Again, the incontinent, butt sniffing Soi dog has nothing to say on the topic, but RainMan is twitching in his usual autistic manner to remind us all that he is here. He knows nothing of this subject, but he cannot leave it alone. He must make even North African food a subject that is solely about him reacting to it negatively. Even though he has never eaten it. There’s an Ethiopian restaurant near a bum run grad hospital that I’ve eaten in a dozen times. I agree with Northland Ryan, it is all basically similarly tasting glop, soaked up with a spongy brown wonder bread type bread. What makes a great Ethiopian restaurant is whether or not they make their own Berber spice. Back in the states, Washington DC is renowned for having a whole street of Ethiopian restaurants. They shine best in the seafood department getting a Mediterranean flavor with a lot of olives and preserved lemon like Moroccan food. If I live near Ethiopian food, I would have it about every other week. Since I lived at the Chidi mansion at the bottom of Soi 11, I had it a dozen times in a month. Not much variance between the dishes, so get the mixed plate. Mark Weins does have a hard to take presentation manner, but it is memorable, and he does give you the food facts and describe how things taste very vividly We went to Ginger house in Chiang Mai after watching one of his videos, and the mixed northern appetizer plate was like a college course on the subject. You cannot go wrong going to any place that he recommends. We also went to the Khao Soi place he recommends since we had a car, and it was definitely a cut above Mai Sai Khao Soy behind the Maya Mall.
