Pleasantly surprised by this neighbourhood restaurant. Walked in thinking this to be just another Thai restaurant. Turned out to be my first exposure to Laotian food. If only I had known!
Wife and I had Pad Thai and Kao Peik Sen. The Paid Thai had a very mild but fragrant flavour, very different from the common bold-flavoured version as others have mentioned. It noticeably had no sweet-and-sour ketchup taste and less prominent "wok qi". In addition, there was a good layer of thin but tasty sauce that covered the bottom of the dish. As a result, the noodle went in the mouth with a lot of juice. The taste was delightful and easy-going (you can opt for more spiciness apparently), great for the summer. There was also a generous amount of cilantro and green onion bits in the dish, which made two northern Chinese very happy.
The Kao Peik Sen was a hearty soup. The noodle in this soup were thick and stumpy, very chewy with a lot of rice flavour. Tasted like it's hand-made. I imagine this would make a wonderful winter comfort dish.
Overall, great food quality for the price. Very friendly staff. Definitely coming back.
