Somboon Seafood

The best crab curry in town must be at Somboon's. I reckon it beats Seafood Market and probably every other crab curry I've ever had. It's eggy, the crab is full of meat, the sauce is just crying out to be dolloped onto rice and scoffed and scoffed again.

Sometimes, if you don't go at peak times, you order crab curry and it's before your eyes in two seconds - they know that a table will want the curry soon so must have them stacked up ready for serving faster than McDonalds!

And the rest of the food is delicious too. Sea bass is succulent. Deep fried fish in NE Thai style gave us a fleshy meaty fish in a sour spicy light sauce. The fish eaten with the supplied raw cabbage leaf is extremely tasty. Spare ribs with gaai lan (chinese brocolli) was great (though a little tough). The veg is all very nice too, though to tell the truth, they get rather neglected as soon as the seafood arrives.

Somboons is a large restaurant with floor after floor of seating. The service can be ...nonchalent, but who cares! The surroundings are not lush either, but again, who cares! The prices are very reasonable and it's the food that counts!
