Jai Thai

Was looking for a value for money place to celebrate mummy's birthday and chose this place... i know i know.. i came here twice in a week! and managed to take pictures this time round. We ordered the family meal for 6 at $59, and added ala carte items- pandan chicken, fried platter and glutinous rice. I realised i missed out one picture of a plate of prawn.

Anyway food is good quality, huge quantity and tasty as usual, with very fast and efficient service! Let's look at a break down of the taste of the different dishes:

1. Tomyum soup- there are 2 options, the chilli paste and clear tomyum, we picked the clear one so the angmokia can tolerate it. lol. Anyway it had a lot of fresh seafood like fish and sotong and juicy prawn. =)

2. Mango salad is my favourite as usual! I think me alone finished half the medium plate! I think i can eat this salad for all my meals for a couple of days... lol..

3. Pandan chicken to me was so-so, it was grilled well but i didnt really taste or smell any pandan. Angmokia really liked this dish because of the crispy grilled skin of the chicken.. and for once even told me," if u don't want the skin you know who to give.."

4. Fried platter- it came with the prawn cakes(which was already included on our family set), otah fish cakes and fried tofu squares. Umm, as all fried platters.. nothing spectacular.

5. Chilli fish- included in the set menu.. to daddy and angmokia's delight, the really think it was a good deal-- fresh, tasty and super worth it! They let u choose how u wan the fish done, can be pepper, garlic and chilli.. so they recommended this..

6. Mango glutinuous- mango was sweet but my mum said that the rice is abit hard.. feels like the microwave it to heat it up. It has a surprisingly lack of desserts though.. would have tried red ruby of they had..

thats it! $110 to fill 6 very satisfied tummy!

This is my second time here and am very very sure will be back for more!

This place serves really quality food--not skimping on amount, flavourful and super value for money!
They serve a good set lunch at about $8 with a 'mini-buffet for 1' style lunch U get to have abt 4-5 dishes for one person served with rice and a jelly for dessert. I think its very worth it. Today, there were 4 of us in total and we only paid $63 for a whole table of food! Let me break it down:

Family set Meal B (3-4 pax)
1) Sweet and sour fish(whole fish)
2) Stir fry veg (cabbage & kailan)
3) Chicken stirfry with cashew nuts
4) tom yum soup with fresh squid,fish and prawns (4 person serving)
5) 4 steamed rice

We added a small mango salad(my favourite!) and a prawn omelette.

On top of that we had a drink each.
Really.. and the great thing is the portions are not frustratingly small.. to me the fish itself is the more value for money. =)

Green Curry Chicken 青咖喱鸡 (Small $5)
Thick but would like to be more spicy.

Fried Rice Noodle (Phad Thai) (Middle $7)
Tasty but do not have the wok-like tasting.

Pandan Chicken (班兰叶鸡) ($2/ pc)
My love of the day – sweet honeyed tender chicken breast in sweet thai chili sauce.

Mixed Vegetable w/ Chinese Mushroom (杂菜香菇) (Small $5)
Normal

Prawn Cake (虾饼) ($2/pc)
Taste more like fish in first bite. There are bits and pieces of prawns in it.

I LOVE any food that has the smoky Wok Hei taste and this restaurant has achieved it well!

I ordered the Basil Vegetables Rice and the Vegetables came with the wonderful Wok Hei taste It was quite spicy but the vegetable were fresh and crisp, being just stirred through in a very hot wok. The accompanying egg was not oily and the yolk was just set to my liking The Basil Beef Rice was delicious with the same sweetish, spicy sauce and had a generous portion of beef served.The desserts here are also very well done. The Red Ruby and Chendol was cold and refreshing, served with coconut milk.

But it is the Thai Ice Tea that was great in washing down the meal. It had a rich and strong tea flavour with milk added to it.

Will keep going back
