Friend had cashew nut tofu and that also did not have any flavour. Wouldn't recommend in the city full of good Thai.

If you read the posters 2 other reviews, miraculously they discovered steel wool and a freezer bag in their meals at other establishments. You will not find cockroaches in your food at Pronprohm. I have been here several times without any unwanted surprises and it is annoying such reviews can affect a restaurants reputation. Now onto Pronprohm itself. Pronprohm will not win any awards for contemporary decor but it would take the gold medal if you want a flash back to the early 80's. Head upstairs from the outside blackboard and encounter a restaurant that clearly hasn't changed it's look since the day it opened. Before you head up though, be sure to check out the blackboard outside because some of the best dishes aren't on the regular menu. Try the Betel leaves for an entree and also ask the the waitress if they are able to make the green papaya salad for main. The Betel leaves are a great appetiser and palate cleanser before the curries and spices. If you go for the papaya salad, be sure to ask for mild if you don't like too much heat. The chilli on this dish can be a bit spicy. Order a drink and it is usually accompanied by a small dish of salted peanuts. Orders are taken promptly and the staff are helpful and friendly. Beer and wine available at reasonable prices. The house wine is drinkable but may be better to BYO wine. Food is served quickly and portions are always generous. If you are deciding between the Grilled Beef or Lamb under the Chef's Special option, I would recommend the lamb. It is always more tender and less fatty. The dish is cooked as requested. Medium rare is medium rare. The Roasted Duck Red Curry and Tasmanian Ocean Trout are well worth a try. Ask for spice heat preference, mild to hot. The same applies to most dishes here. If you're ravenous coming here, try the Mee Grob for entree. it is a substantial entree and very tasty! Pronprohm also do the usual Thai fare of green and red curries, Pad Thais and salads with flavours of fresh mint, chilli and lemongrass. The site is showing payment as cash only but eftpos is now available for a 50c fee. Also, if they're not offered on payment, ask for the orange chocolates as you leave. A nice way to end what should be an insect free, pleasant meal.
