If at first you don't succeed, try Thai again

So we resolved to go to a Thai restaurant, Braunwin and I, and wandered around Soho, expecting one on every corner. And there was one on every corner but it was Sunday and some of them were shut. We ended up in a vegetarian buffet just off Oxford St, which was pleasant enough, but not really what we were looking for. Having spotted somewhere on Streatham High Road we thought we'd try that.

We went in, and had some fabulous starters and a very tasty main course, all served in a friendly and attentive manner. Then we waited to order coffee. And we waited. And we waited. Twenty minutes later we had stacked our plates for the waiter, and we'd decided we didn't want coffee any more, so we asked for the bill. And we waited.

A full 35 minutes after we had finished eating, we left the restaurant.Being the honest people we are, we left the money on the table, as close to accurate as we could, but they thanked us either way, and part of me would still like to have walked out with a few extra notes in my pocket. I guess if I had been less English, I might have made a fuss. As it was we left quietly, and then discussed how useless they had been all the way home.

Excellent food though. If you're taking away, I can't recommend it highly enough.
