Believe the hype.
This is my new favourite Thai place. Will definitely go again.
We started with the soups - comes in an individual bowl, very cute.
Veggie tom yum and hot and sour soup - both were fantastic. Very flavourful and not too salty.
Chef's roll - HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I had it with chicken. The sauce is excellent and I just love those rice paper wrapped spring rolls. They are so refreshing and don't feel like they sit at the bottom of your stomach for the rest of the evening.
Now, I like my food SPICY. So upon recommendations from our lovely and cute waiter, I ordered the curry noodles. It wasn't that spicy. The dish was delicious, perhaps a little sweeter than I would have preferred but it was not spicy enough. They had a great oil hot sauce that was magical when I loaded it onto my noodles. I ordered it with shrimp - very satisfied with the noodle and shrimp/tofu ratio.
Finally, and this really was THE best part of the meal. Sticky rice in coconut milk with mango. First, the rice is black rice and cooked to a perfect al dente. Second, the mango was just before that over-ripened stage and was super sweet. I just wish I had more room to finish it. So sad.
Presentation and service were exceptional. I always find food tastes better when it's pleasing to the eye as well.
Until next time, chopsticks hi-ya!
