We began with ocean soup — so full of varied seafood, the contents rose out of the broth like a Kraken.
With its sizzling spicy liquor, it was all occurring, proper from that first wonderful mouthful.
Each scoopful delivered an honest blended portion — smooth squid, alongside meaty king prawns, with fishy bits to tempt the palate.
Mussels of their shells, sharing house with creamy button mushrooms.
Bobbing alongside had been sundry greens, pak choi and crimson peppers — all infused with that invigorating herby fusion.
Our different starter was tofu and cashews. Tofu is a check of any chef’s mettle and, at Thai Journey, this generally bland and inconsequential ingredient, turned out to be fairly the other.
It was properly smoked and its spongy texture absorbed the dish’s tasty gravy — releasing an advanced umami flavour.
Flash-fried nutty cashews, recent peppers and spring onions added to the feel pleasure.
But it was that unbelievable sauce, which stored us coming again for extra — and we ate the lot.
The first style of candy and bitter battered hen, elicited a definite ‘wow’ for the sauce’s tangible honey notice, though, because the meal went on, the honey dominated — even when moderated with the accompanying coconut rice and stir-fried greens.
Thai massaman hen curry is a agency favorite with us.
Here, the southern Thai curry was gentle, but supremely fragrant, with these scorched cashews once more. It was completely scrumptious.
Who’s not going to attempt a dessert referred to as ‘surprise ball’?
With its crispy filo pastry, it was an pleasing indulgence. Green pancake was an odd unsweet dessert, but not savoury both.
The smooth rolled pancakes had been served with shredded coconut ice cream.
The greenness got here from the aromatic pandan leaf. This inventory Asian ingredient had been used not solely within the yielding pancake, but in addition its velvety custard centre.
The general texture was melt-your-mouth. An uncommon but delectable finish to the meal.
We loved Thai Journey’s extraordinarily slick and charming service, in its engaging and homely surroundings.
The meals was actually above par, with acquainted dishes given a substantial edge with inventive flavours and no scrimping on components.
We even preferred the horny black dessert spoons!
