We dropped in recently for dinner with friends...we´d heard it was still the best in the city. hhhmmm. Dread to think what the worst are like...most dishes were pretty tasty but frankly bore little resemblance to authentic Thai cuisine. The most basic of Thai seasonings were either used in minute quantities or not at all....our laab gai, well it wasn´t! it was a strange chicken salad...where were the thai herbs, fish sauce, chilis etc? the satay was in great chunks as were most other ingredients. Tl be fair the duck was crispy even if the sauce was bland. The beautiful presentation (fruit and veg carving, lovely little dishes, individual burners) we´d enjoyed in the past...also gone. Can only assume that they feel they´re catering to European tastes...sad, sad, sad. It´s easy enough to buy ALL the ingredients for preparing authentic Thai dishes in Cologne heaven only knows why they aren´t being used. Looks like it´s back to my own kitchen for our Thai food. Sigh.
