Ting Thai Teviot Place

1. Typical very Westernized “Thai” food for people who have never had actual Thai in their lives. Mostly just noodles in heaps of salty soy sauce with that cheap bright red sweet chilli sauce slathered over everything.

   Noodles were pretty terrible, and resembled a cheap British-Chinese takeaway rather than any Thai food I’ve ever had, although they are presented nicely.

   The pork belly was ridiculously served. Huge hunks of very hard, fried-to-death pork with no knife to cut it! Like… um. It was allegedly a soup or curry, so you’re not supposed to use your hands, but they give you a spoon and fork for large pieces of tough pork? Odd.

   The eggs were good enough. I mean, they weren’t like any son-in-law eggs I’ve seen, and again, it was that supermarket sweet chilli jam and nothing else. But they were nicely cooked.

   The server was great. Super friendly and helpful. Too bad the food isn’t much and the ambience is like a canteen. It’s probably good for British uni students though, which I assume is who they cater to.

2. Thai spot with good & quick service. Tasty dishes, for reasonable prices. Unusual interior, it makes the place look a bit sad, brighter colours would definitely change the vibe.

3. Amazing flavours and an even better price here! If you want Thai food, come here!

   The place gets very busy so expect a wait. Delicious food is served very quickly with nice, attentive service. Meals here are cheap but extremely high quality.

   Highly recommended

4. I don’t think this is truly a Thai chain. We ordered the Ped Nam Peung and Seabass Maeklong. The Seabass was quite decent and the abundance of herbs and ingredients gave the required fragrance. However, it is quite a westernised version (there’s lettuce beneath the fish, and the sauce isn’t what you expect from a Thai food).

   The duck was frankly quite bad. It was dry, and while the seasoning had flavour, it did not seep into the duck sufficiently. It is also unfortunate that 1 or 2 pieces were overcooked too.

   One of the more bizarre aspect is that you are given your own jug and have to fill up from the tap yourselves. Furthermore, our table wasn’t wiped before we were seated, so there were roti flakes on the table.

   Honestly, if you order the other dishes, it probably should be good. The neighbouring table ordered fried chicken with jasmine rice which actually looks delicious.

5. A place for those who love sour taste!🙌🏼

   The portion of pad Thai was quite big, if you are a small eater definitely share with someone! The beef inside was quite tough and rubbery, but seasoned properly. Egg was a bonus for the dish since the complex smoky flavor coming from the frying heat was very appetizing 👍

   Tom kha gai was very sour for ppl who don’t eat sour stuffs in daily life, but just great for me as a big “sourness in savory food” fan. 🍋 the chicken breast slices were again very dry and tough, and there were not a lot of veg. The flavorful soup base was the point between all components.

   Fried tofu was drizzled with very sweet chili sauce (which is not spicy at all) me personally don’t like sweet chili sauce so I would only give this dish a 2 out of 5. Peanut chunks were sprinkled over the tofu for extra crunchiness which was good.

   Overall the service was nice and the atmosphere was great. I would order Pad Thai again but not other dishes I’ve got today.
