YOUR SOURCE FOR WHAT TO EAT

Som Saa (Commercial Road)

Just Do it! When the opportunity arises, go for it. On a catch up with a friend, on Commercial road with many food places available, we decided to jump at the opportunity to go to a restaurant we had wanted to visit for a while.
Som Saa, on Commercial Road in East London has been wowing diners for a while now. With stiff competition on the road from the likes of Gunpowder, Madame D's and Hot Box, this place still is packed out every night.

My friend and I had booked a table and after a few drinks and debates about whether we wanted to go, we took the courage to go to Som Saa and tackle this famous Thai restaurant. Oh, how glad we were we did.
We didn't order too much between us as we were not overly hungry but also because it all sounded like it would be enough too.

Menu:
  • gai yaang £8.5 thai style grilled chicken leg with tamarind dipping sauce
  • nahm dtok pla thort £17.5 whole deep fried seabass with roasted rice powder and isaan herbs
  • ​gaeng kua nuea yaang £15.5 northern style curry with grilled aged beef rump, apple aubergines and cumin leaves
  • pad phrik king £10 dry red curry of crispy pork with kaffir lime leaf and snake beans
  • khao nieo | khao hom mali £3 sticky rice | jasmine rice (free refills)​
The chicken (above) started our adventure to Som Saa and this was a good warm welcome. Grilled with the extra char to add more depth, the sauce was a must with it. Dipped and becoming nice and sticky. A good start to the evening.

The two curry dishes or pork and beef were also very tasty. They brought along the Thailand kick with the thai chillies knocking my friend for six and some. He was literally out for the count and had to take a time out. He risked eating a whole chilli - lesson learnt.

The Sea Bass was the star of the evening and the restaurant and probably my whole week. Fried to almost perfection with good amount of meat. Fragrant, spice, fresh and zingy. Oh so Good

GOOD TIMES: Vibe, food and venue- All
WATCH OUT: Book well in advance to not be disappointed with a potential two hour wait
OMG: It's all about that Sea Bass.
