Taking Liberty's around Carnaby Street - Mangosteen

Another night out, another department store. But Libertys membership shopping nights are kind of special. They come complete with pretty young things clutching credit cards and designer accessories while quaffing top notch chablis. All against the backdrop of catwalk model staff dressed head-to-toe in Libertys' amazing designer collections supported by a brass band, and as ever several quirky touches. Including the stuffed zebra in the photo. Only in London huh.
The Northerner and I followed drinks and shopping with dinner at our favourite West End Thai restaurant, Mangosteen on Ganton Street. As with most South East Asian restaurants, the menu is extensive yet still familiar to any Thai food afficionados. However the quality is superb, portions are hefty and the fact that the place is often half full with Thai tourists speaks volumes for the quality. The rest of the crowd tend to be pre-club pretty young things getting their food kick in before a night of busting moves. Or posturing more likely.
I love it. I go frequently. I will go again soon.
