Reviews
I am an English man on holiday and so just a mere disciple to the revelation that is the spice bag. This is a wonderful invention. This is the best I've had so far. Kudos to the chef. 👌
We had a really great experience at San Sab Restaurant. The food was excellent and there was a really nice range of options from the starters right through to the mains, so there was something for everyone. Everything we had was full of flavour and well presented. The portions were generous and it felt like very good value for money as well. Friendly atmosphere and service too — would definitely recommend and will definitely be back again.
Not sure how this place has such good reviews?! Spice bag had so little spice I had to reach for some salt just to get some flavor. I've added pics to see - like, is the spice in the house with us?! Sure isn't in this bag, as shown in the pic with the bottom of the bag; the little bits/chunks there are the pink Himalayan salt I ground up and added in, there was no spice showing. Also not present was any crispiness, like there was not a single crispy fry to be found. Similarly, the fried rice is severely lacking in any semblance of being fried, as seen in the pics. The chicken in it looks boiled and the rice is white white, not a touch of fire or soy sauce to be seen. Nor any other flavoring frankly, it is so bland. The only veggies are broccoli and carrots which, again, look to be boiled or steamed. Even these eggs in it seem oddly unfried, though how that's possible I don't know. I have literally had free hospital food that's less healthily bland. Also, from almost two decades living in Thailand I can safely say broccoli and carrots are very much not traditional in fried rice (where are my tomatoes at, nevermind my green leaves?) but why quibble at authenticity when we can't even reach the low bar of some sort of flavoring. Like, consider an onion even maybe, or pepper? I'm doing 2 stars instead of 1 because the spice bag wasn't stingy with the chicken, I'll give them that.
