Were invited by friends to try a meal at Crispy Duck on Whitchurch Road last night. No photos of food as that would have been rude in company but just wanted to write a little entry to say what a lovely meal and a lovely night we had of it.
The menu is a mix of Chinese, Japanese and Thai classics.
We had Satay and Momo Chicken starters – both were mini-skewers of griddled perfection. We followed those with Thai Green Curry and Chicken Rendang mains. The Thai curry was just the right mix of creamy and spicy with lovely big chunks of aubergine. The rendang was dark, rich and spicy. Both were obviously made with freshly prepared paste and served with pride.
The service was excellent and when the meal was over we sat talking for well over an hour, absorbed in our conversation, and not once were we made to feel uncomfortable.
The staff were excellent, hitting just the right balance of attention.
At a touch over £20 a head including service and drinks it was also very good value.
A fab evening – Crispy Duck: highly recommended
