Chok Dee Authentic Thai Cuisine

Besides their regular menu, Chok Dee also has seasonal "off the menu" specials.

Calamari rings coated in a luscious yellow salted egg sauce, capsicum and onions are placed on top of an egg omelette which covers a sizzling hot plate.

It goes without saying that the calamari rings were juicy and qq. We really enjoyed the salted egg sauce - it was neither too sweet or salted and you can taste bits of the grainy salted egg yolk in them. It's a little pricey compared to their regularly items though!

Chok Dee also does a delightfully good beef kway teow. The kway teow are infused with a good hint of wok hei and we also liked that the beef and vegetables are cooked to perfection. The beef is tender and juicy and the kailan still retains a nice crunch!

It's a good alternative to our usual pad thai!

We will however recommend Chok Dee's Massaman Curry Pork.

Massaman curry is a Thai curry which has Indian, Malay and Arabic influences in terms of the ingredients use. It is rich and flavourful with the medley of spices used and the coconut milk. It also usually comes with potatoes, onions and peanuts.

Chok Dee version has a nice nutty taste to their Massaman curry which is reminiscent of the satay peanut gravy. We also like that they use a thicker cut of pork which remained tender. The curry gravy is also perfect on its own and as a sauce over rice!

Whilst we enjoyed most of Chok Dee's vast repetoire of dishes, the sweet and sour fish is probably the dish that we would not return for.

Whilst the sweet and sour sauce was nicely balanced without being too sweet or tangy and came with bits of nicely caramelised onions, the deep fried fish fillet was soggy and greasy and texture wise, was rather soft. Not a big fan tbh.

We have been back to Chok Dee on a nearly weekly basis to check out their rather extensive menu.

The stir fried baby squid with basil leave was a dish that we were tempted into ordering after seeing it on another table. The baby squid is soft and tender with a nice chewy and addictive texture. We loved the deep fried crunchy basil leaf topping. The sauce is slightly salty and packs a fiery punch. We had to ask them to lower the spicy level on our next visit and they do have a non-spicy version for those who have a weak sauce tummy like me!

Chok Dee BBQ pork is one of their "must try" signature dishes.

I am guessing they are using the pork shoulder cut which is tender and succulent. The chilli dipping sauce on the side was bold, fiery and tangy and helped cut through the slightly gamey or porky taste of the bbq meat. Miss K loved this dish but I found it a little too gamey for my liking!
