Thanks foxy,

@Sue


I'm not a huge fan of Pad Thai, but now I'm curious as to why you weren't as keen! I felt that their style was quite fresh and light though without masses of sauce so maybe that would be a factor?


My other fave is pad kra prao so will try that next!

The Pad Thai we had could certainly not be described as "fresh and light", more "bland, tasteless and stodgy"


There wouldn't be a sauce with Pad Thai.


May try once more with something else, as perhaps we were unlucky, but with a minimum charge of ?20 it had better be good :))

Fair enough.


I don't consider something a sauce if it isn't actually coating the noodles :)

Personally I often find Pad Thai kinda bland- it's like the comfort food of Thailand! I ordered it from Thai Corner and put 3/4 of it in the bin- it was yuk.


The pad thai I've had from Matoom hasn't exactly been light (as I say, I'm not sure it's meant to be), but it certainly had freshness to it, including crunch and fresh herbs.


I've eaten dim sum countless times at Dragon Castle- not bad at all

Oh Yes. Mine too. Beef with Thai Basil. It's so quick and easy to make it's a favourite in our house. SMBS sells great Thai basil if you need it. And this is the best recipe ever:

The only crunch in mine was from a few bits of carrot!

THANK YOU! This is awesome. I was just thinking last night that I would LOVE to try and cook more Thai food at home.


If anyone has a recipe for a good Pad Kee Mao/Pad See Ew, I would love to know! :)


Also - re. fresh and light at Matoom, I think I was basing this off the samosas which were basically good quality chicken rapped in light pastry - deeeeeeeelish.


THANKS!

... and back to Mr Liu!


Some photos of the exterior and interior. It looks like the tablecloths have gone and it now has new flooring and decor.


I'm keen to know if any other regulars have tried the food and if it's the same/better/worse?

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
