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 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West - this latter flight path affects many of us in South East London - Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Docklands. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft  Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
