Thai Express @ Plaza Singapura

In yesterday's post, I mentioned Thai Express, so here's the photos.

This place always reminds us that looks are deceiving. But we enjoyed abusing our tongue and lips. The Tom Yam Soup here always looks so clear and mild. But this is fiery soup. Weaklings need not bother. haha..



I had the Thai Laksa. It looks mild too yah? But this jade-green dish, looks tame but it is wild!



Uncle had Seafood Horfun. Looks yummy too eh?



We always seem to order the same mango or papaya salad. So this time, we tried something different. We had the mushroom and tofu salad. It is actually quite good.



Sis and Cousin both had Phad Thai. Do you realise our brains have somehow being wired that thai food = phad thai. haha...



Hope you rested well over the weekend.
What is your favourite Thai Dish?

Patara Fine Thai Cuisine @ Raffles City (Part 2)

We tried 2 different kinds of rice as well. Crabmeat Rice and also the Black Olive Rice.
We like the Black Olive Rice better. Maybe its because it has those fragrant pieces of meat. :-)



For the veg, we ordered the Aubergine. It's Aubergine stir-fried with shrimp paste, chilli and basil. Sis is tasked to cook eggplant until it taste like this. haha... I like basil fried like this.



Green Curry is ordered when our uncle joins us. He likes green curry, so do all of us!
Chicken green curry with aubergine and sweet basil. Ingredients almost similar to the top one! But it taste so different.



If you are like us, want to try it all, you will order the Mix Grilled Platter.
It has the grilled Australian Sirloin and grilled Pork Neck, with Essan style glutinous rice. I don't know what Essan means, but its the thing wrapped up in the green leaves.



We have the option to pay an extra $7 for the desserts buffet, but we could not eat anymore. Maybe another time. Wonder if they have only dessert buffet without the mains. hehe..

How much? Not posting the receipt as they still print the full credit card number on it. (err time to update system and print only the last 4 digits please...) $215.40 Quite all right for 5 and provided excellent service and food.

Patara Fine Thai Cuisine @ Raffles City

Sunday afternoon, we thought of trying Thai food at Patara. My guest blogger did post it once and said the food was good.


So came here because we had a $40 voucher. Err. come to think of it, that voucher is enough to off set the Service charge and GST only! haha...

We truly enjoyed the food there. Fine table cloth and nice plates. They changed plates after our starters too. Realised they are particular on how the plates are laid in front of us. The patterns are placed correctly.




5 of us were there. Tried the Ice Lemongrass Tea. 3 of us took this, 1 hot lemongrass tea and at the back of the picture, 1 watermelon juice for the kid.



We ordered stuff that has a recommendation mark on the menu.
This is wraps that we ate. It's called Miang Kam. It has betelnut leaves wrapped over minced chicken salad, peanuts, chilli, lime, onion and ginger.



This is Porpia Pak Ar, Thai tacos served with stir-fried minced chicken, prawns, tofu and beansprouts. We liked this very much.



The soup on the menu looks tempting, so we ordered 2 of them.
This is the Fish Maw Soup. Sis and Aunt loves fish maw, so they enjoyed it lots. It comes with quail eggs in it.



We also had a Seafood Tom Yum Soup. Photos came out too too blur, so it's not appearing here. hehe.

What else did we have? See tomorrow's post.

BaliThai @ Suntec City

Last nite, if you read by other blog you would have read that I met up with Kaa & Hubby from Vantaa DP. We ate at BaliThai.

These are the things we ordered.
Pandan Chicken



The starter platter.



That consists of Satay.



Fish cakes, spring rolls



and rice crackers.



This is the pineapple rice.



Phad Thai



Green Chicken Curry. I like green curry. hehe..



Stir fried Kailan.



This is so so deceiving.... When we sat down, we were asked if we wanted drinks. We said water, the lady said still or sparking. We thought still would be good. We thought that it is one of those places that do not serve plain old water.

At the end of the meal, we realise that all the tables beside us had the normal water and someone refilling water. Hey! We got cheated! We asked for water and they tricked us by asking for still or sparking. We paid $12 before taxes for water! haha....

The food is not bad. We just had a 'bad' impression left by the water. LOL...

Lerk Thai @ Square 2

It has been a long time since we went anywhere near Novena. We realised that there's a new 'Square 2' just beside the previously known Novena Sq that is now called Velocity. (confused? i was. haha..)

We ate at Lerk Thai.




The Rolls that was ordered. I particularly like the sauce that goes with it. Very peanuty. yum...



This is the fried Tang Hoon.



Tom Yam Soup. This is their offer item, we were surprised. This pot of soup only $2.



Pandan Wrapped Chicken.



Mixed Platter of Thai Dessert.



Red Ruby Dessert.



That was our quick lunch.
