Mongkon Restaurant at Wendover Arms in Wycombe

In the most unlikely camouflage of a large pub in High Wycombe, A Taste of Thai is a hidden gem. The menu is limited to standard dishes that you would find in any Thai restaurant in the UK, but there the similarity ends. This is highly accomplished Thai cooking. Our fish cakes and vegetable Spring rolls were full of fresh, spicy but subtle flavours - the homemade sweet chilli sauce alone was worth the trip. Tom Yam gai was delicious, and my Massaman curry was apparently cooked to an authentic (and very rich) 16th century recipe researched by the charming and knowledgeable young chef . We went for lunch - not sure what the venue is like in the evening, but we shall certainly return for the food. They also do takeaway. A culinary treat and excellent value for money.

First of all , this restaurant is no longer called Mongkon , the original chef has moved on and a new kitchen and chef has taken over the place. The new restaurant is called "A Taste of Thai".
