It has been so long since I posted anything on here, so as you can imagine I have a HUGE backlog of places I need to write about as I am constantly eating out and have recently been to Florida, so you can only imagine the food I ate out there.
Having finally graduated from University, I landed myself a job in Leeds and have officially moved away from home; but this means a new city with a million new offerings of places to eat!
I already have a list a mile long of places to go to in Leeds but one of the first places I wanted to try was Zaap, a restaurant specialising in Thai street food. As you can't book, my boyfriend and I went for an early tea in order to avoid any queue as this place can get very popular.
Zaap is set out like a traditional Thai street market with little Tuk Tuks dotted around the place, some even converted into tables. Signs hang from the ceiling including hospital signs and their famous Chang beer, you can tell a lot of thought has been put into this place.
With such a large menu and all items labelled in Thai it requires some studying in order to fish out the best things on there. As usual we couldn't whittle it down to two starters, so we chose 'Kanom Jeeb' - (pork and prawn steamed dumplings), 'Gai Satay' - (chicken satay skewers) and 'Look Chin Tod' - (fried squid).
All three tasted amazing! My personal favourite was the steamed dumplings, some find the texture weird but I love them. Would highly recommend getting a third starter in order to get a taste of something else.
For mains we chose the Massaman Cury and Prawn Pad Thai to have half of each. The Massaman curry was so creamy and tasty and the Pad Thai was definitely the best I've ever had. With it being labelled as 'street food' we were expecting tapas style portions, so were pleasantly surprised by the servings and were stuffed by the end.
Three starters and two main courses came in at £30, great value for money. This is a must try if you're ever in Leeds!
