Last night out in Berlin and we couldn't have found a better place to have a nice meal.
After a long day visiting this vibrant city, we found ourselves looking for a restaurant that would still serve food at 10.30PM. My two colleagues and I were ready to end up in a kebab in a shady neighbourhood but luckily enough, we stumble upon a fancy thai restaurant.
We weren't sure if it was and asian fusion cuisine of some sort but at that point, we were just hungry!
I can't say much about the decor because we ate outside but from the window, the interior looked classy with a hint of Asia. What I liked the most about what was going on inside is we could see the cooks' kitchen from our table. The transparence of the food preparation opened up my appetite!
The staff were really nice and welcoming. Despite de fact that their kitchen was going to close in 10 min, they still accepted to serve us, without any sense of annoyance. The waitress greeted us with warm hand towels and really took the time to explain the menu. She gave us time to order, coming back twice because I had to translate the menu to my colleagues.
The food was A-MAZING ! I ordered the Krapao Corn Soup as a starter and I knew for the moment I tasted the blend of spices that this was seriously going to be a culinary experience. The texture, the perfume and the richness of flavours was such a delight at each spoonful. When I saw my main dish(Massaman Mai), I didn't know where to start because it looked like a piece of art so I just tasted each composant separately (which was a delight to start with) and combining everything was mind-blowing !
I have never tasted anything like this in Asian cuisine before and this fortuit discovery was the cherry on top of our Berlin trip.
If you're ever around the Mitte neighbourhood with an open-mind and an empty stomach, this is the place for you ! read more
