At 2pm it was completely empty except for us. But half an hour later a couple more tables were filled. From the advertising, it seems like it would be busy on weekend nights.

Springrolls with Sweet and Sour Sauce and Salad €5.00
(that’s a lot of s’s!)
springrolls
First time I’ve encountered crunchy fried veggie springrolls here! Really yummy with the spicy sweet chili sauce.

Fresh Fish Fillet in Coconut Sauce with Lemongrass and Basmati Rice €10.90
fish
Really sour, really spicy, really creamy coconutty good. A medium sized soft white fish fillet with lots of mushrooms, a nice surprise for mushroom-loving me! Tastes like tom yum soup.

Thai Curry with Coconut Milk, Vegetables and Basmati rice, Prawns €9.90
(or tofu, chicken, or vegetable for a bit cheaper)
curry
Sweet and salty coconut curry with plump raw looking shrimp (not raw, also not spicy). I can’t tell if Thai curries have always been this salty. But the other Thai places here were just as salty. I need to check up my taste buds. Still yummy though.
