Thai Edge - Brought to you by Claire Duffy -
Wednesday night heralded my very first outing with the House of Trouser lads. At 8pm all suitably scrubbed and polished – and with the promise of an exotic and medium-priced culinary sensation – we set out for the Thai Edge.
Located on the magnificent Millennium Square, the restaurant’s elegant interior was no less impressive. The spacious layout and tasteful oriental décor oozed sophistication and lent a warm, convivial ambience.
Service (provided by Real Authentic Thai people!!) was prompt and we were quickly set up with our choice of liquors. The menu was extensive and even the veggies among us (ok, just me) had to spend a few minutes mulling over the options. Lowering the level of sophistication just a tad but sparing ourselves the embarrassment of revealing our piss poor Thai pronunciation to the Real Authentic Thai waitress, we quoted the numbers of our desired dishes. I had a veg Thai green curry with coconut rice (yum) while Jamie indulged in a duck Thai red curry. Gazz enjoyed a feast of sweet and sour pork, Youd opted for sweet chilli chicken and Nathan chanced some kind of prawn concoction (a poor choice as you will soon discover).
With talk of stalkers, black rubber cocks and nasty wanking incidents, our dinner conversation was almost as colourful as our food. Only one thing detracted from our superb dining experience and this was the outrageous difficulty I had in ordering a second drink. But after ten minutes of manic gesticulating I was rewarded with a well-deserved gin and cranberry.
Nathan – who is wank – refused to join us for an after-dinner drink at Ha Ha! but had his comeuppance with the onset of a day long attack of the squits. Ha Ha! indeed!
Despite our perpetual efforts at lowering the tone, the Thai Edge is a classy place and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone seeking a bit of culture, or indeed anyone who appreciates good grub.
