Tucked away behind London Fields is the best Thai I've had in London. It's called Som Saa, and it's the kind of place where you walk in and feel like you're turning up at a friends house...a really, really cool friends house.
It's in a huge concrete space, with walls decorated with fairy lights and chefs cooking on grills outside. In summer the courtyard is full of tables with hungry diner enjoying the sun (something I'm yet to experience in London).
We started with prosecco and one of my favourite Som Saa dishes of charred squid in a tangy, spicy sauce.
The slew of starters continued with beef mince and betel leaves and a green papaya salad. The food here is SPICY- especially the papaya salad, so make sure you have a glass of prosecco handy.
The starters were followed by eggplant salad and pork curry and cute little individual bamboo baskets for rice...much more than we needed but we did manage to polish it all off.
