On any given day, I will have this.
I mean look at how cloudy that soup is. The broth is so flavourful, that not single drop is missed. The superior soup set, and almost everything comes in a pair, LITERALLY. Even the greens come in a pair. What you have in the bowl, a pair of mock abalone, a pair of meatball, a pair of fish maw, a pair of crunchy and decently sized prawns (peeled), a pair of Friend beancurd, slices of pork, and minced meat, and finally a MEASLY PIECE OF GROUPER.
Honestly, it's a fish soup bowl, I have everything but except fish slices. If I knew about this, I would add $3 for added batang slices.
Oh the set, comes with a drink.
Probably one of the most intense and thick, lemak thai green curry I ever had in singapore. Definitely not watery, totally fragrant and mildly spicy. My kind of food for a relatively cool evening. Did I mention that they are generous with the chicken pieces? The bowl is filled to the brim, with chicken pieces, which are not tough at all. Yumz!
Artfully plated, with a firm burrata half in TOP of a slice tomato. Overall, decent but definitely wished they weren't stingy with portion.
I like their generosity with the crab meat, but I am not crazy about their pasta, a little overcooked for me, and a tad soft. Flavour wise, light but flavourful enough, I prefer it stronger. So I am not exactly crazy over this plate. Could do a little more heat, and a little more garlic, but maybe that's my preference.
Who love clam like I do? Then you definitely love this plate of flower clams with garlic chilli. And you know how restaurants usually served their clams whole, making us dig through the plate, in search of the meaty gem? Here in Thonglor, it's halved to make it's easier for us to just fish out the meat, and each and every shell is guaranteed a clam meat! Clams and that garlic sauce (which isn't overpowering), and a plate of white rice, is simply bliss at its best! $11.90/plate don't hurt at all as well!
Officially my go-to-thai food place. Nakhon, honestly should be swept to one side. After the last visit, of boring and bland food, I know that it's time to wave goodbye to them and welcome Thonglor Thai Cuisine , with wide open arms. As mentioned before, their food pricing and fast service is already worth mentioning. On top of that, the dishes are impeccable, and plentiful. Take this salted egg squid, huge ring coated generously in batter and salted egg sauce, giving every bite such sheer delight. And for $13.90, what's there to nitpick about?
Not because it is one of the yummiest, but it's definitely one of the ridiculously cheapest. Situated in ITE Central (AMK), the casual, foodcourt style setting, serve a decently wide range of marinated meat, and whatnot. In fact, because of the huge turnover rate, their prawns and squid are quite fresh, crunchy and not at all mushy (as some would expect from frozen, thawed-for-days Seafood). $20/pax nett, what more can you ask for.
One of my favourite lasagna to date. Homemade green (possibly made from spinach) pasta sheets, layered with minced meat, tomato sauce, light cream and a small drizzle with pesto sauce, and finally a thin crisp cheese sheet on top it all! The end result, light, al dente, and absolutely heart warming Italian dish. With its impeccable setting, and ambience, you feel like you're in someone's home with a firewood oven, and open kitchen to watch your food come to live.
Dessert with the mostest. Honestly it looked like a tall fluffy chiffon cake, understated and carelessly plated, but when in fact, it's the yummiest and most dense orange ice cream ever. It's like having an whole orange, only creamier. Definitely a wow dish for me, to end a splendid dinner.
The shinning star of the night. Amazing smooth, and ridiculously creamy. The Unami flavour is strong, deep and impactful. Looked very heavy, when in fact it is very light. The chef's off-the-menu item, that should not remain off-menu! It is just to gorgeous, is sight, smell and taste.
Sorry, but I am seriously sitting on the fence on this one.
Sanyoret Paella ($28), a simple plating of crayfish and squid. Wah it looked and smell amazing, the taste left me hanging otherwise. A little too fishy for my taste, I felt that it's a little lacking. The rice, is done right though, nice and chewy, but somehow overall, it seemed to lack that savoury kick.
But some some brownie points on the ambience and setting in PIM PAM.
Morning breakfast, with my parents. Well clean out intestines, superbly braised pork belly, an with everything in between. The braised sauce is a lot lighter than most, which allow each individual item flavour to shine through. The Kway is only $0.30/bowl, soft and silky, definitely one of the cheaper ones. Worth the waiting queue.
