A.S.K is a new venture in Kardamena for 2016. Having sampled Asian food in Thailand in recent years a taste of this aromatic cuisine comes to you here on the Greek island of Kos.

For every restaurant in Thailand there are hundreds of food vendors selling a variety of "street food". The most basic of these food outlets are simple "Food Carts" fitted out with just enough equipment to produce one staple dish, the ultimate take-away. These carts are often mobile even hand-pushed or attached to a motor-bike as a side car.

"Food Stalls" comprising a number a number of 'food carts' often have a semi-permanent street location and are delivered daily even nightly to their trading spots. A small menu is often offered together with street side tables and chairs, changing the road-side character, get a group of stalls together and they can block a side street to traffic.

The nearest thing to a basic Greek taverna is a "Food Kitchen", which whilst being permanently located will still usually have a street or open kitchen. Meal-time drinks are more prevalent, seating will be inside/outside or both, a larger menu is provided and for the first time there should be toilet facilities.

A.S.K. falls into this latter group, the menu will contain the Thai staple meals, Thai snacks and a small limited evening menu changing daily, on a weekly basis.

A.S.K. is not a Thai restaurant, so please do not arrive expecting a full menu.

A.S.K. is located at the back of the village parallel to but away from the harbour front, bar street and the main road. From the harbour head away from the sea through the main square past bar street, at the main road cross-over beside the taxi rank and head up the road to the side of Louis supermarket. At the cross-roads, to the front of Hotel Elga turn left and A.S.K. is 30m on the left, immediately before Status nightclub, continue straight across the next cross-roads and Seva Hotel will be on your left. Turning right at and pass Hotel Elga will bring you to Kool Pool.

Wherever possible ingredients will be locally sourced with some herbs and spices grown fresh on the premises, shown here chilli and basil going strongly.

The key to Thai food is getting a balance to the sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours that are the essence of the regions food. There is no single correct balance so long as the balance gives a tasty, flavoursome dish.

Sweetness: coconut milk, honey, sugar
Sourness : vinegar, lime/lemon juice/zest
Saltiness : fish/soy sauce
Spiciness : garlic, ginger, mint, coriander, basil and chilli are the most common
herbs/spices. Thai basil has a distinct sweet anise/peppery flavour,
if not available Mediterranean basil with some pepper makes a
suitable alternative.. The fiery hot "Thai Bird" chilli is shown growing
here from seed from Thailand and first grown last summer. Food at
A.S.K. is cooked mildly, chilli condiments can be added to taste.
