In Itis "Eatis Ravintolamaailmaan", restaurant "Ahaan Tam Sang" - along another Thai restaurant located on the other side of the 2nd floor - proposes a selection of Thai street food. I'm not a huge fan of thai food as I prefer the more subtle vietnamese cuisine. But the smell coming out of the kitchen, plus the many thai or asian customers seated all around, and a very persuasive and determined Saila got the better of my hesitation. There's a fairly large choice of thai dishes, along with some japanese ramen soups. The cooks all look thai, which in my book is a good sign, and the prices are reasonable.
So is it any good then? Well...
"Moo Ping Boh Ranh" or grilled pork skewers with "Nam Jim Jaew" chili sauce.
The meat was reasonably tasty and spicy, but was way way too salty. It was like eating a piece of chewy salt lump. Ruined an otherwise good starter.
"Pad See Ew Sen Yai" or stir fried rice noddles with pork, egg, onion, pak choi, paprika & soy sauce.
Good but nothing special. A bit on the bland side and a lack of character. Generic.
We got this dish by mistake because of an order mix up by the kitchen. The wrong dish was a "Pad Thai Tam Sang" or strir fried rice noodles with pork, egg, sprout, spring onion, peanuts & tamarind sauce.
We did sample it. It was like noodles in a very sticky sugary tomato like sauce. Not good at all.
Then finally after complaint, we got our original order: "Pad Sen Udon Kee Mao" or strir fried spicy Udon wheat noodles with pork, egg, holybasil, chili & soy sauce.
The best of the lot. Tender Udon noodles, tasty sauce and the right amount of heat. Excellent.
In a nutshell, this place is a hit and miss. At best ok for a quick lunch, but not so for a dinner.
