"Asian restaurants (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese) pre-prepare their meat for use in stir-frys and curries etc. This process involves soaking the meat in water after slicing the meat into bite size pieces. This process removes all traces of blood but also has the unfortunate side effect of removing all the taste too. Not all restaurants do this. But it is easy to recognise the ones that do. They are the ones that serve vile tasteless meat in their dishes that is similar to eating a piece of week old chewing gum instead of pork, beef, chicken. Sadly, Sabai Thai Gastrobar is one of these restaurants. I ordered a takeaway of Pad Gra Prow (Stir fried holy basil) and whilst it looked fine, and it was certainly spicy enough, the meat (pork) was tasteless and disgusting. As the meat for all dishes will almost certainly be prepared the same way (not including fish dishes) then it is safe to assume that the majority of their dishes will be tasteless and disgusting. Shame really as I had high hopes but I'm afraid I won't be returning. The dish cost me £14.95 which is the same price for takeaway or eat-in. Why is this the case in Brighton? Every other city in the UK has a dine-in price and a takeaway price which is generally 20% discount. Anyway, I won't be eating here again."
