House is a restaurant from the Spice I am team with a north-east thai street food twist. We all commonly know thai food as containing a lot of coconut milk, but the dishes at House focus on a Isaan style menu with a lot of spicy salads and grilled meats. They also tend to be drier (not like the saucy curries we've been accustomed to)
I think I'm a creature of habit when it comes to thai food, so I have to admit that I had a bit of trouble deciding on what dishes to order, as they didn't have any of the typical dishes that I usually choose. I definitely looked forward to trying the BTS dessert though!
Very quick and efficient, the dishes came out in no time.
Larb Nua - Traditional Isaan salad of minced beef with eschalots, shallots, vietnamese coriander, mint, ground roasted rice, ground chilli and lime
Nua Yang Jim Jaew - Char grilled marinated beef served with Jim-Jaew dipping sauce
This was my favourite dish out of the three, with the tender beef having an intensely smoky flavour.
Aorm Gai - chicken curry with dill, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, galangal, garlic, eschalots, shallots, Thai eggplant, pumpkin, Thai lemon basil and choy sum.
BTS (Better Than Sex) - Toasted brioche served with pandan coconut gelato, topped with Thai caramel sauce and roasted black & white sesame seeds
A pretty decadent dessert and best shared!

I've always gone past this place and never eaten inside - looks like their food is yummy, especially that beef salad!
Love the better than sex dessert! So extremely rich and decadent... Almost too sweet, almost :P
That food looks so freaking good!!
Interesting looking dessert! The rest of the savoury dishes look tasty too :)
Yeah! I wouldn't know what to choose either but it looks like you chose some pretty yummy dishes :) I hate that theyre cash only cause I only ever have card on me when I walk past :/
I had real trouble deciding what to order here too - especially as I wasn't eating meat at the time and nearly everything had meat in it. I was expecting lots of tofu dishes like a 'regular' Thai joint...silly me. I liked the ice-dessert, a bit like Cendol, but different.
Better than sex - good name! Seems to be fairly yummy too and a Thai dessert I've never had before!
That caramel sauce must be godly...
this place looks lovely! the dessert looks and sounds amazing!
the food looks delicious! xx

retrodaze - It's a little bit different from the usual thai fare, but I like the courtyard spot for a nice lunch :)
Sherrie - hehe, best shared!
That Brunette One - It is delish :)
excusemewaiter - the savoury dishes were quite interesting too, compared to the regular thai dishes
Viv - it's annoying when some places don't take cards! Esp for lunch since my atm is a 10 min walk away
Miss Piggy - Shame that they didn't have many vego options, esp since thai is usually a fail safe option to take my vego friends.
Alina - It was!
