Dining out: Sabai Sabai, St Annes Road, Blackpool
You stumble across Sabai Sabai among a row of non-descript shops opposite South Shore fire station in a part of Blackpool that is hardly on any culinary map.
A string of fairy lights adorns the windows and when you step inside, the interior is neat and clean, but fairly basic apart from some Thai-inspired artwork on the walls.

The premises has re-opened after being closed for around three years, with the same chef in charge of the kitchen.
We visited several times during its previous incarnation, and other former patrons may also recall the restaurant’s small water feature complete with bridge. That has gone now, and as mentioned, the decor now is much more modest.
But we were here for the food having been inspired by the online recommendations, and it has to be said, were not disappointed.
