Lunch at Junjira Thai Restaurant

Today we decided it was about time we had lunch at the tiny Thai restaurant in our local market hall

Aberdare market hall exterior

The food is prepared in the small kitchen right in front of the four customer tables

Dishes from front to back - Prawn Pad Thai, Tofu Pad Siew and Tofu Pad Mama, accompanied by Thai prawn crackers and spring rolls

Thai noodle dishes on restaurant table

Everything was really delicious - but a special mention goes to the Pad Thai, which was fantastic πŸπŸ˜‹

I’m certain we will be eating there again.

Greek Village Salad – Horiatiki Salata

Looks like today is going to be the last hot day of our current spell of good weather. Cooler with rain tomorrow and Tuesday. So taking the chance to continue a week of al fresco dining in the garden 😊
