Having been to Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre for quite a number of times, one of the stalls that got us fairly intrigued about would be that of Jirawat Authentic Thai Food — the stall can be found at the row of stalls at the back of the entire hawker centre closest to Woodlands Stadium; one of the notable stalls located at the same row as where Jirawat Authentic Thai Food is within hawker centre would be Ye Lai Xiang Laksa. Sporting a light blue signage, Jirawat Authentic Thai Food serves up Thai cuisine — all of which being served in portion sizes suitable for individual diners with noodle and rice options to choose from. There are also some dishes that are being served up in a set format which sees a bowl of Tom Yum Soup being served up alongside the rice / noodle dish as well.

Having not had a Pad Thai dish for quite a while, we found ourselves going for the Pad Thai during our visit to Jirawat Authentic Thai Food. Jirawat Authentic Thai Food does not describe the elements that come with their Pad Thai on its menu; that being said, it is noted that the Pad Thai at Jirawat Authentic Thai Food comes in one version which would the seafood variant that sees it coming with prawns. Other elements that came with the dish would be fried Beancurd puffs. One thing to note about the Pad Thai served up at Jirawat Authentic Thai Food would be how it is being served up dry; this is also the way that we prefer our Pad Thai to be. Tossing the noodles together with the dried chili on the side with a squeeze of the lime zest, we did note that the Pad Thai here comes savoury with a slight hint of sweetness — there is definitely a strong note of savouriness coming from the use of fish sauce while it leans towards being sweet; all that whilst carrying a slight tang and zing in its finish that was further enhance by the addition of lime. The noodles were done pretty well in the sense where it is chewy, while the addition of beansprouts delivered a crunch that contrasted against it. The seafood wasn’t particularly remarkable in terms of quality, while the beancurd comes coated in the same sauce that covers the noodles — provided ample flavour whilst giving yet another dimension of texture with its spongey, airy and soft bite.
