| - Sabai Sabai has the most amazing Thai food ever. I've come to Sabai Sabai a couple of times, and everytime I go, I try to order something different. Sabai Sabai is tapa style, so all the foods are meant to share. Luckily the people I went with have small appetites, so we were able to try a little bit of everything at a time. Pros to having tapa style is you get to try different things, but it gets quite expensive. This would definitely be expensive if you go with someone who has to eat a lot, since the portion sizes of each dish are small.
So far, I've tried:
Thai Iced Milk Tea - very sweet due to the condensed milk. I would have liked it if it was less sweet, but the drink is made in a batch, so there isn't that option. (just like khao san road - apparently they're the same owner!!)
Coconut water (roasted and sweetened) - tasted a bit bland, but the coconut bits in the drink helped. It actually would have been better if the straw was a bit bigger, since the coconut bits couldn't get through the straw.
Squash Fritters - Amazing. Best when they're crispy and just fried. One time I had it and it was a bit soft, so it's a hit or miss dish. There were actually a lot of fritters in one serving, which was nice for sharing.
Street style Rice Noodles - Tastes exactly like Pad Thai. It was amazing. It's served in a banana leaf, and there's just enough for two people.
Grilled satay chicken - I get them everytime. I love the peanut sauce it comes with.
Khao Soi - Love it and get it everytime now. I think it's one of the best khao soi I've ever had. Amazing curry and proportion of noodles, chicken and veggies is good.
Eggplant - I usually don't like eggplant, but I love it here. They put just the right amount of spice in it that it's not too overwhelming.
Spicy papaya salad - As it says on the menu, it's spicy! I wasn't a big fan of this dish, as I'm not a big fan of the herb they had in it. If you're into spicy and refreshing and cilantro (I think that's what it was..), then you're going to love this dish
Crispy Fried Taro Rolls - Taro wrapped around bean curd, then fried. It was amazing, like a dim sum dish, but even better. And the sweet and sour sauce matches this appetizer perfectly!
Tom Ka soup - It's a strange soup. At first, I thought it would be all coconut tasting, since the soup is white, but once I drank it, it was sour. I got kind of scared it was a soup gone bad, but then I remembered Tom Yum soup is sour like this. So, if you're into sour soup, this is for you. Also, there was a herb taste in it I didn't like, which made it not outstanding for me.
Lao Minced Pork Salad - Comes with lettuce which you wrap the pork around. It's just like the Chinese dish where you have stir fry in one bowl and lettuce in another plate, and you pile the stir fry into the lettuce which becomes your wrap. Nothing really special about this.
Dessert - it seems to always be the same. Mango sticky rice. Which I am not complaining about because this tastes sooo goood. I get it everytime I go, and this dish definitely reminds me of Thailand. Fresh Mango on sticky rice with coconut sauce. SO GOOD
Overall, I'd recommend to my friends to go, and I'd definitely go again..and again, and again! Especially since it's close to work and all. Also, there are dishes in the take out menu that cannot be ordered in house! I would go for a try some time for take out if you find the wait time to be too long, since the restaurant itself is tiny.
