No5: KaoSarn

This one is going to be short and sweet. There’s 2 branches of this particular restaurant, and I tried the one near Clapham J. Thai restaurant + cheap + BYOB = can’t really disappoint can it? It certainly didn’t – the food is amazing (FYI thai is my favourite cuisine). They don’t have a corkage charge either (no where should have a corkage charge; its absolutely preposterous. Day time robbery.) We went in a group of 5 and it was perfect for the event: friends birthday dinner.

I ordered the Thai green curry but asked for prawns instead of the chicken or tofu they offered on the menu, I also replaced the normal steamed rice for coconut rice – would definitely recommend this combo. The portions don’t look massive but let me tell you they are very filling. We also shared a variety of starters and the total bill came out as £16 per head – v decent. You don’t realise how much alcohol ups the price of the meal until you don’t order it.

Now for the down sides:

  1. They try and rush you out (they asked us 4 times what we’d like to eat, and after pushing back for the final time they said we had to be out by 9pm due to other bookings. It was 7.30pm..)
  2. Cash only. Not really a downside but just one extra step of prep

As you can see these aren’t really downsides, so go get yourself there as soon as you can. Over and out x
