Tasty Thai

After a wander along the Sunday Walking Street market and snacking on the odd street-stall goody, we decided it was time for a proper meal. We were just along the road from The House, where we ate last night (See Fusion Fare below), and so decided to try out their next-door sister restaurant, Ginger. A very different set-up all together from The House, Ginger shares its premises with a boutique of the same name, selling jewellery and home items, and has more of a coffee-shop ambience. The food is strictly Thai, although you can also order from The House menu, and also from that of their other venture, a Moroccan Tapas bar.

We chose Thai, and shared the Pork and Prawn Parcels with a Plum Sauce to begin, which did not disappoint. The light crisp batter was deliciously crunchy when bitten into, and the sweet plum sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the gorgeously sticky insides.

We followed these up with a very tasty Pan Fried Sea Bass with Green Peppercorns and Basil, and a Red Beef Curry.

The red curry was a more watery dish than the Beef Panang we had made at the Kao Hom Cookery School previously, and we concluded that we prefer the thicker Panang Style curry, although this one was still very good.

So another successful Thai Meal… although we did seem to spend rather a long time comparing and then congratulating ourselves on what great chefs we had been the day before…
