When I used to run Mopho, we got named "best pad thai in Melbourne" by John Lethlean - former cheif editor of the good food guide. When we left we taught the new guys how to make it, and i dropped in recently and it still looked the same, but i didn't taste it
overcooked yes, but as it's Birds I am proud!
you've come a long way baby!
next time leave the meat out of the fridge for an hour so the whole thing is room temp first and then you can acheive the doneness you want in the centre with less massacareing of the outsides.
also rest it longer
