This was the phad pad noodles I had at Thai Me Up at the Spring, which I thought was a great name. Surely the food would be at least good enough to match the name? I can be so naïve sometimes. Thai Me Up does noodly stuff. You get to choose in 3 simple steps. First, decide on your noodle – kueh teow, spaghetti, bee hoon, what not. And if you choose the tom yum goong, you can pick rice. Then you decide on the meat – beef, chicken, seafood or vegerian, etc.. Finally, you get to pick the flavour – tom yum, phad pad, green curry and a few other Thai-sounding names. And off you go.
Only thing was, everything tasted sweet or sweetish. And the tom yum soup with rice was a lot of sour and lemon grass very little tom yum. If you like sugar in your fried noodles, by all means, this is the place to go. But I’m an all savoury and soury and salty type of person. So…. No. Not for me. Sorry, Thai Me Up. You lost me at hello.
Still, I'll give them lots of points for the clever name.
