Nahm at The Halkin (The Halkin, 5 Halkin Street, London, SW1X 7DJ) We went to Nahm and opted for the tasting menu – this was the second time that I had eaten in a Michelin star restaurant and I was looking forward to the idea of Michelin starred Thai food. I will point out that yes- i have been to thailand and I would like to think that I have a good palate but I found the food disappointing – the flavour combination seemed random – I tasted the individual components of the dish they were lovely but together rather confusing. The curry was very hot which is as expected as thai curries are firery – but were lovely though nothing special – I expect to be blown away and i wasn't and I paid £90 for the priviledge. The staff were reasonably attentive and we appreciated the sommelier's recommendation as it complimented the food well. But I won't be back …
