Yina suggested Aloy Thai, which i have never tried nor heard of before. However, when i arrived at 730pm, it was way crowded, with at least 10 people in the queue! When we were to order our food, we were dismayed as many of the top sellers were sold out... Nonetheless, there were still other delicious items on the menu which did not disappoint!
Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($7.50)
Fried Butter Calamari ($8.50)
Basil Leaves (White) with Chicken ($6.90)
Fried French Beans with Minced Pork ($6.50)
[I'm really reluctant to post this photo. It was off-focus and that piece of
French Bean in the middle is SOOOO misplaced!! But i took only one picture...]
Food was really delicious! The Tom Yum Soup had generous servings of squid, prawns and mushrooms. It was really spicy in my opinion, and had the perfect "tangy" taste. It was good to pour some on the rice and eaten as well, where the rice was cooked nicely, soaking up the well-seasoned soup!
The Butter Fried Calamari was also a new dish to me. Usually, it would be Fried Calamari with Mayonaisse, or Fried Calamari with Salted Egg Yolk. In this case, the butter was not over-powering, and the Calamari was still crunchy despite the melted butter. The squid was also not over-cooked, which provided the perfect balance of chewiness.
The Basil Leaves (White) with Chicken was actually fried with white ground pepper. It was good, and not so spicy due to the coconut milk added. It was an average dish though.
Lastly, the Fried French Beans with Minced Pork was good as well. The beans were blanched well, and it was crunchy. However, the minced pork and sauce was a little salty though. Not to worry, pairing it with rice would solve the problem.
Bryan and i ordered the Thai Red Milk Tea ($2.20). It had more of the red tea taste, and is less sweet than most of the other stalls i had. However, i would prefer it even with lesser sugar. A good try though!
Overall, the total bill came up to $34.60, which was really reasonable in a shopping mall environment! I sense that this will be my new Thai Food Haunt compared to Nakhon's Thai Kitchen!
