I think the best feature of that restaurant was that it was open for business that evening, Charlie. Though it wasn’t worthy of a Michelin star, things could have been much worse given the power outages and all. I’ve not had fried ice cream in ages. What a treat!

I’m glad you found somewhere to eat Charlie, I bet a lot of places just shut down for the evening. Those calamari look disappointing, but the mains sound nice. Alfie must have been impressed with that icecream, sprinkles and all! Xox

Mr. N loves fried calamari is well. Actually both of the kids do. They order that every time we go out for pizza or Italian. This sounds like it was a nice evening (despite the weather).

I think deep-fried ice cream redeems even the shabbiest of decor. 🙂 So glad they were willing to open just for you. 🙂

Given that everyone lost power you were so lucky to find somewhere open. I love Thai food and those Curry Puffs look especially delicious!

Thai is a standard ‘go to’ when travelling for precisely the reasons you note – it is predictable and generally fresh and well prepared. Or at least, it is in Australia (and no doubt, obviously, in Asia) – I have found it far less predictable elsewhere! I’m glad you found somewhere to serve you at the end of your turbulent afternoon.

This particular Thai establishment reminds me of one I enjoy near where I work. It isn’t much to look at, hasn’t been updated in years, but it’s clean and the food is reliable. I do like Thai! I’m glad you had a pleasant meal, warm and satisfying, given the circumstances of that particular day. I haven’t had the fried ice cream. That looks pretty interesting!
