The main draw is definitely the crayfish! Fresh but a bit troublesome to peel and BBQ. The cheese is alright, don't expect fanciful fondue type of cheese though. The meat spread is decent, but it gets tiresome fast. Prawns were disappointing as it was already pre cooked. The mushrooms and squid were doused in a sweet teriyaki sauce which was a huge turn off. $32.90 nett for Fri/weekends.
The place gives you a traditional mookata experience by using charcoal. Be wary that you will reek of barbecue after your meal! Choose the outdoors if possible, we sat indoors which didn't have much aircon. Meat here were all well marinated and the soup was light. Thai milk tea was rather diluted. The platter for 2 shown here cost $39.90 nett. Add on some Tom yum Maggie Mee, mix in the egg and viola, you have a delicious (albeit overpriced) steamboat. Maybe I'm just not a fan of mookata, as I won't be proclaiming å¤Ŗ儽å just yet. The place also sells some dishes like seafood white beehoon from Monday to Thursday.
The meat here are quite well marinated. Prawns are already deshelled so less hassle eating it. The set shown here cost $45, which I think is a little steep considering the portion and quality. The msg laden soup was quite disappointing, but goes well with the glass noodles. Chilli here is the highlight, and I think they know it too, providing each guest with half a bowl of the garlicky sweet spicy goodness. Thai milk tea was just decent, can do with more spices.
Love the Green Thai curry here! Rich and thick with the coconut aroma. Eat this with plain rice and you're good to go. Also ordered the Thai style glass noodle which was a disappointment. Sloppy cooking which resulted in a very plain dish. Skip this. Got the mixed seafood salad too, thinking salad = vegetable but it was another carb dish with glass noodle. But the balance of sour and spicy certainly whetted our appetite. The Thai milk tea lacked depth but helped in alleviating the spiciness. Total bill came up to $27.
Located near Toa Payoh library, this stall (#01-176) in a small coffee shop claims to have the number one wanton mee in Bangkok. Certainly taste quite authentic, with the thin well cooked noodle doused in fragrant Thai garlic oil which was a tad salty for me. The char siu was average, a bit dry but came in a generous heap. The wanton soup provided looked really oily but was tasty, having a peppery pork stock base. The chilli flakes didn't add much heat to the dish. At $4.50, it seems to be on the pricier side but I feel that the portion and taste justifies it.
Was very excited to try this! On a weekend, the crowd starting thinning at 7 plus. The clear Tom Yum seafood is really delicious. More towards the sour side but with fresh seafood! The chicken green curry was disappointing with leftover bits of chicken and although very flavourful with the spices, I would prefer a heavier coconut taste. Got the Phad Thai tang hoon and seafood fried rice which was pretty good. I like how they weren't overly salted and seasoned. The other dishes like minced pork with basil and thai style kang kong were a bit saltish and quite standard fare. Don't bother with the warm mango sticky rice - glutinous rice was very plain and the coconut very thin. Get the Thai iced tea which was a sweet and refreshing drink.
