Ellie: We were this close to getting the Pad Thai but decided not to! Damn, wish I'd gone for that now. FFichiban: Haha doooo it Steph: Yep definitely! Simon: The left over pieces were ridiculously large. I felt like an entire chocolate bar had been left in my cup. In regards to the price I think in terms of value it can't compete against a place like I-San (RIP :( ), but is probably up there with Chat Thai. Noel: I think if the chunks were easier to chew I'd have liked it more, I didn't mind the walnuts just the huge chocolate bits! mademoiselle delicieuse: Definitely recommended for her! Yas: lol shush! There were too many for me! Ooh I wanted to try coffee too. Helen: Haha not all of us are crazy like some who shall remain unnamed... Was nice and balmy by the time we got there, much preferred! Jacq: Som Tum salad is my favourite! I think I order it at every Thai restaurant I go to. Haha peanut butter is next on my list to try! Adrian: Haha sadly it's a little too far out for me, I'll probably try it again from a supermarket. Penny: lol I hear you, Ice-cream in all forms is awesome. Christie: Thanks :)! Arwen: Thanks arwen! The tomatoes were my favourite part, whenever I cook it myself I always throw them in early to suck up as much soup as possible. beets: I agree with you 100%! That said I tried the Chocolate brownie and it had mushy brownie chunks in it which were much easier to eat. I think I'm just a lazy ice-cream eater Moya: Glad to see I’m not the only one!

I do like crispy or chewy chunks though!
