Ingredient appreciation — what makes Green Curry special
What sets Green Curry apart is the handling of Thai basil. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the fragrant and herbaceous result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

The Green Curry I grew up eating — memory as a review
I grew up eating Green Curry and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the deeply aromatic was right, kaffir lime leaves was handled the way it should be.

Green Curry at this place was fine. The balanced between sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavour was there but not distinguished. palm sugar was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

First time trying Green Curry — completely converted
I had never tried Green Curry before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The balanced between sweet, sour, salty, and spicy taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. Thai basil is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

Finding the best Green Curry in the city — a personal search

Cooking class experience — learning Green Curry properly
I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Green Curry correctly. The instructor explained why fish sauce is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The fragrant and herbaceous result when you make it yourself is different.
