Review NAM NAM..

On a random thursday night a Thora (an old friend of me) and I where in the mood for some Asian food.

Walking around Vesterbro looking for the right place, we ended up in "NAM NAM", a farely newly opened place that has busyness mann Claus Mayer in the background,

Being a huge fan of Singapore food (and missing it allot), I had been wanting to go here since I heard about it.

There`s a variation of snacks, roti`s, salads, smaller and larger dishes.
All with a "chili system" picturing 1-3 chili`s depending on the fire it`l make in your mouth.

Here is what we ate..



Snack selection:
Prawn crackers that was all right.
 Spiced cashews that where a bit bland but had a nice citrusy taste
 Chickpea fritters with with a lovely herby yoghurt
Chips made from a special leaf/seed from indonesia, wich we weren't to thrilled about, they had a kinda bitter aftertaste.

The waiter forgot our chili crabs, so in comes our hangroast neck of pork, with 5 spice marinade.
To nice chunks of meat, tender and greasy, served with "snot fingers"  aka okra and rice on the side.
Only thing here is were the lack of heat in the marinade.

Finally the Singapore chili craps, in a (from what the menu said) spicy tomato sauce, but it was allot more sweet the spicy.
But other then that a lovely dish, and the extra free bee roti because of the waiters screw up, was lovely to get all that good, crab meaty gravy up.



NAM NAM is different then other places here.
With a real tandori oven, and hanging meat, they try to make it authentic.
Basicly everything was good, the only thing was the lack of spiciness in the dishes,  and because they are pretty rich, it would defiantly do the dishes justice.
To be honest, it`s not like the Singapore taste i remember, and it probably never will be other than the place itself, but its the closest you get here in the North.
Other then the Chili crab mistake, the service a nice and friendly, and with a bill of only 460 with the dishes and an bottle of water, we left full and pretty happy.
