| - I was craving something sweet, sour, salty, and spicy.... Thai Food!!
I couldn't tell if this place was closed till I came a little closer and saw people dining in.
Very Friendly service! They greeted us and sat us down. It wasn't busy at all. The wall arts are pretty cool. The ambience is intimate but relaxed. You can also bring your family here for a celebratory event.
I've been here before and ordered the pad Thai, it was OK. Their fish dishes were amazing! So we went with the fried red snapper with sweet and sour sauce. We also ordered the seafood shrimp paste fried rice, calamari and chicken coconut soup.
The soup was great! Very flavorful! You can really taste the lemongrass and the sweetness of the coconut milk to balance it out. The calamari was a bit too oily for the ones that were at the bottom of the plate but the ones on top were very crispy and all were cooked to perfection, not chewy at all! The sauce that came with it is a sweet and sour almost light syrup consistency. The rice dish came and boy was it goooood! You can taste the smoky shrimp paste flavour with shrimp, squid, mussels, and crab meat (imitation kind, not a fan of that). The squid was cooked perfectly. I find that some restaurant can't pull off cooking squid perfectly on a rice dish but this place killed it. The fish has finally arrived! A nice piece of red snapper fillet!! So meaty packed full of flavour with veggies and garnished with lime (which I squeezed all over the dish) and grapefruit yum!!
Now this was my biggest mistake about what I ordered. Both dishes are so packed full of flavour, I couldn't eat much of it. It almost made every bite saltier and saltier. Next time if I order the fish, I would order plain rice! That would balance the sweet and sour fish very well instead of a fried rice type of dish. The fried rice was good on its own. The portion size was very generous on all dishes. The food came out pretty quickly.
Overall this place was great and intimate! I would come here again!
