In einem anderen Programm fanden wir einen englisch-sprachigen Bericht aus London, Verfasser nicht genannt, über: Reviews of Thailändisches Restaurant "Viengthai" in Berlin (Das Photo ist von unserer homepage geklaut) Thailändisches Restaurant "Viengthai" The cook here is a short fat bubblyThai lady who knocks up the most authentic Thai curries in Berlin. Regrettably, it seems that the unavailability of some fresh Thai herbs precludes her from making even more dishes but the menu is comprehensive enough to satisfy any Thai cravings one might develop. It´s not a place that people would normally find in a tourist´s guide, mainly because it´s stuck in a unfashionable part of Wedding. But that´s good, as it´s very seldom packed out, eccept once in a while, when the girls from the Thai brothel across the road comes over for dinner en masse with their clients. The pad thai flat rice noodles are particularly nice as well as the red curries, though I really can not fault any of the other dishes, except of some chewy squid ordered by mistake once. When I worked full time in Berlin, I used to live not to far from here so I would mosey over 2-3 times a week for dinner. The prices have crept up well above inflation over the years and now it´s comparable to prices in, say, Oranienburger Strasse, which is pretty darn cheap compared to London but not compared to other restaurants in the area. The decor is stale Asian and a trifle tatty, as the place has been around a few years, but it´s always clean and the service staff are very pleasant. The cook herself would sometimes come out just to meet old costumers. There are two sections in the restaurant - a small front area near the street window and a inner dim dining hall where sometimes some ladies may be seen whispering with their clients. The atmosphere is not exactly elegant and perhaps it is not the place to bring someone you really want to impress. However, as far as authentic Thai food goes, this place winds hands down for me in Berlin, and is worth coming in a group, especially in the evening, so that you can share and sample more of Su Wan´s cooking! |
