I had one of the worst meals of my life there. I can't even begin to describe how terrible it was. I love Thai food, and this was an absolute abomination.


To be fair, it was on New Year's Day, it was quite a few years back, virtually nowhere else on Lordship Lane was open, many people had therefore ended up at Sema Thai, and the staff seemed rather overwhelmed.


However, that doesn't excuse the pitiful plates of crap we received after a very, very, very long wait.


We have never been back since :(

If I were you I'd get on a 176 and go up to Chinatown- the food there is 'clean' and the atmos is great at New Year....

Er, yeah... Chinatown is renowned for impeccable hygiene. No rats, mice or cockroaches in those places. No way.

Lux Thai- beyond dreadful


Thai Corner- the usual bog standard.....but have had 2 deliveries that have been inedible about a year ago so no more


It's out of ED (just) so I'm probably not allowed to mention it but I've had a number of deliveries from the newish Matoom in Forest Hill and found it fresh, tasty and well above the normal standard. I kinda don't want to advertise it in case it goes down hill!


Would love for Mr L pick up standards but I don't feel hugely optimistic.


And yeah, I agree there's not a lot clean about Chinatown!

Thanks.


Shame they're still serving the same old rubbish. Prawns/beef/chicken in a choice of the familiar, grim-sounding gloopy sauces.

You'd have thought there would be some way they could change the website name to something more memorable - like 148 Chinese, for example, or 148 Chinese SE22.


At present if you put 148 Chinese into Google, nothing relevant comes up.


I'll give the food a try (again) in the hope that things might have improved since we last ate there ....

That?s a free name, there would be a fee for a more professional domain.

sarahtrinh.wixsite.com is an htpps: secure site probably the name of the person who created the site.


I would suspect there is a more appropriate Domain Name yet to be published that will point to the secure site.


in fact http://www.148chinese.com does point to the site.

      House share wanted from September

      By valeenitt · Posted

      Hi fellow forum-ers,  I am in need of getting out of a (mutually) toxic relationship with my husband, but cannot afford to buy or rent anything half decent in the area. I would like for the children not having to change schools and friendship group, their training club etc to maintain some level of stability through the storm. I am looking for a house share with someone in the same position as me who is willing to share rent/bills/chores and... life! Or, maybe, a not so young person who needs help with cleaning, washing, shopping and cooking and has a couple of bedrooms to spare and can do with some extra cash. My children are 17, 14 and 10 well behaved and used to be respectful around people's houses (we're seasoned home exchangers). The eldest is in a fishing school (don't ask) outside London and only comes home for the weekend. The other 2 are into sports, so often training or in competitions during the week/weekend.  If you are interested or know someone who is, please DM me. I know it's a long shot, but I hope somewhere out there someone is able to help us. Also, if you're being through this and can offer advice, that is also welcomed. In case you're wondering, my husband is disabled and won't leave the house (and it seems unfair that we ask him to).

      What second hand car do people recommend?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hi, My automatic nissan juke, much to my shock, having only done 50,000 miles needs a new gear box. Trying to decide to replace gear box or buy a second hand car - always thought Japanese cars were reliable and guess I have just been unlucky. Any advice greatly received - to buy a second hand car or replace gear box. If buying second hand would one suggest dealership or private garage ?? Thank you.
