| - i would give it a 3.5 rating.
Came here with my boyfriend for lunch. I know they had a location in DT but they opened one in Scarborough so I was curious to giving it a try.
Thai iced milk tea ($3.50)
This was noted as a must try from all the reviews I read so I gave it a try. We ordered the original, with red tea. It was REALLY sweet. Tasted great, but I wasn't able to finish it by myself as it was way too sweet. I've had Thai iced tea elsewhere and it is known to be sweet, but just a heads up to be prepared it is really really sweet.
Lemongrass Chicken Wings ($9)
This was one of the house special appetizers. I was slightly disappointed in this dish. It tasted more like sweet and spicy chicken wings, as opposed to lemon grass. I rarely tasted the lemon grass flavor.
Khao Soi ($12)
This apparently is one of the house specials so we definitely gave this a try - egg noodles with yellow curry, lime, coleslaw, onion and beef. I would have liked it a lot more if the beef meat was more tender, as it was slightly tough and dry. The curry itself was good, more on the sweet side meaning it was more of a coconut curry. The noodles were good. The fried crispy crunches on the top added a nice crunch texture to the noodles.
Pad Kee Mao ($8 lunch special)
Another house special - hot and spicy stir-fried rice noodles with egg and basil based sauce. You can taste the basil and a nice spicy kick to the dish, but I felt like the flavor was still a little bland for my liking. The rice noodles were cooked nicely though, had that 'wok hei'.
Overall it was good - the food was authentic, service was quick. However, I would prefer visiting Malaysian Gourmet instead.
