Highly recommended.

My only criticism is that you only get 1.5 hours in a sitting. The staff were very polite.

Tamarind Chicken Wings: “fish sauce, tamarind, palm sugar, crispy garlic, coriander” (pronounced tamarind flavour, unlike my last review of another Thai restaurant)

Hand towels.

Papaya Salad with Salted Duck Egg “peanut, dried prawns, fish sauce, lime, scud chilli”

Pork fat’s Larb “smoked chilli, roasted rice powder, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, snake bean”

Green Curry of Grilled Pork Jowl “fish sauce, palm sugar, tamarind, ginger, celery, baby garlic pickle”. (Excellent)

Thai Jasmine Rice

Stir-fry Chinese Broccoli with Shitake Mushroom “vegetarian sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, crispy garlic.” (Delicious)

Thai Omelette with Fermented Sour Sausage “mushroom sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, onion, chilli”. (Very good)

Stir-fried Soft Shell Crab with Chilli and Black Pepper “Long-red chilli, garlic, black pepper, fish sauce, rice vinegar”. (This was my least favourite, the soft shell was too soft)
