Sai Thai Chef is an eatery that specializes in Thai cuisine. I have never been since it is quite far from where I live. Today, I was lucky enough to get a drive.
Crab always hits the spot, so I ordered the appetizer Crab Wonton. Five wantons came on a plate, and each wonton was deep-fried crab meat with cream cheese and green onions in wonton pastry. To eat, you dip these in either their peanut or sweet chili sauce.
Having conquered my appetizer, I moved on to my main. It needs no introduction because it was Thailand’s famous dish Pad Thai. This eatery gives the option of four styles to choose from for noodle dishes, including Pad Thai. You can have shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, vegetable, or tofu.
Inside the restaurant, everything was squeaky clean. There was also an HD TV, which displayed beautiful shots of nature.
I am absolutely satisfied that my meal added up to only $27. The Pad Thai was especially worth it.
Sai Thai Chef is a must-stop for foodies who live in southwest London.

Bangkok Pad Thai lies on Richmond St and Piccadilly St downtown. I’ve heard numerous anecdotes from people explaining how good the food is. So tonight, I wanted to find out myself.
Stuffed chicken wings, and grilled eggplant were my starters. Both starters came with their house sweet chili sauce. The wings were boneless and stuffed with seasoning. But the eggplant looked and tasted very much like an omelet. While eating these, I drank a Thai iced tea. This had an exotic, orange colour (because there was star anise and ground tamarind).
The menu describes their Bangkok Pad Thai noodles as their most popular dish, which functioned as my main. It comes to you in a plate with a mound of rice noodles. The mound engulfed carrots, slices of chicken, egg bean sprouts with their homemade sauce. You can add shrimp for $3, mixed vegetables for $2, and cashews for $2. Your plate will also have a wedge of lime and chopped peanuts.
They serve all kinds of alcohol here. Their drink menu has cocktails, martinis, liquor, Scotch, beer, and wine. And the nonalcoholic side features tea, Thai iced tea, smoothies, juice, Shirley Temples, virgin Caesars, soft drinks, and Perrier.
I didn’t have enough room for dessert but almost was tempted by the Bangkok Banana Supreme. The menu states, “sweet plantain wrapped in pastry, deep-fried,” and “topped with coconut cream, chocalate & caramel syrup.”
This was a great opportunity to appreciate Thai cuisine. Bangkok Pad Thai has earned and will keep its legendary status.

Eager for a filling dinner this evening, I bused over to Mykonos. It’s one of London’s popular Greek restaurants.
I enjoyed some fresh bread and butter to start. Then, my server brought me Saganaki (a fried cheese appetizer) and lit it on fire! They have a tradition where they get you to shout “Opa” three times while watching the flame. The fried cheese was sour and tangy in a good way. It reminds me of Gouda.
For my main, I chose the classic Chicken Breast Souvlaki in a pita. The pita was everything I hoped for. Rice and a salad came on the side.
My dinner ended with an intriguing dessert: a custard cake with honey. I loved this. The cake had crystallized sugar on top. They also usually serve this with cinnamon.
I felt right at home with their atmosphere. The two thematic colours are white and light blue. They had a Greek radio station playing on their stereos, and I jammed to upbeat music.
My bill came to $56.
Here’s a big shout-out to Elli for taking care of me!
Mykonos is a terrific option for traditional Greek cuisine and even seafood. It passed all the tests.

Last year, I dined at Thaifoon Downtown, but my distaste for peanuts hindered my experience. Since I was at Masonville tonight, I felt like giving Thaifoon another go.
To start, I snacked on two appetizers. First was their Chicken Satay. After taking the chicken pieces off their skewers, I dipped them in a buttery peanut sauce.
Second were the sliders. These had fried chicken and the same buttery peanut sauce. Minimalist but perfection.
Deep fried ice cream was my dessert. This hit it out of the park! It was flash fried vanilla ice cream with a cookie coating, whipped cream, chocolate, and caramel. I chose to leave out the cinnamon.
Aside from food, the decor is luxurious. The room is lit up with vibrant colours but still maintains a dim atmosphere, allowing for privacy.
I recommend this restaurant chain to those who crave Thai food and especially to peanut lovers.
