My colleague recommended me this newly opened Thai restaurant at ION Orchard, telling me that it's a really popular restaurant chain in Thailand, with this Singapore outlet as their first outlet outside of Thailand! Decided to give this place a try since with the high reputation, the food must be good right?The first thing I noticed after I stepped into the restaurant is the nice, classy yet cozy ambiance of the restaurant, and the super friendly service staffs!The restaurant is decorated with T
The first thing I noticed after I stepped into the restaurant is the nice, classy yet cozy ambiance of the restaurant, and the super friendly service staffs!The restaurant is decorated with Thai traditional looking decors on their walls, with dim lighting and cozy seats. The entire place gave me a really good vibe straight from the beginning!
I had a Hors d'oeuvre Nara to share with my company and I really liked it! Hors d'oeuvre Nara is mixture of some of their signature starters - a good set to order if you are not sure which to get.From the set, Tord Mun Pla (Thai fish cakes) & Gai Hor Bai Toei (Pandan Chicken) really impressed me. Tord Mun Pla is chewy with a hint of Tom Yum. It's super flavourful and is my favourite from this platter set! Gai Hor Bai Toei is really good too. Wrapped and deep fried (?) in pandan leaf, the chicken is well marinated and packed with flavours of Thai spices!
This is the first time I've tried Pad Thai and I was rather taken back by it as I thought it would be spicy from looking at the pictures, but it turned out to be quite sweet in taste. The noodles are rather springy in texture and surprisingly addictive. I'm not really used to having sweet noodles but I do like this dish. The prawns are really fresh & juicy too!
For dessert, we ordered a large portion of Mango Sticky Rice which comes with a generous serving of coconut milk and mango. I'm not a fan of this dish as the glutinous rice and coconut milk are too sweet for me. However I do like how they're generous with their mango which are sweet with a tinge of sourness. Overall it's an enjoyable meal of authentic Thai delicacies for me with great service to match! The staffs were really attentive and friendly, making us feel really welcomed. Kudos to them!
There's a 10% opening promo going on so if you are thinking of giving this popular Thai restaurant chain a try, now is a good time!Post
