Recently Lanky Girl and Co was invited to try out Soho’s recent addition to the Thai dining scene @Siam. This contemporary mid-market eatery aims to provide authentic Thai food that doesn’t break the bank. Now I have to say that @Siam has its charm, it isn’t very big but the warm reception by the staff generally made me feel relaxed and at home. Talking to the owner Tip it was clear that customer service was very important. Also (Sshh.. but if you want to have a more intimate dinner Tip can organise for you to have one of the rooms to yourself). So what about the food?

First I would like to apologise for the lack of posts on this blog. I almost decided to scrap the whole thing before Christmas but I thought a new year would be a great time to relaunch the lankybutnotmanky blog. I’ve also chosen to start a new blog thelondonperspective.wordpress.com which is my take (what am I saying its MY LIFE) as a twenty-something living in the big smog.
This Blog will be updated once a week. So add it your RSS Feed to keep yourself posted. Also this year I want to actually hear from some of my visitors so folks comments good and bad are WELCOME.
