For some reason that is still not clear to me, this is not a restaurant, but a private dining club.  And before you eat, one person at the table has to join the club.  The cost?  One dollar for a lifetime membership.

The appetizers were, in my opinion, only average.  We had Chicken Satay (about $7.00) and Calamari (about $7.00).  I was not impressed by the calamari — served cold and without an interesting sauce.  But all the main courses were excellent.  We had a Shrimp Pad Thai, a Chicken dish served in a Thai curry sauce with mangoes, and a Shrimp and Garlic dish.  We really liked the big pieces of fresh sliced mango in the curry sauce.

The total bill for three was about $60 including the tip.

You can’t get alcoholic drinks here, but they let you bring your own in.  The nearest shop selling wine was too far so we go beer from the bar across the street, which sells carry-out beer at outrageous prices ($15.00 for a six-pack) of Hoegaarden.

The service was courteous and good.  Customers should remember that the food is freshly cooked, and you need to wait for it.  (Personally, I prefer to wait for a good meal than get something poor in a hurry!)

Recommended — but bring your own wine.
