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?

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.

      Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
