2.5 star + 0.5 star (because it is in Pickering?)
I circled this strip Mall twice before I find Red House Thai & Malaysian Restaurant.. The sign is really small.. or I am just getting older?!
The waitress here is super nice and welcoming... and when she knows that we speak the same dialect, she got more exciting and even went into the kitchen and tell the chef that someone here eating speak Cantonese... sigh.. is it a good sign?
Lunch Specials serves from 11 AM to 3 PM Daily... starting from $6.95 includes 2 spring rolls and a pop.
Mee Noon Goreng Chicken ($7.45)
- it is really vermicelli stired fried with chicken and veggie in a Sambal Sauce
- It is served in a metal wok... sigh...
- not bad, but I think I can do it by getting a bottle of Sambal sauce from the supermaket... it lacks the real taste and kick of authenticity
- Spring Rolls are frozen supermarket varieties too
It is a little unfair to based my review on just one visit or one particular dish... but really sometimes it is the first impression that counts...
Red House Thai & Malaysian is a decent restaurant in Pickering area because of the limited in choices... so if you are in the area and you want an Asian food fix.. you won't be disappointed.
BTW, the lunch menu online is outdated.. they changed the offereings and the price a little bit.
