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?

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By vladi · Posted

      Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4

      Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.

      Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
