Located in the Yishun Industrial Park and still not that accessible yet, but soon it will be with the Canberra MRT station under construction nearby, I am surprised by how the entire coffee shop that houses Taste of Thailand got fully occupied on a weekend! There were even people waiting for tables during dinner time, and guess what, its popularity was so evident because all other stalls were closed.

I was told that this deep fried fish is a must try at Taste of Thailand. True enough, this fish was spotted on almost every table, although it looks a little hideous. What was really fascinating was how the fish was deboned and how the entire fish was covered in batter such that with every bite, there's both a crispy exterior and soft fish meat that follows after. The deboning makes it easier to pick out the meat without bones. Of course, the fin areas were a little more complex but really really crispy.

Be sure to dip the sweet chili to give it some kick, though the sauce was on a sweeter than spicy side. Adds more flavour rather than just a monotonous fried taste!
