Adam Cliff, who is the executive chef at Kha, has worked in some of the world’s most famed Thai restaurants, including Nahm London, the first Thai restaurant awarded with a Michelin star. Like many non-natives, my Thai cuisine knowledge so far mainly consists of Pad Thai and Green curry… sounds familiar?
But what’s so great about Kha is that it has a fine-dining aura about it which makes you want to step out of your comfort zone and try some new dishes. And we did.
Date night calls for cocktails so we kicked off with a good browse through the restaurant’s extensive cocktail list. Mama’s eyes settled on the Lemongrass Cosmopolitan while hubby headed down the path of a Kha Martini. Both were absolutely delicious. The Cosmopolitan was the winner with a lovely mix of fragrant lemongrass, vodka, Southern Comfort and pineapple juice. Because we’re worth it and all that mamas!
A friend had recommended us to try the grilled whole sea bass, stuffed with lemon grass and thai basil, which was absolutely lovely. We decided to have this with a side of morning glory. Woohoo, we were on a food roll!
Reluctantly we realised that we were starting to feel rather full- as in stuffed- which meant we wouldn’t have room for much more. But shame on those who give up that easily; we decided to strike back with a Pad Thai.
Overall verdict? Ooo la la Kha!
