Just opened on Thursday at Summer Street (between Rusticos and Union Street, next to the Pizza Express), having been in the New Market before. Still the best value quality grub. We had the Moo Dad Diaw, a Thai Green curry and the Beef (served cold) spicy salad. Thank fuck the pork arrived first because after a couple of mouthfuls of the spicy salad, I could barely taste it and needed some of the green curry to cool the palate down, and that had a nice kick in it. Impossible to eat it all today so took the rest of the beef salad home. It is the spiciest they've ever served it and almost at the limit for me and I'm a huge fan of food that kicks your fucking head in, but only with Thai spices normally. Strongly recommend. Every dish costs around £6 or max £7 and given that they're still getting Thai customers, that kind of says it all. Ok to walk in after 2 but at busy times, phone or e-mail to book. We couldn't get in when we phoned early on Saturday as it was already fully booked. Will be a great success, a superb independent eatery. Glad to hear they have opened up in new premises, the best Thai Restaurant in town IMO. That Thai beef salad is the dogs bollocks, use to clear the plate, spicy sauce, lettuce leafs the lot.

Poodler Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good news about Madame Mews, R_S. I'm there on Thursday, looking forward to it. Was Stacey loyal in the market. Used Siam cottage a couple of weeks ago aswell. aberdeen needs a strong Thai Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Don't like olives at all, thought I'd give them another try a few years ago and had to spit them into my hand. Mingin. 1 Link to comment

I got a bottle from a mate when the laddie was born, I was 36, he'd got it from Cadenheads. It was a blend but decent age and it went down a treat. Ever since then I've loved a wee drop. I'm no expert but a Highland or Lowland malt with decent age goes down a treat. If Balvenie Carribean Cask doesn't do it for you for £40 you'll probably never like it. There's a few independent bottlers you can get immense bargains from but Balvenie is your starter. Link to comment

Haven't been in it but my mates friendly with the owner and commented that it was a bit over priced but good. Same owners have the one at Hazelhead , the old garden centre. Went there a couple of times also good Koh Thai - had a few takeaways. Nowt special. Nae bad. Missus likes it. Link to comment

tommo1903 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 There's loads of good Thais in Aberdeen. Visited Namaste Delhi the other night. Indian tapas style, bloody delicious and dirt cheap. 9/10. Second best Indian in Aberdeen behind Wild Ginger imo. Was at Cafe 52 the other week. Hit and miss. Tiramisu was great. Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'd say so. Less salty and a bit more variety. A lot of Chinese's in Aberdeen are shite anyway Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'd say a lot of Thai stuff is fresher too but basing that on absolutely fuck all evidence or knowledge. Just tastes it. Link to comment
