Kitsch Inn

As you may have realised by now, Mr.F and I are completely addicted to eating foo we haven’t made ourselves.
We love going to restaurants or phoning something in. It never takes much to persuade us that eating home cooked food would be wiser. (I reckon about 80% of our free money goes on eating out!)


So one night, after a rather gruelling day at work, we decided to have a wee treat. We both work in the City Centre, meaning there are endless options for us to choose from.

This night we decided to go the Kitsch Inn, at the Tikki Bar on Bath Street.

The food was breathtakingly good!

We had a mixed Thai sharer platter for a starter, which consisted of Chicken Satay, King Prawn tempura, spring rolls and prawn crackers. Served with Dips.

Not a scrap was left!

In particular I loved the prawn tempura. It was crisp and the prawn were cooked perfectly! Tempura had a tendency to turn up to your table soggy and overcooked. This was by far the best tempura I have ever eaten.


We then moved onto the main event.
I had ordered a Massaman Beef Curry, Mr F ordered the Thai Yellow Curry with Coley.

My beef was sublime. I fell apart as you ate, not a scrap of fat and delicately flavoured.



Mr.F’s curry was also very tasty I hear. Not being much of a fish fan, I didn’t try it, but the smell alone made my mouth water and tastebuds tingle!


The best 50p I have ever spent! It was by far the best fried rice I’ve eaten. Ever!

I normally don’t like to be so gushy about places, but the Kitsch Inn just can’t be faulted. The staff are fantastic and friendly, food you want to shout about from the rooftops… and of course there is plenty of rum cocktails on offer. What’s not to love about the place?


And I just have to note, that our whole meal came under the early evening offer, and we only paid about £13 each for two courses. Great value when you consider that Mr.F’s curry is normally £10.20 on its own!


This says it all…






Very very full tummies that night!

Rumours Kopitiam

Our night started with the best of intentions, as good nights always do.

The plan was simple, we’d have some nice dinner, and then have a beer or two.

A few Tequila and Verdita shots later and it was hangover from hell the next day!!

So Mr.F and I met up with my sister and her partner for some nice dinner and a catch up.

We headed to Rumours Kopitiam, on Bath Street.


If you read the reviews on the List, you would think this place has gone downhill, with the rudest waitress in Glasgow at the Helm.

We had a great meal here!

Mr F began with a chicken noodle soup. Very simple but a dish that is fantastic when done well.
Mrs.Sister had some spring rolls to start, again a fantastically simple dish.
Me and Sister shared a plate of Salt and Chilli squid. Sister took a bit of convincing as she isn’t a huge squid fan, however I think this one dish has converted her! The squid was cooked perfectly in its delicious crispy, spicy coating.


For our mains, I ordered the Malaysian Sliced Chicken curry. It was a big portion but super tasty. I asked for them to omit the aubergines as I can’t stand the slimy beasts, however I was not left feeling hungry in their absence.






Sister went for a Kung Po chicken dish.
I didn’t taste this, however I believe this is due to her walloping it down so fast. She clearly enjoyed every mouthful.





Mrs.Sister went for a crispy beef dish. It’s her usual choice, and apparently she had been dreaming about it the night before. Hmmm…

She is a spice addict, and asked for the Beef to be spiced up. She said it was beautiful when it came, however not very spicy. I believe this is due to her deadening her tastebuds with her chilli obsession. I thought it had quite a kick to it!





Mr.F ordered Salt and Chill Soft Shelled crab. These are one of his favourite treats. Very few places seem to serve soft shelled crab that you A) would want to eat B) wouldn’t feel robbed paying for.

This was a good sized portion, and from his silence of 3 minutes, I knew he enjoyed it.



All of this as washed down with some Tsing Tao beers and egg fried rice.

It was a great meal, and we barely spoke to each other during it as the food demanded our full attention!!


With regards to the waitress, she isn’t rude as such, just not very accommodating. Not enough to put you off visiting again for some of that cracking food!

Scored high in the fantastic food rating!!!


The rest of the night (and the tequila) happened in Max’s Bar and Grill.


Lets just say ‘What Happens in Max’s, stays in Max’s’!
