Read about this restaurant at OpenRice.com. Decided to give it a shot as I've always been fond of Thai Tze Char. Turned out it was a restaurant. Not the posh kind, and you probably won't even know it's open till you walk through their doors. No "OPEN" sign displayed and windows were mostly covered with some posters pasted over it. There was no one else around at 12pm on a Sunday, and by the time I left, there were 2 other groups of customers. But I'd keep it this way, for the occasional tr

There was no one else around at 12pm on a Sunday, and by the time I left, there were 2 other groups of customers. But I'd keep it this way, for the occasional treat I'd give myself to get away from the masses. The ambience within was pretty much like a family restaurant and there was a constant scent of lemongrass in the air.
No worries if you do not speak Thai, as the polite waitresses do speak English. The 3 of us ordered the following dishes:
Pineapple Fried Rice
The menu reflected a portion for 1 pax at $7. But the restaurant was flexible to whip up a sufficient portion for the 3 of us at $10+. The serving was unique - pyramid shaped. The rice was so tasty and addictive. Heck the carbs while you're here! I suspect what enhanced the flavour could be the lap cheong, curry powder, pepper and spices (definitely) within. This is a must-try dish!
Pork Leg
There was another dish - Pork Knuckle which cost $40. Since we already ordered crab, we thought we'd go easy on the calories (yes, balancing calorie intake is a conscious effort!). So, we ordered this "down-scaled" dish. It was interesting as aside from Pork Leg, it was accompanied with 2 other vegs and sliced egg! Looks a little like Kway Chap side dishes to me, only that KC is better! Haha! No shout about this dish, the Pork Leg wasn't exceedingly flavourful.
Salted Egg Crab
This dish is a SHOUT!!!!!! This is the 1st time I've eaten Salted Egg Crab, with Sliced Pumpkin!!! The pumpkin slices covered with Salted Egg sauce was absolutely delicious!!! We could choose between Sea Crab and Flower Crab - we picked the former, since there is more meat in it! The crab was big and fresh. Its meat could be picked out effortlessly. Real good!! And it cost a flat price of $40.
We ordered another dish - Lala, but I don't eat this, so can't comment much. I've tasted the gravy though, and it was good! A tad salty, and a little like Curry + Tom Yum. Whatever it was, I liked it! Haha!
Am I making a 2nd visit? You bet!
Total Cost: $96 for 3 pax.
