The Blue Elephant is a new Thai restaurant that opened its doors (1)   the
town centre just over a month ago. I went along with a friend to see if they offer a
geniune Thai experience (2)   lunch.

The place definitely looks the part as I felt as though I had just walked (3)   a
restaurant in Bangkok. Even the waitress looked authentic, as she was wearing a
traditional Thai silk outfit.

The menu was fairly limited, so we opted for the lunchtime special (4)   a
starter, main course and a dessert. First, we decided to share some spring rolls which
prove to (5)   a good choice. For the main course, we had a Thai green curry
and a large bowl of Jasmine rice. The curry was a little too spicy for me, (6) 
my friend thought it was spot on. After (7)  , we ordered a bowl of tasty mango
with sticky rice that finished (8)   a memorable lunch.

Considering (9)   restaurant has only been open for a short time, it was great
(10)   see that it has got off to a great start even though it wasn't busy.
However, I am sure (11)   word gets around about the quality of food, it won't
be long (12)   they will be taking bookings only.
