因為朋友想吃泰式料理，我們終於有機會嘗試去年被票選為赫爾辛基最佳泰式餐廳的 Pumpui。 Pumpui 在泰式料理的基礎上，加了法式、義式和芬蘭料理的元素，除了單點之外，也有三道式套餐的選擇。

陽光普照卻強陣陣的典型赫爾辛基夏日傍晚，我走進餐廳坐下，在先我一步落座的朋友對面坐下，翻開菜單一眼就看到菜單上最想吃的脆皮豬頸肉，無須思考就決定了想要點的餐點。朋友這時提醒了菜單上夾著的另一張紙，上面寫著一次可以嚐遍三樣開胃菜，三樣主菜和一樣甜點的 taste menu，而這些就包含了菜單上過半的選項。一番討論後我們決定都點 taste menu，以合菜的方式上菜。

Thanks to my friend's craving for Thai cuisine, we finally got a chance to try Pumpui out. Pumpui was voted to be the best Thai restaurant in Helsinki last year, serving authentic Thai food with twists of French, Italian, and Finnish elements. Apart from the à la carte menu, they also have taste menus for exploring.

It was a typical Helsinki summer evening, sunny and windy, I walked into this colourful restaurant and sat down across the table from my friends. Crispy pork neck popped into my eyes at my first glance of the menu and I decided that was the dish I wanted without the need of extra thinking. My friends reminded me to look at the taste menu printed on the piece of paper attached on the menu. The menu included 3 starters, 3 main dishes, and a dessert, covering almost half of the entire menu! After a brief discussion, we all decided to have the taste menu, and the dishes would be served in bigger plates to share!
