#Takeaway Farang: Grilled Pork is not getting tastier than this (5 out of 34)

This is the second restaurant review based on Takeway package, because of Coronavirus is forcing us not to dine in. 

I think, not having had fine dining as takeway before was giving me false sense of positivity during my last review (Restaurant Nude). This time, I found myself struggling with the concept of great food served slightly out of serving temperature, without the ceremonies of tasting if the wines is ok and without the ambience of a restaurant as it was designed. Also, the portions, why do they have to be sooooo huge in Takeaways? Having learnt my lesson from the first Takeaway, I did go easy and just ordered one starter and one main. 

The food was great, like you'd expect from Farang. Reason why I did takeway here was that I've had this food before, and I did love it back then. I still did. It is the best pork you'll ever have. This recipe is available in a Farang -recipe book too, so for those interested in exploring it, it is worth the trouble (takes about 20 hours to make, I recall?). The food can be obtained from the menu under FARANG PORK BELLY & PALM SUGAR CARAMEL - and that is the signature dish in this place.

For starters I did a Som Tam, like one does in a Thai place.

I hate to say it, but maybe because I've had this meal in a better version outside my home, I didn't feel this to be one of the best experiences I've had. I'm rating it 6.5/10. Sorry.
