| - I ordered the chicken guay teow (spicy) take out. Loved the taste! It was light, with some veggies, and nicely seasoned (maybe lighter on the seasoning would be better).
I have to mention the spice. I got the spicy and this is actually spicy. Are you the type of person who go to some restros and order something "suicidal hot" on the menu and be like, hey, could you make it twice as spicy because your suicidal hot is a medium for me? If so you will find their spice proper, but not overwhelming. The spice is strong but has more layers to it. By comparison I have tried the "thai spicy" at sukho thai, that for example is the spice that I do not like, because it lacks any other flavor that should come with the pepper and dominate the whole plate with boring, dry heat. White elephant on the other hand offer the spice that compliment the taste of the food.
One big complaint, the portion. Way too small. The noodle is 10 dollars and I felt I could have another one after I ak done. From a business point of view it cost the restaurant 30 cents to add a bit more noodle and veg to the plate and it wouldve been so much better value. Lets face it, this restro is thai street food on queen and Parliament basically 20 meters east of the big moss park project and 10 meters west of salvation army. I am expecting their rent is cheap and I can get some good value food and if they do offer that Im willing to walk up from King often. But the reality is most of time I get my take out at the pathetic fast food place or bars on king. And this place is totally empty tonight. Not even one customer, just me getting take out. They really need to seize every customer they have and give them more reasons to come back, especially when they already make great food and I would be sad if they dont succeed.
