Tom yum, I cannot help noticing that this restaurant did get the memo about statement light shades but did not have the wherewithal to invest heavily.  Hence, they have grabbed lots of baking paper and done weird shapes to cover the light bulbs.  Weird.

We had the Pia Choo Chee (Thai style steamed fish).  We love this.  We also had a stir fry which came out colourful, hot , fresh and we devoured the lot.

I really like this place for a cheap and cheerful Thai.  They take a bit longer than normal but they make no apologies for this explaining that "each dish is made with care".  and I believe it.  The whole time you have to listen to the sizzle coming from the open kitchen which I don't find annoying because it proves that they are living up to their promise and also because it drowns out the very annoying Thai violin music. 

Just steer clear of this place if you see that annoying girl rubbing her grandmothers hair into knots while the parents look on fondly.
