From reading your blog, this restaurant definitely offers some interesting Thai fare - nothing that I've seen before! - must try one day :) I walked past this place last week and it was PACKED.

I guess that could make sense, but somehow I wish the implication was "didn't get stressed and therefore didn't die a too horrible death" rather than "therefore was delicious"... My favourite venison story involves me showing people a photo of me standing next to a wild deer at Domaine du Chasseur in Mauritius, and then showing a picture of kebabs and saying "Guess what I had for lunch an hour later?" *wicked glint* Hmm… I guess that could make sense, but somehow I wish the implication was “didn’t get stressed and therefore didn’t die a too horrible death” rather than “therefore was delicious”…

I wonder how it would compete with the crispy fish from Spirit House - yum! Hannah - yep the venison was great, so well cooked and delicious. My favourite venison story - I had some venison at Vue de Monde and the waiter told us that this venison had been "shot from a helicopter". Apparently killing the meat in this way meant that the animal didn't get stressed (and therefore tense and not as delicious). Ridiculous story and I felt a bit bad for the poor venison. Was pretty delicious but am unsure if the method made any difference at all!! Joyce – crispy fish sounds great, will definitely have to try it another time.

And how fantastic to see a [relatively] interesting game meat like venison on a menu! Even though I, too, almost always order my oyster natural, I must admit those look quite good!

I remember a whole crispy fish there that was amazing. Jetsetting Joyce I haven’t been there in years and now you’ve just reminded me to return.
