@Aesthete, maybe you should try to stop using the word hate. It’s a strong word, and when you use it, it sounds like you are exaggerating or jumping to conclusions, or like an attack. And you use it often.
Practice more nuance, okay? Not everything is black and white.
And I’m saying this in the nicest, most sincere way possible. Here is an emoji for you.
The other things that come off real strong in delivery are the nam khao tod, the startled pig, and their noodles with octopus and chicken/pad see ew. Both of those noodles are way better than their pad thai. The nam khao tod comes with separated sections for the crispy rice salad and the saucy/porky part, so you mix upon arrival–works great.
Didn’t get photos of the desserts. Mango with sticky rice sprinkled with crunchy rice was great. Hot roti with ice cream was good but by that point I was too stuffed.
Overall what were your thoughts? I know from your past visits you head over to Thai town a lot. I still feel like there’s something about Night Market that is a level above (but different from) a lot of the thai town places. Maybe it’s not worth the price premium to some, but I still love it.
