NOTICED CLOSED Feb 2012


Unmissable Soft Shell Crab

Last time I visited Snakebean I missed the 'unmissable lamb massaman' so I had to of course try it this time round. Lamb was tender with nice flavoured curry although I think it could have been notched up a couple of levels on the curry heat factor for me, unless it's not supposed to be too hot? The soft shell crab was a standout tonight with its decent meaty sized pieces of crispy crunchy outer batter goodness — although I prefer the tastier green papaya salad at Spice I Am from what I can remember. It's quite a small restaurant so unfortunately the tables are quite tiny leaving little room for the dishes when they come out. You need to order and pay for your dishes at the counter first.
