We had a nice meal, with nice wine, and by all accounts a nice desert. It's good to have a Thai restaurant locally and I will be back again... however...
In the menu it thoughtfully says "we can cater for any special requirements, vegan, whatever just ask". So I asked, though I was sure the vege option would be ok, just double checking they knew not to put fish sauce in, I was pretty confident there would be no dairy. I went for the jungle curry, just because Clare had one once and it nearly killed her so I have to eat one at every opportunity. It was not as hot as I was expecting, really pretty mild and not worthy of the three stars on the menu... wait a minute! There is no chilli in this at all! I checked with the waiter who checked with the kitchen who admitted they had left the chilli out because I was a vegan. I guess they just panicked. They made me another one, and it was nice, but still a bit weird.
The wine was good, seemed to be well chosen, difficult to get wine to go with something spicy like that but we had a gewurztraminer that did the job.
This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first moved here sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for favourite places + things, and I hear it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
