I got to try new flavours of Thai foods with the creation of the young chef. Rochor Thai is located along the streets of Joo Chiat/ Katong/ Siglap. We were served with Nam Tak Krai Kab Bai Toey - Pandanus Lemongrass Welcome Drink. It’s a refreshing sweet and cool drink. The pandan aroma flavour accompanies the refreshing lemongrass. So it covers the strong taste of the lemongrass.First appertizer was served. Kanon Jeen Sao Nam- J’s Cold Sald of Kanom Jeen Noodles. The cold noodles was served wit
We were served with Nam Tak Krai Kab Bai Toey - Pandanus Lemongrass Welcome Drink. It’s a refreshing sweet and cool drink. The pandan aroma flavour accompanies the refreshing lemongrass. So it covers the strong taste of the lemongrass.First appertizer was served. Kanon Jeen Sao Nam- J’s Cold Sald of Kanom Jeen Noodles.
The cold noodles was served with sprinkled grated coconut and dried shrimp and mixed sauces to bring out the sweetness, spiciness and sourness. Something interesting to me as the starter was quite appertizing with the compliment of the refreshing vermicelli. Not too heavy to start off with for a dinner.
Som Tum - Green Papaya Salad Central Thailand Style (S$6.80). I felt the taste is ok only. The salads was served ‘wet’. The long beans tasted slightly raw but that’s how Thai people prepared their food. The nuts was topped into the dish to bring out the crunchiness of the dish.
Tom Yum Talay - Hot and Spicy Seafood Soup with Thai Herbs (S- S$8.80 , L- S$15.80). Surprisingly not that superb spicy I thought. The soup wasn’t too oily and it is a good kick off to start the meal. You can taste the sweetness of the soup as the seafoods are blend into the soup.Po Taek - Clear Spicy Sour Soup with Holy Basil and Kaffir Lime Leaves (S- S$8.80 , L-S$15.80). Superb spicy soup! The soup broth was prepared with oly basil and kaffir lime leaves and even I feel the spiciness covered over the seafoods.
Pla Nin Pao - Salt Baked Whole Tilapia served with Spicy Coriander Sauce (S$22.80). Salt-baked tilapia was well-prepared. The moisture and the tenderness of the fish meat was very smooth. I can’t taste the muddy taste from tilapia though. If you dipped with the spicy coriander sauce, it will gives you another taste of it.
Kor Moo Yang - Seared Pork Collar served with Aromatic Dried Chilli Sauce (S$12.80). Some find it salty but I think it is a great combination if you are having plain rice. The pork collar are sliced into thinner slices and dipped with the aromatic dried chilli sauce.It certainly goes very well.
Gaeng Kaew Wan Gai - Chef's Special Green Curry with Chicken Thigh and Thai Eggplant (S- S$11.80 , L-S$18.80). Strong thick taste of the soup base was served on table. The chicken meat was cut into smaller slices and the eggplants was not overcooked made us easier to consume.
Gaeng Phet Pla Krapong Daeng - Dry Red Curry with Red Snapper Fillets (S- S$16.80 , L-S$24.80). This is my favourite dish. The sweet and savoury of the red curry and the smooth and tender snapper fillets totally make the dish outstanding.
Pad Kee Mao Goong – Stir Fried Thai “Drunken” Style Prawns (S- S$16.80 , L- S$24.80). The prawn was served fresh and meaty too.
Hoay Lai Pad Prik Pao - Clams Flambe in Chilli Jam and Chef's Stock (S-S$14.80, L-S$22.80). The clams are fresh and it went well with the chef’s stock.
Pad Thai Talay (S- S$7.80, L-S$14.80). The texture of the pad thai was just nice for my liking. The dish wasn’t too dry at all. You can taste slight sweetness and spicy when you mix the ingredients together to eat.
Khao Niew Ma Muang - Mango Sticky Rice (S$7.80)Presentation was lovely. The usual sticky rice was served with the coconut milk sauce but for Rochor Thai, they have it with toasted sesame seeds. I can smell the fragrance of the toasted sesame seeds and the sticky rice was so soft that you will not feel that it is too dry to go with the mango.
Tab Tim Grob - Thai Red Ruby (S$4.80). Desserts for people who loves sweet taste bud. The vibrant red colour of the ruby with the creamy taste is all over my mouth when I had them.The restaurant commitment is to not using MSG and no service charge and GST. It is quite affordable and you might want to give it a try.
