As a whole, this meal is worthy of a total of 3 forks, but some dishes were spectacular and deserve higher marks and indipendent credit. The shrimp mushroom cream soup is one of these. It was spectacular and as you can see, eaten with gusto (it's already been finished in the photo). It was basically a chowder with shrimp instead of clam, and even was served with a patty of butter melted on the top. It was finished before the butter even stopped melting. Hilary and I were clashing spoons before long. We liked the soup so much that we contimplated ordering another bowl and right now I'd say that would've been a fantastic idea. Instead we ate the other dishes we'd ordered, mixed veggies and sweet & sour fish (not an entire fish this time), which were both about average, but whose taste had been diminished by the utter deliciousness of the soup. I can't really even think of the other two indipendent of the soup. I think the S&S fish was decent and the vegetables well cooked so that they retained some of their snap but took on some of the seasoning they were fried in. The soup is really what carried the day and it was easily worth 4 forks, maybe even 4.5.

I'm sort of sad, I dont think you all are eating very well over there... below 3 forks, on average. Certainly you're not going hungry, but where's the little 'find' that has 'out of this world' food that you cant stop raving about? I hope you find it soon and eat to your hearts content! :) xoxo
Are we to assume that you haven't eaten since August 28?? If you have any restaurant/food recommendations in Bangkok, would love to hear them! :)
