So, I’m briefly back in Ealing today to tidy up some work and of course we all had to go out for lunch 🙂 I was happy that Jon suggested Silom Village Thai because I knew for sure that I wanted to go back and try their Fried Ice Cream!

Silom Village Thai has a large variety of dishes on offer and its almost difficult to narrow the choice down to one. Though it is predominantly a Thai restaurant there are also Malaysian, Chinese and other asian styles of dishes. In the past I’ve tried their Pad Thai and today I thought I’d sample Char Kway Teoh. Both dishes were delicous and very generous in their portions. Beware that when a dish has been marked with a chilli you are guaranteed its going to be hot! Prices at this restaurant are very reasonable so a meal here is good value for money.

Even though I was pretty full from my noodle dish I still had to try their Fried Ice Cream. I’ve had all sorts versions of this dessert (the best still being the very first I ever tasted) but I was happy to be introducing Jon and James to this potentially artery-clogging dessert. You can see how confused Jon was about this strange dessert. You must wonder how ice cream could possibly be fried? Well, in this case it involved the ice cream being wrapped in a very thin piece of bread, crumbed and then fried. Not a bad dish. Could have done with less whipped cream.

Finally, last words are that service at Silom Village has always been friendly though today we struggled a little bit with the language barrier. However, surprisingly, we all did get exactly what we ordered! The atmosphere is also quite buzzy though tables tend to be quite close together and cosy.

Definitely an option for good cheap Asian food in Ealing.
