Over at Odeon Katong, there lies a hidden gem by the name of Baan Khun Nai headed by Thai Chef, Kwang. With the passion of bringing authentic Thai cuisine close to the hearts of many Singaporeans, she has jointly open this family-friendly casual restaurant to bring her signature dishes to us at a very wallet-friendly price.
For starters, the delicious Grilled Pork with Thai Sauce ($11) makes a great appetizer as a finger food to nibble on. Accompanied by the secret Thai chilli dip made by Chef Kwang, it adds a new dimension of flavours to complement the smoky char-grilled pork slices. It was simply addictive and definitely goes well with beer as a snack too!
I am a huge fan of Green Curry Chicken ($8) and this ones has a texture just right; not too diluted or rich. With crunchy eggplant, huge slices of chicken simmered in coconut curry, it has a lovely flavour which goes very well with my bowl of white rice. Oh, huge peas were added in too and there is a minty, uplifting after-taste of the green curry which can be an acquired taste for some.
Coming to the Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($8), I love the generous amount of ingredients such as prawns, sliced fish, squid, straw mushrooms and tomatoes in it. I ordered the spiciness of level 1 chilli and the spice is pretty mild for most, leaning more to the sour side. However, it is recommended to order level 2 chilli for a good balance of flavour. I enjoyed this dish because it wasn't too oily as they did not use a lot of tom yum chilli oil.
Ending my dinner on a sweet note, the Mango Sticky Rice ($6) surely can't be missed. The mangoes are naturally sweet and when eaten with the warm, moist and sticky glutinous rice topped with coconut cream, I was in seventh heaven right away. 1 dish is definitely not enough for me and I would re-visit Baan Khun Nai for more of this!The overall dining experience at Baan Khun Nai Authentic Thai Cuisine was a great one as I got to try the true blue flavour of dishes the way they are which reminded me of my visit to Bangkok. The service staff was very attentive to quickly refill our drinks when he saw that our glasses were running low. I have to give 2 thumbs up for this!
It is a very relax and casual environment so even if you are not here for a meal, it is a perfect place to chill over some snacks and homemade drinks like their Thai Ice Tea or Lemongrass Tea perfect for detoxification.
