Admakers

oooh, better post something for June eh? I have been eating honest, but been travelling too much and over-scoffing on Chinese food. While I wish I could post up reviews of my yummy experiences in Honkers and Shanggers, well, let's concentrate on Bangers.

There is nothing better on a week night than to meet Fatt after work and toddle off to Admakers for a cold glass of Heinekin and some yummy Thai food.

Admakers will never get top marks for its cuisine, nor for being particularly cheap. But it's the consistently good fodder that I like about this place. Alan Hanson would approve.

First and foremost it's a bar with rustic wooden seating. A lot of foreigners patronise the place and around 8 o'clock, the live music starts: guitars and renditions of classics such as 'Scarborough Fair'. If you go to Admakers a lot this could end up being a little repetitive, although fair dues to the guys who do sing and play beautifully.

The menu is very extensive and takes ages to plough through. We'll usually have a green chicken curry with roti, a steamed sea bass in either lime or soya sauce, prawn toasts and maybe a spicy salad. All of which will be consistently tasty. Seafood is such a great bargain in Thailand. It would be also easy to over- or under-steam fish. But Admakers seem to get it right every time.

The only drawback about the place for me is the service. They can be quite sneaky about opening up extra bottles of beer that you haven't ordered. And there's one waiter who looks like he'd rather spit at you than take your order. Maybe he really does want to spit at me. Oh well.
