And on an aside, kudos to most, if not all, Brixton Village places for knocking up such super food with such limited kitchen space!Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-47265511798450368112011-10-19T17:00:28.756+01:002011-10-19T17:00:28.756+01:00It's a shame that it's almost impossible t...It's a shame that it's almost impossible to find a good pad thai in London. But Some of the dishes at Kaosarn are very good indeed. I had a decently spicy pork stir fry that was pretty tasty indeed. <br /><br />I haven't tried the noodle soup, but from what you say, it sounds like a winner. Next time i am down that way, i'll give it a go.<br /><br />Apparently they cook everything on electric, which is kind of impressive if you think about it.The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-22718916854081392402011-10-17T13:19:17.365+01:002011-10-17T13:19:17.365+01:00Mzungu - glad you liked it!

Yes totally different style of food comparable with Thai 101. <br />I like their short, brief and well cooked menu, which with what we had was far superior to Thai Kitchen 101.Mzunguhttp://www.ilivetoeatandeattolive.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-6750399146463554862011-10-16T15:15:11.992+01:002011-10-16T15:15:11.992+01:00Mzungu - do give it a try although the two places ...Mzungu - do give it a try although the two places aren't directly comparable, as Kaosarn's menu is much briefer than 101 Thai Kitchen's.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-25188769514249473562011-10-15T00:04:07.559+01:002011-10-15T00:04:07.559+01:00Congratulations on your 100th.....

I didn't need to ask and thought the flavours were properly full-on and uncompromised. That said, I guess it does no harm to make sure you get it authentically seasoned. <br /><br />Susan - welcome! Let's hope the crew from your fave Seattle haunt don't have a wicked sense of humour! I hope you enjoy it.<br /><br />Kay - that's the beauty of Brixton Market & Brixton Village - there are heaps of affordable eateries. It's almost like a London version of a hawker centre or a dai pai dong!

I have a business card from my favourite Thai restaurant in Seattle on which is written (in Thai), please made this dish "Thai spicy." (At least I hope that's what it says -- since I don't read Thai, it could say, "don't forget to wipe your arse before cooking this dummy's food.") Anyway, I'm looking forward to going to Kaosarn and flashing my card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-5215813562688989672011-10-14T10:00:08.388+01:002011-10-14T10:00:08.388+01:00I liked Kaosarn enough but thought the dishes way ...I liked Kaosarn enough but thought the dishes way too dumbed down. The grilled chicken and som tam dish was nice but the som tam was barely lip-tingling; I have since been told that you can ask for it 'authentic', so I guess it warrants another visit.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-48107633311533945792011-10-14T07:54:02.934+01:002011-10-14T07:54:02.934+01:00Ah-ha!

Just the thought of breaking that yolk and letting it run through the rice gets me salivating. lol. <br /><br />For battered prawns, I would normally ask for them to be set aside lest they get damp. Most places that I've been to would oblige. <br /><br />This is a bit out of the way for me. But for its noodles, I just might make a trip down.
