[CLOSED] Rattana Thai Restaurant

As authentic as it looks - served right in a pineapple with tender chicken chunks and pineapple slices within. Every grain was light, fluffy. I love the generous portion of pork floss that came with the pineapple rice. It rekindled the lost love (& craving!) for pork floss. ‘Definitely one of the best dishes here.

Oh, and it’s part of the daily set lunch menu @ $10.90++, comes with a dessert! Ours was coconut ice cream that day! 😋

This was my dessert as part of the daily set lunch. It’s definitely slightly more than a scoop of coconut ice cream. x1.5 of the regular scoop I believe? For coconut lovers, this completes your Thai experience! Without being overly coconut-y nor jelat, it’s the perfect sweet ending to your meal!

This does not look as delicious, grand, nor instagrammable as compared to the pineapple fried rice counterpart but the pad Thai was actually what I returned a 2nd time for! (I had the beef pad thai on my first visit and had really loved it!). I conclude the beef pad Thai tasted better - there’s additional ‘sauce/gravy’ from the stir-fried beef that accentuated the flavours. Prawns were fresh and boiing-boiinngg but as a prawn pad thai, it wasn’t “wow”! I’ll return again, but no longer for the pad thai anymore! 🍍 fried rice stole my tastebuds in this second visit 😋

Incredibly awesome pad thai! The portion of beef strips were pretty generous - juicy and tender (so thankful it wasnt overcooked despite being pretty thinly sliced!) I love the assortment of sides - fried onions, raw onions, chili padi, peanuts which accompanied the pad thai! Carbs-to-protein ratio was close to 1-1, cos the lil' pile is not just cards but well mixed with pretty generous amount of tofu (protein right!!)

Decent Thai green curry but “not the best”- feedback from the boyf who has a more refined tongue and expectations for Thai food. My inexperienced tongue finds it pretty okay! Only gripe would be the chicken - while the meat was pretty tender, it came with a layer of significantly thick skin that kinda turned me off when I tried to peel the chicken skin off the meat!

Depending on the choice of meat the price could vary

Unfortunately this was way too sweet from the coconut cream and overly creamy as well, to the point where we can barely taste anything else.
