The staff welcome us warmly.
My last visit there I got their so called "special" a soft shell crab stir fried curry dish. It was atrociously poor. The crab was clearly from the freezer a long time and it basically was a big soggy mess on the plate. I mentioned to the server that the food was awful and she gave me a look, yes it is, what did you expect at a tourist restaurant like this, you silly farang. Yes I am well aware of what soft shell crab is supposed to taste like.
