Thai, great! Ask anything vegetarian as that's not on the menu, but available, and do pay cash. Make a reservation during the day for friday and saturday. Also take away. Ask me for my tiffins to bring the food home in.. They only take cash, cash machine outside. Do mention you come through me, while making the reservation or going there..
