I’ve tried many Indian restaurants since moving to Hua Hin two and a half years ago, but I had not yet tried S u0026 S until this past weekend.
I had just returned from Ko Lipe, where I had eaten, arguably, the best Indian meal I had ever had in Thailand. It had been my first time trying chicken rogan josh and I became an instant fan. It was so delicious.
I decided to try that when I went to S u0026 S. I also ordered garlic cheese naan and an appetizer I had never tried before called chicken pakora.
The pakora reminded me of a chicken nugget. I bit into it and saw that it appeared to be finely ground chicken, mixed with spices, and then deep-fried. It arrived at my table with some red, pickled onions, mango chutney, and a vinegary mint sauce. I really liked this dish. Very favorable. So was the garlic cheese naan.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the rogan josh. Like in Ko Lipe, I asked for it to be spicy. It came to my table and did not resemble the beautifully presented dish I had fallen in love with on Ko Lipe. It was darker and the taste was a tad bittter. The flavors did not pop out to me. It was just overpoweringly spicy. I took most of it home for leftovers. I will come back to try other dishes, but I think I will leave the rogan josh alone at this place in the future. I need to branch out and try new dishes anyways.
