Signature Dishes
Made the trip down to the CBD area to have dinner at Rama Thai one Sunday evening. Our previous meal there ended on a high note so we were definitely eager to return. Claypot Shark's Fin with Crab Meat - As the name of the restaurant suggests, Rama Thai specialises in sharks fin. And the claypot fins were good. Although a tad smaller than what we had previously, the fins were still sizable and simmered in a savoury, not too starchy broth with crab meat and crunchy beansprouts for companion. Bamboo Clams - At $10++ a pop, I'm not sure the clams were worth it. Sure, they were quite a size and tasted decent, topped with garlic and vermicelli. But somehow there seems to be a disparity in quality and price. Prawn Cake - I thought this was average as the prawn taste wasn't dominant and honestly the whole thing was just bland paste. Lemon Chicken - This dish was a joke. The chicken was coated with a ridiculous amount of flour so much so that biting into a piece was akin to chomping down on deep fried flour. If it makes things any better, at least the flour was crisp and the lemon sauce, tangy. Stir Fried Broccoli with Scallops - A most simple yet appetising dish of greens. The broccoli was imbued with a subtle wok hei and came across as crunchy and well stir fried. The scallops were a little soft though. Baked Crab Vermicelli - This was reminiscent of what I had at Thai Village sometime back. And just for the record, I love Thai Village's rendition. Rama Thai's offering wasn't too shabby though. The vermicelli was fragrant with peppery nuances but overly dry whilst the crab meat was sweet and satisfying. Would have liked a little more gravy please. Deep Fried Squid - The only thing I liked about this dish was the cashew nuts that came alongside. The squid itself was lost in the thick layer of breading flour but at least the sauce had a little sweetness and spiciness to it. Very average. I'll be the first to admit. The food we had this time round wasn't as stellar as what we had the last round. Could it be an indication that Rama Thai's standards are dropping or that we should have just stuck to the tried and tested dishes? I guess I'll only know on my next visit. If I ever return, that is.

We went pass this restaurant the other day and decided to try it out. The appetizer is quite refreshing! It has lots of cucumber and pineapple cut in cubes, and tastes sour and spicy! The Pineapple fried rice ($14) tastes pretty ordinary, but the wow factor is the pork floss on top, that sort of giving the rice a extra bit of flavour and different texture. Claypot noodle soup with crabmeat ($15) is delicious. Served in a hot claypot, the soft noodles is cooked in the starchy broth (tastes like the shark fin broth). Very filling. We also ordered the Thai special lemon chicken ($14). The chicken pieces are deep-fried crisply, and the lemon sauce is very strong. Sour with a hint of sweetness.

Great setting for simple family gathering~It's a small and simple restaurant with a classy elegant feel...The servers are friendly~The portion is reasonable and the price is average...The shark fin is great and u can choose how much garnish to add in unlike other restaurants...There were many other dishes that was pretty tasty but its shark fin left me wanting more... I'm not a big fan of shark fin but the broth used was of good quality...Great for families that have elderly as the servers are patient and kind to the elders...
