| - My boyfriend and I had a few Just Eat coupons kicking around and decided to order some food to use it up before they expired. Thai Lime had some pretty good reviews and they offer a variety of dishes so we thought we'd check it out and get some delivery.
While I've heard of good things from this place, I'm definitely a bit pickier considering some of the great and relatively affordable places available downtown, like Khao San Road, Sukhothai and Golden Thai. Heck, even Thai Express is pretty good for a fast-food place!
Our order at Thai Lime was as follows: Lamb Malay Curry, Chicken Pad See-Ew and the Malay Roti. While my boyfriend didn't mind it as much as I did, I found the portions, while plentiful, were mainly attributed to the heavy sauce.
Much of the volume of the meal was due to excessive grease and fat. Which isn't to say that it didn't taste good, just that it was absolutely greasy. It was the kind of delivery food that has the right amount of fat and flavour to make it taste better reheated in the microwave for lunch than it did as fresh food for dinner. The Pad See-Ew was pretty average, a little overly sweet, but when I mixed it up with the curry it gave the noodles more bite and made them more interesting. The Malay Roti was tasty, but also very greasy.
I'll give Thai Lime another shot, but only in my neighbourhood where options are limited.
