| - This restaurant has been on my "to-do" list for a while now and I finally got the chance to go.
Our first attempt was a failure as their debit/credit machine was down and were only accepting something called "cash". Huh. Oh well, off to our favourite Indian place instead.
Our next attempt was a hit! The restaurant was empty and we were told to sit wherever we wanted. We selected a table and my husband went to use the restroom before settling in to peruse the menu. He quickly returned to the counter asking for the key...?
I looked at him and mouthed "the key?" to which, he shrugged and returned to the restroom with said key in hand.
Meanwhile a mother and her young child had entered the restaurant. The mother immediately went to the counter to either place or pickup their order and the young girl, who appeared to be busting at the seams, went off to the restroom.
As my husband was just exiting, he handed the key to the girl and as he retuned to our table, advised the lady who had given the key to him.
Mistake.
My husband was reprimanded for doing this and was instructed that, in future, the key MUST be retuned to her.
Our order placing was rushed and almost seemed to be an inconvenience. The restaurant had started to fill up so that's fair, I guess.
The food came and I was satisfied with the portion size but admittedly, I expected more for the price.
I ordered Mussaman Curry with chicken and it was really quite good. I don't know of any other Thai place in Pickering that offered Mussaman Curry and it's definitely one of my favourite dishes so I was happy to see it and simply had to order it! My husband ordered the Cashew Chicken. We also ordered some spring rolls just to live on the edge.
Everything we ordered tasted great and I left with a happy belly... I'm just not convinced with the experience. I have often thought of my curry dish since that night and I will likely go back to get it again... but I think next time, I'll opt for a takeaway instead.
