Silks & Spice (Camden)

I went here last night with my girlfriend and have to admit we were not impressed. To start with we had to return the prawn crackers as they tatsed like they had been left out for a while. Not a good start.

We ordered the mixed starter for 2 which was actually not bad. I had noticed that there was a distinct lack of chilli but for starter of spring rolls, prawn on toast etc you could expect much.

For mains I ordered a prawn pad thai along with sweet and sour tofu. My girlfriend had lamb massaman curry with steamed rice.

Both mains had a over powering taste of sweetness. Im not talking about the thai sweetness that is ofset with chilli but it was literally like having dessert. Disgusting. Both mains tasted fairly fresh and looked good but very very sweet.

In future I will stick to my local, family run restaurant which I am increasingly using as a benchmark.
