Baan Thai

Not wanting to waste any time whatsoever, I ventured to the first restaurant at the bottom of London Road, Baan Thai. Inside was exotic and plush, the service was affable without bordering on the side of sycophant. Traditional Thai food that was absolutely divine. I had a red Thai curry with prawns, it had the perfect blend of hot, sour, salty and sweet flavours – scrumptious. My one disappointment was that I would be unable to venture back there until the clock was completed. I would truly advocate Baan Thai if you like authentic Thai cuisine. Yum yum yum. Clock number one down, numerous to go.

Rules

Apart from the strict rules of clocking which I must adhere to (the first rule of clocking is: don’t stop till you clock, the second rule is: a clock is a clock is a clock) I felt it essential to set down another guideline to ensure I duly completed the clock. London Road is home to a multitude of establishments where food is on offer yet I was limiting the clock to restaurants. The pleasure from the challenge derives from the substantial cultural mix of cuisine available and omitting takeaways allows me to skip over the flavour necropolis that is kebabs and overly fried burgers.

Introduction

Walking down London Road in Sheffield one is overwhelmed with the number and variety of eateries, being thus stricken I decided it was time I take action and challenge myself to a cruel trial of gastronomic endurance. The test; clock London Road. In other words visit and eat in every restuarant on said road, the odyssey will start at the bottom and work upwards and I'll chronicle my experiences in this blog becoming a counterfeit critic. The first rule of clocking is: don’t stop till you clock!
