			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20536" title="Jai Thai" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jai-Thai.jpg" alt="Jai Thai" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I was craving for Thai food after blogging about my <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/12/eating-bangkok-thailand-street-food/">trip to Bangkok</a></span>. Since folks kept telling me that Jai Thai serves <em>cheap and good Thai food</em>, I decided to make a trip there for lunch.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Jai Thai Restaurant</strong> has three outlets at East Coast Road, Clover Way, and the other at Purvis Street where we went to. The menu is broad in categories: appetisers, curry, tom yum, seafood, beef, chicken, vegetable, rice and noodle; and deep in choices, with plenty of dishes to choose from under each category. With the exception of steamed fish which cost slightly more, most of the items on the menu are priced between $5-8 for small portion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is my new favourite <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/03/best-thai-restaurants-food-singapore/">Thai Restaurant</a></span> to go for a quick and inexpensive meal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-20535"></span>We knew what we wanted, which was a good thing because there are so many things on the menu. Between the two of us, we shared four dishes and two Thai milk tea. The food came quickly and we started with the Phad Thai, the dish that is synonymous with Thailand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I really liked Jai Thai&#8217;s Phad Thai ($5 for small); the noodles had a nice <em>wok-hei</em> and the right level of moistness. With a squeeze of lime, it was textbook perfect.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20537" title="Green Curry" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Green-Curry.jpg" alt="Green Curry" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The other dishes that we had were decent, nothing to write home about. Take for instance, the Green Curry Chicken ($5 for small). It was certainly satisfying, but nothing special to make me sit up and take notice.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20538" title="Tom Yum" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tom-Yum.jpg" alt="Tom Yum" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tom Yum Seafood Soup  ($5 for small), while tasty &#8211; would be  perfect if it was hotter. I know, I know. I&#8217;m asking for it. But for  something like Tom Yum, it&#8217;s either all or nothing.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20539" title="Thai Mango Salad" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Thai-Mango-Salad.jpg" alt="Thai Mango Salad" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A simple and honest meal. <strong>Jai Thai</strong> serves very decent Thai Food at affordable prices. I&#8217;m adding it to my list of <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/03/best-thai-restaurants-food-singapore/">Best Thai Restaurants in Singapore</a>, definitely going back soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17743" title="First Thai Purvis Street" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/First-Thai-Purvis-Street.jpg" alt="First Thai Purvis Street" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While we are at the topic of finding <em>cheap eats in Singapore</em>, I would like to share with you a no-frills Thai restaurant that I went recently.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>First Thai</strong> is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/03/best-thai-restaurants-food-singapore/">Thai Restaurant</a></span> at Purvis Street. It has been around for some time, so it&#8217;s not surprising that the Thai eatery is always fully packed during meal times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-17742"></span>There was a long queue forming outside shortly after we got a table. For those who couldn&#8217;t wait, they probably went to Yet Con Hainanese Chicken Rice, or maybe Jai Thai, another Thai food place at Purvis Street.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17745" title="Tom Yum Soup" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Tom-Yum-Soup.jpg" alt="Tom Yum Soup" width="550" height="803" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After a quick glance at the menu, we ordered a few items to share. The Tom Yum Seafood ($7), a classic Thai dish, came first. Hot and spicy, it was the perfect dish to start off our Thai feast. <em>Sawatdee Khrab</em>!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17744" title="Phad Thai" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Phad-Thai.jpg" alt="Phad Thai" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m a <em>scaredy cat</em> when it comes to spicy food. So after the Tom Yum seafood soup, we had Olive rice ($8), Fried Prawn Cake ($3/pc), Basil Leaves Fried with Pork/Chicken ($8), and my favourite Phad Thai ($8).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I would have gone for the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken Floss ($8), but <a href="http://www.misstamchiak.com/">misstamchiak</a> suggested having the signature Olive Rice instead. Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but I don&#8217;t understand the appeal of olive rice with nuts when you can have the extremely yummy Pineapple Fried Rice with the even <em>yummier</em> chicken floss. The other dishes were decent, and by the time everything was gone, we almost couldn&#8217;t move from our chairs.</p>
<p>As Thai food goes, they are not <em>that</em> spicy, and I like that.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17746" title="Thai olive rice" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Thai-olive-rice.jpg" alt="Thai olive rice" width="550" height="357" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>First Thai Restaurant</strong> at Purvis Street is one of the more popular no-frills Thai Restaurants where you can get relatively <em>cheap and good Thai food</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16156" title="Aroy Dee Thai Food" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Aroy-Dee-Thai-Food.jpg" alt="Aroy Dee Thai Food" width="550" height="358" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve promised to tell you about <strong>Aroy Dee Thai Restaurant</strong> when I blogged about <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/05/thai-gold-food-sbey-sbey-sunshine-plaza/">Thai Gold Food</a> at Sunshine Plaza, so here it is. To keep the long story short, both <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/03/best-thai-restaurants-food-singapore/">Thai eateries</a> at Sunshine Plaza serve <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cheap and good Thai Food</span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-16155"></span>Just imagine this: you and your dining companion sit down in a rather run-down <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">restaurant</span> eatery and order the signature Thai Milk Tea. The cold and creamy drink suddenly makes the stuffy room more bearable, and you are finally ready to look through the menu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The must-order dishes here are surely the <em>Phat Thai</em> ($5) and <em>Pineapple Fried Rice</em> ($6). There&#8217;s no fussy presentation to bewitch you, nor are there nice plates that hold the food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Topped with the gorgeous pork floss, the impressive Pineapple Fried Rice came with a generous serving of prawns, hidden carefully within the rice. The flavourful and sublime Phat Thai was around to make sure that the Pineapple Fried Rice did not steal the limelight</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16159" title="Garlic Prawn" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Garlic-Prawn.jpg" alt="Garlic Prawn" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You would be tempted by the steamed fish dishes (from $25-$30), which are very popular with the customers at Aroy Dee. You would also wonder if it is wise to order the <em>Thai Tom Yum Soup</em> ($6), <em>Mango Salad</em> ($6), and <em>Deep Fried Calamari</em> ($10) when there is a table of food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eventually, the temptation was too much to resist and we succumbed to the <em>Fried Garlic Prawn</em> ($10). It was definitely an impulsive order as there was too much food and we could not even finish half of it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16160" title="Thai Green Curry" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Thai-Green-Curry.jpg" alt="Thai Green Curry" width="550" height="348" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And did I tell you about the <em>Chicken Green Curry</em> ($6)? By now, I&#8217;m sure you are too full to read about it, so go down to <strong>Aroy Dee Thai Restaurant</strong> to try it for yourself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I cannot decide between Aroy Dee and <a href="../2011/05/thai-gold-food-sbey-sbey-sunshine-plaza/">Thai Gold Food</a>, so I will probably go to the one which is less crowded.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15631" title="Thai Gold Food Sbey Sbey" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Thai-Gold-Food-Sbey-Sbey.jpg" alt="Thai Gold Food Sbey Sbey" width="550" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sunshine Plaza is a nice place to go if you are looking for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/09/21/singapore-orchard-restaurants/">cheap and good food near Orchard</a></span>. From <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/04/19/best-japanese-restaurant-singapore/">Japanese Food</a> to <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/11/04/victors-kitchen-hong-kong-dim-sum-singapore/">Dim Sum</a>, Wanton Mee and <em>Thai Food</em>, there are so many options to choose from.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thai Gold Food</strong> (formerly known as Sbey Sbey Thai Food) at Sunshine Plaza, is one of those places that serve <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/03/best-thai-restaurants-food-singapore/">affordable Thai Food</a>. We were there for lunch last week, and it was a tough decision between Thai Gold Food and Aroy-Dee Thai Restaurant. We eventually ate at <em>Thai Gold Food</em>, but I went back to Aroy-Dee two days later (that&#8217;s another story for next week).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-15630"></span>Thai Gold Food&#8217;s menu has popular Thai dishes like Mango Salad, Thai Fish Cake, Pineapple Fried Rice, Phat Thai, and Green Curry. Most of the items are reasonably priced below $10 for the small portion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The two of us ordered three dishes to share, and we started with the Green Curry. I always make it a point to order Thai Green Curry ($7) whenever I eat out, so that I can compare it amongst the Thai Restaurants in Singapore. Thai Good Food&#8217;s Green Curry is fairly good, and I like the fact that it comes in a claypot.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15632" title="Thai Mango Salad" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Thai-Mango-Salad.jpg" alt="Thai Mango Salad" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bright and cheerful thing in the picture, is everything a good Thai Mango Salad ($5) should be: slightly sourish and tangy, very refreshing as an appetiser. I had it together with the Phat Thai and they were great!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15633" title="Phat Thai" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Phat-Thai.jpg" alt="Phat Thai" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p>My friend did not like Thai Gold Food&#8217;s Phat Thai ($4) as it was served rather cold. To be fair, I thought it was <em>okay</em>, not great but decent.</p>
<p>Which is better? Thai Gold Food, Aroy-Dee or Ah Loy Thai?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is inevitable that people will make comparisons between Thai Gold Food, Aroy-Dee and <a href="../2011/02/22/ah-loy-thai-best-thai-restaurant-singapore/">Aloy Thai</a> as they are quite similar. For me, <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/02/22/ah-loy-thai-best-thai-restaurant-singapore/">ALoy Thai</a> edges out Thai Gold Food and Aroy Thai in terms of food. But if you are going for dinner, both Thai Food Places at Sunshine Plaza are better options as they operate till <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/02/17/late-night-dining-restaurants-singapore/">late night</a>.</p>

<p>Eat with an open mind, and experience all the wonderful food this world has to offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I haven&#8217;t been to many <strong>Thai Restaurants in Singapore</strong>, so I decided to compile a list of places that I want to visit this year. Be it fine dining Thai restaurants, or eateries that serve cheap and good <em>Thai food</em>, this list will guide you to experience the best <em>Thai Cuisine</em>. <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/04/07/best-buffet-singapore/">Buffet lovers</a> will be happy to know that I have also included options for <em>Thai Buffet in Singapore</em>.</p>
<p>Here is my list of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Best Thai Restaurants in Singapore</span>:</p>

<hr />
<p>Ah Loy Thai at Shaw Leisure Gallery is currently my favourite <strong>Thai restaurant in Singapore</strong>, they serve <em>good Thai food</em> at affordable prices. A must try if you have not been there before.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many options for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Thai Food in Singapore</span>, and <strong>Ah Loy Thai restaurant</strong> is definitely one of the best when it comes to cheap and good Thai Food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though Ah Loy Thai does not have nice ambiance like the other <em>Thai fine dining restaurants</em>, it serves <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/07/16/two-fat-men-singapore-thai-food-east-coast/">good Thai food</a> at very affordable prices. We are talking about $5-10 for most of the items on their menu (plus they don&#8217;t have GST and service charge). The prices here are even cheaper than some of the Thai Eateries at Golden Mile Complex.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-13616"></span>Is a $15 plate of Phat Thai in a <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/06/13/flying-chillies-thai-restaurant-313-somerset/">nice Thai restaurant</a> really three times better than a $5.50 one from A-Roy Thai&#8217;s? No, you are merely paying for the rental, wages, and of course ambiance. In any case, Ah Loy Thai&#8217;s Phad Thai was good, but I preferred the one from <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2011/01/29/diandin-leluk-thai-restaurant-singapore-golden-mile/">Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13618" title="Calamari" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Calamari.jpg" alt="Calamari" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I had wanted to visit <strong>A-roy Thai</strong> for a long time as my friends had been raving about their cheap and good Thai food. One of them repeatedly emphasised that Ah Loy Thai has the best calamari in Singapore. With that in mind, I had to order the Fried Calamari ($6.40) when I was there for lunch recently.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am not sure if it was a case of high expectations, but the calamari did not wow me. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, they were fresh and tasty, but not out-of-this-world good.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13619" title="Thai Fried Rice" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Thai-Fried-Rice.jpg" alt="Thai Fried Rice" width="550" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, I would certainly recommend Ah Loy Thai&#8217;s Pineapple Rice ($5.50). If you are working nearby and want to have a quick lunch, go for the Pad Thai or Pineapple rice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13620" title="Thai Green Curry" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Thai-Green-Curry.jpg" alt="Thai Green Curry" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There were many items that we wanted to order from <strong>Ah Loy Thai Restaurant</strong>&#8216;s menu. It was a tough choice between the Tom Yam Soup, Thai Mango Salad and Green Curry. In the end, we decided to have the Green Curry ($6) and save the other dishes for the next visit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am sure there are many of you who are big fans of A-Roy Thai, but at the same time, this is probably one of the best kept secret restaurants for most people. Ah Loy Thai at Shaw Leisure Gallery is definitely the place if you are looking for a <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/12/06/sweet-salty-spicy-modern-thai-cuisine/">nice Thai Restaurant</a> to satisfy your Pad Thai and Tom Yam Soup cravings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12995" title="Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant Pad Thai" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Diandin-Leluk-Thai-Restaurant-Pad-Thai.jpg" alt="Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant Pad Thai" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Golden Mile Complex</strong> is known as the <em>Little Thailand in Singapore</em>, and I&#8217;ve heard a lot about the Thai Food there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, I have no idea how my craving system operates, but it was calling out for Thai Food that day, so we decided to check out<strong> Dindin Leluk Thai Restaurant</strong> at Golden Mile Complex.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-12993"></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant</span> has a comprehensive menu and it took us a while before ordering the Phat Thai ($4), Thai Mango Salad ($6), and Green Curry Chicken ($10).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I like Pad Thai. Other than the fact that it is a must-order dish whenever I eat in Thai Restaurants, a good Pad Thai is also very tasty and often reminds me of <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/12/18/zion-road-char-kuay-teow/">Char Kway Teow</a>. I know the association doesn&#8217;t make any sense, but it makes me happy just by thinking of Char Kway Teow and Pad Thai.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In any case you are wondering, the Phat Thai from <em>Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant</em> is very good, in fact, I preferred it to the one that I had at <em>Ah Loy Thai</em>. When it comes to Phat Thai, I like it slightly sweet, with a generous helping of raw bean-sprouts and crunchy peanut. With an extra wedge of lime, the Phat Thai is easily one of the most satisfying Thai dishes.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12996" title="Thai Mango Salad" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Thai-Mango-Salad.jpg" alt="Thai Mango Salad" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For starters, we had the <strong>Thai Mango Salad</strong>, which was a very good appetiser with the perfect combination of sweet and sour &#8211; simply addictive, you just can&#8217;t stop eating it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Green-Curry.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12997" title="Green Curry" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Green-Curry.jpg" alt="Green Curry" width="550" height="827" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I normally like Red Curry, but I had a random craving that day, so we opted for Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant&#8217;s Green Curry Chicken instead. The coconut milk taste was very distinctive and rich, but not too overwhelming &#8211; an excellent dish to eat with white rice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thai food</strong> may not be my favourite cuisine since I cannot take spicy food very well, but it really hits the spot with the contrasting flavours. I&#8217;m going to explore more <em>Thai Restaurants in Singapore</em>, so please share with us if you have any recommendations for good Thai food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know Golden Mile Complex may seems a little dodgy, but really the place is very decent. Go with a group of friends and enjoy the Thai cuisine at <strong>Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8370" title="Two Fat Men Fish &amp; Chips" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Two-Fat-Men-Fish-Chips.jpg" alt="Two Fat Men Fish &amp; Chips" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After sharing a nutella tart at <a title="Everything with Fries" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/05/07/everything-with-fries/">Everything with fries</a>, we continued our rendezvous at <a title="The Garden Slug" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/06/02/the-garden-slug/">The Garden Slug</a>, and having desserts at <a title="The Cheesecake Cafe" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/06/04/cheesecake-cafe-singapore-east-coast-road/">The Cheesecake Cafe</a> in the middle of the night never tasted so good. Slurping down <a title="KOI Bubble Tea" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/06/03/koi-cafe-singapore-bubble-tea/">KOI Bubble Tea</a>, checking out a new <a title="yogurt places in Singapore" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/07/10/yogurt-places-singapore/">yogurt place</a> and wandering around Parkway Parade for a  <a title="Ichiban Boshi" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/05/31/ichiban-boshi-singapore-japanese-restaurant/">Sushi high tea</a>; all seems part and parcel of the perfect Saturday. We took everything <a title="With a Pinch of Salt" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/06/08/with-a-pinch-of-salt-cafe-singapore/">With a Pinch of Salt</a> and now I&#8217;m left wondering: what&#8217;s next?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know honey, lets have Thai food tonight! Mmmm, but, but I am craving for a burger too!<strong> Two Fat Men</strong> is a no-frills cafe/bar located at East Coast road which serves Thai street food and Western Bar food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-8373"></span>Actually, I&#8217;m quite hesitant to describe them as a cafe since it isn&#8217;t one technically. Lets try again: Two Fat Men is somewhat like a watering hole set in a <em>kopitiam</em> setting, and interestingly, their menu has both Thai and Western influence.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8371" title="Grilled Pork Neck" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Grilled-Pork-Neck.jpg" alt="Grilled Pork Neck" width="550" height="361" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Grilled Pork Neck</strong> with tamarind spicy sauce ($8.90) was divine. Seriously, that&#8217;s all you need to know. No matter how much I raved about it, no amount of words would do justice to the beautiful and rosy pork neck, with a railway track of proportional fats running along the side of the meat. It was fatty, yet not cloying, luscious and so, so tender!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8372" title="Basil Chicken Fried Rice" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Basil-Chicken-Fried-Rice.jpg" alt="Basil Chicken Fried Rice" width="550" height="341" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The shot of the <strong>Basil Chicken Fried Rice</strong> ($6.50) was less than flattering and all of us were obviously visual creatures when it arrived on the table.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Eh, why did we order the fried rice?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was wrong for us to judge the fried rice by the plain appearance. I&#8217;m quite critical when it comes to fried rice, it&#8217;s either good or bad, no in between. But Two Fat Men&#8217;s Basil chicken fried rice totally won me over. Every Grain of rice seemed to capture the essence of the <em>wok-hei</em>. Honestly, I had no idea how to describe the fried rice &#8211; this was simplicity at its best. I&#8217;d definitely recommend you to try the fried rice and the grilled pork neck at Two Fat Men.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8374" title="Beef Burger" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Beef-Burger.jpg" alt="Beef Burger" width="550" height="364" /></p>
<p>Like what I&#8217;ve mentioned in my <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/07/14/mortons-steakhouse-bar-best-burger-singapore/">previous post</a>, size does matters when it comes to burger.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8381" title="Two Fat Men Burger" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Two-Fat-Men-Burger.jpg" alt="Two Fat Men Burger" width="550" height="831" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this aspect, Two Fat Men didn&#8217;t really meet the requirement. The burger patty was substantial but not filling. My <a title="Singapore Beauty Blog" href="http://dweam.com">dining companion</a> had the <strong>Cajun Chicken Burger</strong> ($6.90) which I felt was better than the Two Fat Men&#8217;s <strong>Beef Burger</strong> ($7.90).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8377" title="Two Fat Men Brats with fries" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Brats-with-fries.jpg" alt="Two Fat Men Brats with fries" width="550" height="832" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After having a &#8216;main course&#8217; each, there were still room in the stomach and we decided to order the <strong>Brats with fries</strong> ($6.90). It was an unfortunate closure for the dinner at Two Fat Men as the sausages and fries were run-of-the-mill.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8383" title="Two Fat Men Singapore" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Two-Fat-Men-Singapore.jpg" alt="Two Fat Men Singapore" width="550" height="412" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Two Fat Men is somewhat like the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/03/19/best-burger-singapore/">Smok&#8217;Inn Frogz Kitchen</a> of the East. Both Aston Specialties and <a title="Everything with Fries" href="../2010/05/07/everything-with-fries/">Everything  with fries</a> are kind of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">over-hyped</span> popular now, if you are looking for <em>cheap and affordable food</em> in the East of Singapore &#8211; I&#8217;d definitely recommend <a title="With a Pinch of Salt" href="../2010/06/08/with-a-pinch-of-salt-cafe-singapore/">With  a Pinch of Salt Cafe</a>, and Two Fat Men. I&#8217;m so coming back again to try the other Thai food!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7681" title="Pad Thai" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Pad-Thai.jpg" alt="Pad Thai" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I like shopping malls. Not just for shopping, but also for the variety of food that comes along with it. With the opening of each new shopping center, there will be so many new restaurants and cafes opening up, and that can only be good news to the Singapore food scene.</p>
<p>With 13 eateries on the <em>Discovery walk</em>way at 313 @ Somerset, and the <em>313 Food hall</em>, there&#8217;s plenty of good food to choose from. <strong>Flying Chillies at 313 @ Somerset</strong> is situated at the prime spot of the discovery walkway when you entered the mall from the Mrt station. From the causal and contemporary decor, there are no hints that Flying Chillies is a Thai restaurant if you do not look at the menu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-7686"></span><strong>Pad Thai</strong> ($12.90) reminds me of the Char kuay teow. There&#8217;s the same ingredients like eggs, kuay teow (rice noodle), beansprouts, involved, but pad thai offers a little more in the form of peanut.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Peanuts give pad thai an additional crunch, and it is to pad thai, like what pork lad is to some char kuay teow. I like my pad thai with lots and lots of crunch peanut, plentiful of beansprouts and a squeeze of the lime to complete the taste.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7682" title="restaurant in 313@somerset" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/restaurant-in-313@somerset.jpg" alt="restaurant in 313@somerset" width="550" height="366" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The other dishes that we ordered were not too bad, but the <strong>Asparagus with prawn and garlic</strong> ($12.90) was downright pathetic. There was hardly any asparagus, plus a few little prawn and that&#8217;s it. Please <em>DO NOT</em> order this if you ever check out <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Flying Chillies Restaurant</span> at 313 @ Somerset.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7683" title="Pandan Leaf Chicken" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Pandan-Leaf-Chicken.jpg" alt="Pandan Leaf Chicken" width="550" height="809" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe it was the pandan leaf, maybe it was the marination, either way the <strong>Pandan Leaf Chicken</strong> ($12.90) didn&#8217;t absorb much fragrance from the pandan leaf. The deep fried chicken was slightly dry, and it was the spicy-sweet Thai sauce that saved it from being a total disaster.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7684" title="Tom Yam Soup" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Tom-Yam-Soup.jpg" alt="Tom Yam Soup" width="550" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tom Yam Soup is the first dish that I will immediately think of when anyone mention about the delicious Thai food. Needless to say, a lot of people have been searching for the <em>best tom yam in Singapore</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But I am not a good judge of <strong>Tom Yam Soup</strong> ($9.90) as I can&#8217;t take spicy food very well. I will sweat like mad even if the tom yam soup isn&#8217;t that well prepared. See that clear soup in the picture? It&#8217;s extremely potent! Taking a small sip of it, I thought that it tasted like ordinary soup initially. Five seconds later, the hot and the sour struck. It came with such intensity that I was caught off-guard and choked. I shouldn&#8217;t be telling you about such embarrassing moments, but you have been warned.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7685" title="flying chillies thai restaurant" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/flying-chillies-thai-restaurant.jpg" alt="flying chillies thai restaurant" width="550" height="394" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The appeal of <strong>Flying Chillies at 313 @ Somerset</strong> will definitely be the prime location at the discovery walkway. Given the fact that thousands of people walk past it everyday, I wouldn&#8217;t write it off completely. If you are a big fan of Thai food, why don&#8217;t you check it out and let us know about your experience there?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_2994.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s always a good thing when visiting another country, especially when you are like me who usually do not research much on the place, to be in the company of fellow food bloggers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I was fortunate to have my <a href="http://grabyourfork.blogspot.com">Sydney</a> <a href="http://www.atablefortwo.com.au/">food</a> <a href="http://www.chocolatesuze.com/">blogger</a> <a href="http://theheartoffood.com/">friends</a> <a href="http://theheartoffood.com/">to</a> <a href="http://citrusandcandy.com/">show</a> <a href="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/">me</a> around, and it was so much fun to hang out with them, everyone connected and soon we were chatting like we&#8217;ve known each other for years. And the food was good of course, no restaurant in their right mind will serve bad food to a group of hungry food bloggers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1912"></span>Without <a href="http://grabyourfork.blogspot.com">Helen&#8217;s</a> arrangement, I probably would never make it to Newtown, an suburb outside the city area, and I must say I&#8217;m glad I did. The place is a charming shopping paradise with the fashionable boutique by day, and when the sun goes down, it instantly transformed into a cool chilled-out area for all the night owls. The restaurant we&#8217;ve dinner was called <em>Rowda Ya Habibi</em>, they served Lebanese cuisine and we sat on the floor on cushions. Other than the exotic Lebanese cuisine, there was also <em>special</em> entertainment in the form of a belly-dancer, she&#8217;d danced around the room and then grab one of us up to dance (or rather move around) with her. Boy, it was hell lot of fun that night!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3025.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The eight of us went for the Extra Special Banquet ($30 per pax) which has a variety of 10 dishes selected by the chef. We began with Hummos, a chicken pea &amp; sesame seed kind of dish that was really quite difficult to describe in terms of taste and appearance. The generous serving of Lebanese bread was somewhat like the Indian Naan, to dip with all kinds of sauces, and to be wrapped with the other sides to eat together.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3043.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I got confused by the Baba Ganooj because it looked so similar to the Hummos, but the main ingredient was smoked eggplant (one of the raw vegetables that I do not eat), and then all was good with the arrival of the fulsome Shish kebab, tender lamb fillets grilled on skewers that were mouth-watering.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3055.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In comparison to the Shish kebab, the Chicken skewers were much more tender, and juicy, and I couldn&#8217;t help stealing a glance around the table to see if there&#8217;s any leftovers. The remaining of the dishes include felafel, a deep-fried vegetarians balls of crushed chick pea (again), beans with spices, ladies finger which bears an uncanny resemblance to the Chinese fried spring roll, only that this one was filled with meat, onions and pine nuts.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3107.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Five minutes after we stepped out of the Lebanese restaurant, we headed further down the street for round 2 &#8211; ice cream! A few of the others unanimously agreed that <em>Gelatomassi</em> has the best (read: number one, top of the world, absolutely unbeatable) pistachio ice cream, and after trying it, I must say I agree with their <em>judgment</em> &#8211; it&#8217;s definitely by far one of the best green-nut ice cream that I&#8217;ve had before. The distinct pistachio nut taste would drive any fans of the green-nut crazy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve the ferrero roche flavour, which seemed tame after I tried the pistachio; it lacked the crunchy bite and wasn&#8217;t <em>ferrero roche</em> enough. Most of the folks didn&#8217;t like the lemon sorbet as they found it to be too sourish, but I on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed the citrus sting. The other flavours we&#8217;d include chocolate cake, peanut, and strawberry.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3118.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Are we done? No, not yet, we went to another place in the Darlinghurst area called <em>Messina</em> for even more ice cream! Madness isn&#8217;t it? But that&#8217;s what happen when a group of food bloggers hang out together. The coconut lychee was a big hit here, but since I&#8217;m neither a fan of coconut nor lychee, it didn&#8217;t appeal to me. In addition, the second scoop was tiramisu which was pretty decent.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3122.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Afterwhich, the group of us went across the street to another place for frozen yogurt. It&#8217;s probably not the most sensible thing to do in the middle of a chilling night, but yet there&#8217;s nothing better than to sit out there in the cold weather while having ice cream and frozen yogurt.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Sydney/Cafe/DSC_3148.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Where are we going next?&#8217; This simple question brought us to our fifth and final stop for the night, the very popular <em>Chat Thai</em>, in Chinatown. It was already midnight by the time we arrived at the place, and there&#8217;s still a long queue outside waiting to get in. No one could possibly miss out on Pad thai when in a Thai restaurant, so we had one to share. Just like the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/12/06/sweet-salty-spicy-modern-thai-cuisine/">recent one that I&#8217;ve before I left for Sydney</a>, it was sweet, not spicy at all, and the rice noodles were considerately thinner. I&#8217;d like my Pad thai to have lots of raw beansprouts and eggs, however Chat Thai&#8217;s rendition did not have enough of both to satisfy me.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>Just in case you are wondering, yes we covered all these places within one night. This is the second part of my Twelve days in Sydney series, to be continued . . .</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The irony of staying in the west is that I always tend to travel further away from the west for food. They call this <em>the-grass-greener-on-the-other-side</em> theory. Sweet Salty Spicy at the railmall is just five minutes away from my place, but I have never visit it until now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1811"></span>The <strong>Miang of prawns &amp; pomelo</strong> ($3.5 per portion) marks the start of our Thai dinner. The correct method of eating this is to roll up the betel leaves with all the fillings within, and eat it in one mouth &#8211; or at least that&#8217;s how I ate it.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2373.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If there is a perfect appetizer, it will surely be the <strong>Salad of green mango</strong> with crispy salmon ($9). Spicy, sour, and refreshing &#8211; it has everything you can ask.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And other than the mango salad, the <strong>Hot &amp; sour tom yum soup</strong> ($12) is definitely the other classic representative of Thai cuisine. On the surface, the slightly-marred soup appeared to be harmless, but the first slurp hit me in an instant and I was already grasping for water.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2366.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We thoroughly enjoyed the <strong>Traditional Thai fish cakes</strong> ($8 for 4 piece) that came with the sweet spicy dipping sauce. The fish cake was good, but it was the sauce that made it even better.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2382.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From the <em>Wok</em> menu, the <strong>Crispy Pork knuckle</strong> ($10) caught our eyes immediately. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I like pork a lot, and this certainly works for me. The others like to have it with the spicy <em>nahm prik</em> relish, but I prefer to have it on its own.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2384.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let&#8217;s be honest: what&#8217;s there not to like about the tender <strong>Pork collar</strong> ($14)? They were more delicate and fragile than the pork knuckle, but they were <span>delicious</span>. They were slightly crisp on the outside, just as I wanted, and the meat was so tender and soft. It was a very close replication of roasted pork, not as crispy, but in some ways, I liked it even better. So I finished everything on my own. And my conclusion: these were keepers.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2403.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I was pretty skeptical when we ordered the <strong>Angus Beef cheek with flat rice noodle</strong> ($16), I mean this is Angus beef cheek that we are talking about and they probably will just give a tiny winy piece of meat with lots of noodles. But the result, as you can see in the picture, was a huge serving of the most flavorful and tender of tamarind glazed Angus beef cheek in the fragrant ginger broth. We didn&#8217;t manage to finish the flat rice noodle since we were saving our stomach for the other dishes, but if you ever come here; trust me, you will want to finish this bowl of noodle.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2411.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sweet Salty Spicy has five curries in their menu, and we had the <strong>Curry Triplets</strong> ($24 for 4 person) that allowed us to choose three out of the five. There was the Jungle curry of scallops and prawns, Panang curry of Angus beef in addition to the Mussaman curry of chicken, Green curry of baby snapper and roast duck red curry that we had.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Talking about curry, my favorite will definitely be curry fishhead, but unfortunately they did not have it here. The Mussaman curry of chicken was passable, while the others like the snapper curry. I don&#8217;t know about you, but somehow green curry is a turn-off for me; it reminds me of the puke when you are overdosed with liquor from a boys/girls night out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If I have to choose my favorite, it will be the roast duck red curry. I always have a fetish for roast duck, so it&#8217;s a fascination how they manage to blend the taste of the tasty roast duck and curry together. It was a little on the sweet side, from the addition of grapes and fruits to cook with the curry.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2416.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I always remember about the Pad Thai that I had in Phuket. In retrospect, it seems funny that I should say that, since I can&#8217;t <em>hold my chili</em> very well. But Sweet Spicy Salty&#8217;s rendition of the <strong>Pad Thai</strong> ($12) was not spicy at all, I&#8217;m not sure if all Pad Thais are not supposed to be spicy, but the one that I had back then was definitely hot and fiery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In fact, I like the localized version better, it was somewhat sweet and the stir-fried Thai rice noodle was very fragrant. The addition of peanut added crunch to it, but it would be even better if they&#8217;ve threw in more beansprouts.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2421.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I like prawns. And so it make sense to order the <strong>Jumbo prawns</strong> ($4.50 each). But there&#8217;s a snag, the de-prawning is always an issue for a lazy bum like me, and luckily they shelved it for us. We also ordered the <strong>Grilled squid</strong> ($12) that had the same marination as the prawns: the taste was pretty run-of-the-mill.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2435.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite hearing horror stories on the possibilities of the ways they treated <strong>Soft-shell crabs</strong> ($13) to make it soft, we went ahead and order it. Often, it&#8217;s the dressing that makes the dish taste better, there wasn&#8217;t any spectacular about the soft shell crabs, wellt hey were crispy, and eh, soft, but it was the the chili jam &amp; lemongrass dressing that enhanced the taste.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2453.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At this point of time, our stomachs were already quite full, but when the staff told us there&#8217;s a signature dish that we did not order; we were greedy and went for the <strong>Deep fried silken tofu</strong> ($18). It was a pretty high price to pay given that it&#8217;s only fried tofu stuffed with minimum crab and maximum minced pork. The sauce was good though, but the price tag doesn&#8217;t justify for tofu.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2462.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The only reason why we made some last minute orders like the soft shell crabs and tofu was because we thought there wasn&#8217;t any desserts available. So it came as a surprise to us when they showed us the separate dessert menu, and boy I was excited when I saw the long list of selections they had. And it was even better when I found out that the desserts are made in-house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We were debating over the white layer in the <strong>Devil&#8217;s chocolate cake</strong> ($8), the menu wrote raspberry ripple so we tasted the layer on its own and tried to convince ourselves it was raspberry. But it was actually mascarpone cream cheese, if you looked closely &#8211; the raspberry ripple is a thin layer in between of the cream cheese and the chocolate cake, which explains the reason for the pinkish tinge in the cream cheese. The chocolate cake was a little dry, and personally I felt that cream cheese does not goes well with chocolate cake.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2480.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes luck is very important when it comes to food. You may be scarred by a bad experience and refuse to try a particular dish just because it was bad during the first time you had it. Well, my previous and only encounter with the <strong>Sticky Date pudding</strong> ($6) wasn&#8217;t <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/04/08/marmalade-pantry-after-desserts/">exactly memorable</a>, but I decided to give it another shot. The problem arises when I do not know how a good sticky date pudding taste like, so there&#8217;s no comparison. The one here was fairly competent, it was very <em>date-ish</em>, if there&#8217;s such a word, and it would be better if there&#8217;s a scoop of cold ice cream to go along with.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Sweet%20Spicy%20Salty/DSC_2491.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All the citrus <em>junkies</em> will absolutely go crazy over this <strong>Lemon &amp; wine tart</strong> ($7). With the strong and distinct lemon taste lingering on the tongue, the crispy tart crust goes crunch, crunch in your mouth.</p>
<p>* * *</p>

<p><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/category/lic-food-event/">This</a>, was suppose to be done in July, somehow it was dragged till August, but it&#8217;s better to be late than never. And like everytime, I had lots of fun chatting with everybody, it&#8217;s very interesting to finally meet all the folks who have been quietly reading my blog for the longest time. From online to offline, now I can put a picture to your nick.</p>
<p><span id="more-578"></span> And I believe there is a common misunderstanding: everybody who attend the food outing <strong>does not</strong> know everybody. In fact there&#8217;s a lot of first-timers at each outing, who in turn become my regulars. Only I know everybody, so please don&#8217;t be afraid to come for my outing, I won&#8217;t bite. Thank you for those who made it to Limon, and I hope to see the rest of you at my next outing, which will be very soon (finger cross).</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t say anything about the food, my outings are never just about the food; it&#8217;s about the fun, it&#8217;s the company and friends that you make over food. In any case if you want to know more about what we had, you can read the detailed <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/07/31/limon-spaniards-thais-come-together/">write-up</a> of our <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/07/31/lic-food-event-limon/">menu</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2159.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In life we have dreams; they are our goals to work towards to, one step by one step, and approached it. I&#8217;ve always wanted to visit Spain; the country, with its rich culture and vibrant cities appeal to me, and of course, Spanish food.</p>
<p><span id="more-566"></span>I simply love the idea of <em>Tapas</em>; the option of having more variety of food in smaller bite sizes, seduces me. Why have two dishes when we can have four? And so our Spanish adventure started with the <strong>Plamuk tod </strong>($12), tempura style calamari rings. Limon did a thinner version using less batter which allowed the taste of the squid. But the amazing thing was the strawberry yoghurt dip which came along with the calamari!</p>
<p>Tartar sauce? That&#8217;s so last season. Mayonnaise? That&#8217;s so passe. Try strawberry yoghurt dip!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2163.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><em>Tapas</em> has many similarities with our Chinese <em>Dim sum</em>; it&#8217;s the communal way of sharing food. Both encouraged people to try out more varieties, and at the same time shared the food with others. The <strong>Patatas bravas</strong> ($10) was essentially Spanish fried potatoes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2165.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><em>A little bit of this, plus a little bit of that</em></p>
<p>No I&#8217;m not talking about our saliva! We get to share food and try a bit of everything without getting full, isn&#8217;t that a brillient idea? There&#8217;s no beef in the <strong>Moo curry</strong> ($12), instead there was pork &amp; potato cubes pan-fried, with the red curry sauce being a tad strong.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2168.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><em>How come the sausage tasted like brinjar? </em></p>
<p>It was hilarious when we mistook the eggplant for sausages at first bite, I&#8217;m never a fan of the purple plant. The <em>fusion</em> aspect was on display by preparing the Spanish Bibao (sausages) with Thai green curry sauce. <strong>Chorizo con curry verde </strong>($14)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2171.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><em>Honey, they shrunk the prawns! </em></p>
<p>I was sceptical when the &#8220;king prawns&#8221; that they&#8217;d mentioned was so tiny, but for what was lacking in size, the prawns more than made up in taste. The &#8220;tiny&#8221; creature was so prawny and crunchy! With ingredients like olive oil, lemongrass, black pepper, garlic, nameko mushroom; it was a mixture of flavours.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2175.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The <strong>Gazpacho con vino blanco</strong> ($12) was a traditional Spanish cold soup, with the novelty level upped by serving it in a baby coconut husk. The white wine flavour was subtle, but the experience of drinking soup was redefined into drinking coconut!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2176.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Tom-kha Guy</strong> ($10)</p>
<p>Besides the &#8220;coconut soup&#8221;, Limon has a few other soup available for selection, and you know I never like such soups, so use your own imagination how it would taste like.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2182.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Pumpkin fusion soup with strips of Serrano ham</strong> ($13)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2184.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Tomato, Orange and lemon soup</strong> ($10)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2192.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Paella. This was THE dish besides <em>churros</em> that I was looking forward to. And I had problem pronouncing it the whole night, so I came up with a simple way of remembering it, paella (my own pronunciation: <em>Pie-ya</em>). It was done with a Thai twist; incorporating tom-yum with the Spanish paella, there was plentiful of mixed seafood. It was delicious, every grain of rice tasted so good. Since I did not have paella before, there was no way I could make comparison, but it was good enough for me. And the tom-yum flavour wasn&#8217;t even strong (at least to me). <strong>Paella de tom yum</strong> ($20 for main size)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2198.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><em>You like fish? </em></p>
<p>You will definitely love the <strong>Bacalao</strong> ($36)! The blue cod fillet was so fresh that it seemed alive on my plate, but I would prefer it to be slightly more pan-fried on the surface. Every piece of flesh was so delicate when our utensils touch it, oh baby, I&#8217;m gonna eat you up!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The <strong>lomo de cordero</strong> ($35) was a perfect sight to behold. There&#8217;s something about the Rack of lamb, which always make it so sexy! But somehow the ingredients like rosemary, oregano, mint, white wine, lemongrass sauce did not manage to cover the gamey taste.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2206.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Lobster, I love lobster! And I&#8217;m not going to share with you. No, get your hands off, it&#8217;s mine, it&#8217;s all mine! I was freaking excited when the <strong>Live lobster krapow</strong> ($38) arrived on our table. Every bite of the oven-baked lobster was so good, but there wasn&#8217;t enough meat for me! Taking a fork, I tilted the lobster head upside down, and dug at the shell beneath it, and yes, there was more lobster meat there!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2214.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>On first look, I thought it was panna cotta, the Italian dessert. But it wasn&#8217;t. The dessert in picture was a <strong>Lemon caramel egg custard flan</strong> ($10). The texture was very similar to panna cotta, but I couldn&#8217;t quite figure out what was the difference.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2208.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>And yes, I know chocolate cake has nothing to do with Spanish or Thai, but apparently the pastry chef at Limon does such a good chocolate cake that they decided to put it in the menu. And boy, it was true. The <strong>Homemade Chocolate cake</strong> ($9) paired with vanilla ice cream was a delight! If you could look at the plain chocolate cake up there, there&#8217;s the lava-flowing chocolate on top of the moist chocolate cake. Even though it was a pity there wasn&#8217;t any vanilla bean ice cream, but a scoop of cold icy one was enough to bring out the best of the chocolate cake.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Limon/DSC_2216.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I love to share food. But somehow the evil twin in me took over when we had the <strong>Crema Catalana con frescas</strong> ($10). There are times where you eat something that was so good, yet you couldn&#8217;t tell what it was, so you just ate, and ate, and ate. This was what I did, I took a spoonful of the egg based cream, put it in my mouth, and I couldn&#8217;t taste what it was. And the second bite became even better. So I simply took up the whole glass, dug, and dug further into, until the whole dessert was finished.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>It was a medley of flavours when the Spaniards and the Thais come and play together. This was my first time trying Paella, and I&#8217;m glad I tried it! My appreciation to <em>Towie</em>, the owner of Limon, and <em>Nicole</em> for hosting us for the <strong>food tasting session</strong>.</p>
<p>And now for the good/great/terrific/fantastic news, I&#8217;ll be doing a <strong>food outing event</strong> (yes finally), at Limon on the 10th August for dinner. It would be a public holiday so I hope to see all of you there. The details of the outing will be in my next post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0851.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><em>Sawatdee Khrab</em>, welcome to the land of smiles. We sailed the seven ocean, and land ahoy at <em>Phuket</em>, the southern tip of the land of smiles; where there are no land boundaries. The beautiful beaches, the awesome weather, the sporty sea activites, oh I heard so much about <em>you</em>.</p>
<p><span id="more-547"></span>The poor people, whom we grieved for during the tragedy that happened a few years back; the beaches were ruined, the folks homeless, the kids without food. They are back, slowly but surely, the glory days; the tourists flocked back, the economy picked up and the people are getting back their better life. I&#8217;m glad.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0848.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The touts and the trout. I always see this as the touts fishing for their trout, after all, it takes two hands to clap; I swindled on you, and of course you are willing to be tricked by me. <em>Two thousand baht</em>! It was the first offer we got, as we walked further away, so did the numbers slowly decreased. Our final bargain, take <em>eight hundred</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0855.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Cashew nuts are apparently one of the famous products there, our first stop was inevitably the cashew factories. And they have it in all kinds of flavours; chilli, honey, sugar &#8211; you named it, they got it. We also picked up some pork floss; they are so good that you can eat them on its own. <em>Cliché</em>, but true.</p>
<p>They were gifts for others, we take some, and we give some. That&#8217;s the beauty of local products, people always buy them, as gifts for family, friends and neighbours.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0880.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I wanted to try the authentic <em>Thai</em> food, eat what the <em>Thais</em> eat. And where better than to sit by the roadside stalls at the night market, sipping a bowl of tom yum soup. It was hot, and I&#8217;m not those who could <em>hold their chilli</em>, so the sweat glands started to work as I took a sip, and another mouthful of the delightful-spicy soup. Lots of seafood inside the tom yum soup with a sour twist.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0869.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The de-constructed oyster omelette. It was definitely a oyster dish, judging from the numbers of the shellfish present on plate. Instead of frying and mixing everything together, they did it the de-constructed way. And there was lots of fried bean sprouts too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0871.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I smelled it from far away &#8211; what&#8217;s that stuff floating in the air that was so good to the nose? It was <em>Pad thai</em>, their version of our <em>char kuay teow</em>. You couldn&#8217;t imagine my delight, finding my favourite food in a foreign land. And the best part was they threw in lots of bean sprouts, our locals one always seemed to scrimp on the cheap bean sprouts. It was good, we finished it almost in a blink.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0876.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>If you need to know more about my taste bud, I love sweet &amp; sour pork, that&#8217;s like my all time favourite zi-char dish. So here I&#8217;m, looking for a <em>Thai</em> rendition. Well it wasn&#8217;t what I was expecting, you know not those crispy fried pork coated in bright red tomato sauce. But the pork was still tenderly soft, and this plate was just <em>40 Thai baht</em>. Cheap!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0887.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>After the fix of the local Thai food, surprisingly, the famous king of burgers, the <em>Ramly</em> <em>burger</em> caught my eyes. They did it differently here, lots of lettuces, and cucumber too! There was however, no eggs, which I wasn&#8217;t sure whether was it because I didn&#8217;t tell them to do an egg special, or they never had it served with eggs in the first place. Either way, the best part about the <em>ramly burger</em> was definitely the sauce; drizzled with lots of mayonnaise, chilli and barbecued sauce, awesome!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/The%20city%20kid/DSC_0890.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Under the dim flimsy light, we went behind the thin veil for our secret rendezvous. I was a little nervous to be honest, but you were experienced and started slowly. <em>Harder, harder</em>, I urged you on. <em>Deeper, deeper</em>, you thrust into. Oh, surely, this was one of the greatest pleasure in the world. I never knew such joy like this, before. And now I&#8217;m hooked.</p>

<p><strong>Joe&#8217;s kitchen</strong> may look ordinary on the outside, or even you might totally missed it when you passed by the place at its location at Bukit Merah, just directly opposite <strong>Alexander Hospital</strong>. I did. Having passed by the area a few times, i didn&#8217;t know there was this hidden gem offering authentic thai food experience in our midst of our heartland.</p>
<p>I was given this opportunity for the wonderful Makan experience organized by <strong>Leslie</strong> of <a href="http://ieatishootipost.sg/">ieatishootipost</a> fame. A total of 47 food punters joined us on this occasion. Some of which were ieat&#8217;s old makan kakis, while many like me were first-timers joining ieat on his makan session.</p>
<p><span id="more-275"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6259.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The interior of the place was simple, the place wasn&#8217;t very big but it managed to squeeze all 47 of us inside the place. I wondered how all of us managed to eat inside that night. Miracle!</p>
<p>The event was supposed to start at 7pm, i got there around 645pm and there were people there already. Damien was the co-organizer for the outing. Jiawei and Shanice were the earliest there if i&#8217;m not wrong, i seated in the same table with them. Also on the same table as me were liverpool, eastcoastlife &amp; hubby, yanti &amp; friend. All of us had a wonderful time chatting taking photos, and savouring the food.</p>
<p>The crowd starts to come in and by around 740pm or thereabouts almost everyone arrived. The menu was to be 14 dishes including some starters, mains, and desserts. All the dishes came in sampling tasting size so that we can have a bit of everything. The female boss, Jamie (chef Joe&#8217;s wife) is friendly and attended to us warmly.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6267.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Crispy rice cake</p>
<p>The Kao Dang Na Dang help to kick-start our makan session. Not commonly found in Singapore. the <strong>cripsy rice cake</strong>, was supposed to go together with the peanut sauce. I didn&#8217;t quite enjoy this appetizer as i found it to be way too dry for my liking.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6275.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Prawn Cakes</p>
<p>The Thot Man Goong or <strong>Prawn Cakes</strong> was nice to eat, it was crispy and the prawn taste is just right.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6277.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Green Papaya Salad</p>
<p>The Som Tum or <strong>Green Papaya Salad</strong> is one the appetizer dish that you will not be surprised to find in a Thai restaurant. No doubt about it, th salad is packed with everything. The first taste of it, refreshing. The initial impression was its not as spicy as i thought. But the magical part of it was the longer it gets, the spicier it became. A few more bites and the mango salad got to its &#8220;full level&#8221;</p>
<p>As most of us waited quite long for everyone to turn up before the dishes to serve, by the time the mango salad came out everybody were famished. We literally &#8220;attacked&#8221; the salad, and it was until ieat told us to hold our horses, that the salad was supposed to eat together with the sticky rice and chicken which were not out yet then we realized that.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6285.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Gai Yang (Grilled Chicken)</p>
<p>The <strong>grilled chicken</strong> was quite good to be honest, everyone got a bite of it. Placing the papaya salad and the chicken onto the sticky rice, the taste is very different from eating the three dishes separately.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6286.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Grilled Pork Collar</p>
<p>This was no doubt for me, the star of the show! The Khaw Mu Yang, or <strong>grilled pork collar</strong> was somewhat similar to our Chinese char siew, albeit Thai style. Many of the kakis found it to be good too! Its also commonly eaten together with the sticky rice and papaya salad. But its so good that we eat it on its own.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6289.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Tom Yum soup with fried fish</p>
<p>In my personal opinion, how good a Thai restaurant is can be based on the test of their Tom Yum soup. Unquestionably. Tom Yum soup is the first thing that most people will think of when they think of Thai food. Well i say the <strong>Tom Yum soup</strong> by Chef Joe should passed with flying colours. The soup is really spicy, at least from my perspective. Dipping the crispy fried fish into the soup was quite a experience for me.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6292.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Green curry beef</p>
<p>The beef was tender, and immersed with the essence of the <strong>green curry</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6294.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Deep fried Grouper with Thai chili</p>
<p>The Thai chili was excellent here, real hot and a little sweet spicy. But i couldn&#8217;t help drinking more water so as to have a few more mouthful of the chili with the <strong>deep fried grouper</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6296.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Red Curry Roasted Duck</p>
<p>Having seen the green curry earlier, my first thought was red curry after green? This was followed by <strong>roasted duck curry</strong>? I have never heard of roasted duck curry, let alone tasting it. But this dish was really not bad, i&#8217;m not sure how the roasted duck came about, whether Chef Joe roasted the duck, or he brought it from elsewhere and cook it with the red curry, but nevertheless its good.</p>
<p>And to our astonishment, there were grapes, yes grapes inside the curry! Talk about surprise, first roasted duck in curry, then grapes?</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6298.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Basil leave minced pork</p>
<p>I was never a fan of <strong>minced pork</strong> in the first place, n&#8217;uff said!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6300.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Claypot Crab Vermicelli with fatty pork</p>
<p>Although the <strong>claypot crab</strong> was suppose to be the highlight here, but we got into eating the vermicelli instead. After cooking, the essence of the crab and fatty pork all went into the vermicelli, that alone should suffice for eating the vermicelli.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6301.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Poom Fy Dang &#8211; Kang Kong Thai style</p>
<p>Like all the other dishes in Joe&#8217;s Kitchen, the first taste was not very spicy, but the second bite was real hot. The <strong>Kang Kong</strong> got hotter with each bite, i suggested just swallow the veggies!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6302.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Mango Stick rice</p>
<p>To round off our authentic Thai food experience, we had <strong>Mango sticky rice</strong>, the mango was real sweet!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/joe%20kitchen/IMG_6306.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Tapioca with Coconut milk</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t like <strong>tapioca</strong>, so this dish was not to my taste bud</p>
<p><strong>Total Bill</strong> was $1646 for 47 people, $35 per head for the Authentic Thai food experience at Chef Joe&#8217;s place. I love going to Makan outings with big groups because we can get to know more people. Think Yebber Party @ MINT where there were about 50 people, the Social Media Breakfast with around 40 odds people, and now this ieat makan outing with 47 people.</p>
<p>Credits to <strong>Leslie</strong> (ieat) and Damien whom organized this makan session for everyone to get together and enjoyed food. I looked forward to the many more outings organized by them, to meet more people and eat more food!</p>
<p>The beauty of food, it can bring everyone from all ages, different backgrounds together, for one common purpose that is to savour all the good food. How often do you see strangers getting together and seating down for a meal? I&#8217;m going to organised <strong>LIC food event</strong> soon, do watch out for the post!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmm.. Went to Bugis for <em>Ddrawers </em>first offical meeting with tay xuan. Don&#8217;t know what to eat, so after walking around for a while, we saw siam kitchen was having a eat-all-you-can lunch buffet for $14.90, 14 dishes to choose from, add $1.99 for your free-flow of iced lemon tea. Mr tay was keen to try and besides nothing much to choose from, so here we go.</p>
<p><a href="http://ladyironchef.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/img_0916.jpg" title="img_0916.jpg"></a></p>
<p>The menu (picture removed) is basically what is available in the &#8220;buffet&#8221;, actually i dun really think it is a &#8220;buffet&#8221;. Definition of buffet, courtesy from wikipedia: A <strong>buffet</strong> is a meal-serving system where patrons serve themselves. It is a popular method of feeding large numbers of people with minimal staff. So you have it, we certainly didn&#8217;t serve ourselve by getting the food from the usual-buffet-style, instead we choose from the menu the 14 dishes. The first round they gave us all to test-test, so after that we can ordered what we like for our &#8220;second round&#8221;. This supposely is not to waste food.</p>
<p><a href="http://ladyironchef.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/img_0915.jpg" title="img_0915.jpg"><img width="464" src="http://ladyironchef.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/img_0915.jpg" alt="img_0915.jpg" height="352" style="width: 464px; height: 352px" /></a></p>
<p>Well well, the 14 dishes but hold on a sec, i think there is onli 13. O well, they must have somehow missed out one dish. The food was so-so, serving was for two person because the restaurant was afraid we &#8220;wasted&#8221;food, they say we can always ordered in the second round if we liked the food.</p>
<p>Lets see, the dishes that i notably still remember; the lemongrass chicken wing was okay i guess, as for the spicy thai vegetable pickles i found it rather refreshing. Omelette with onion was fine but they came in two small slices. Kangkong with chili was not hot at all, pineapple fried rice does not have any pineapple but still taste quite nice all the same.</p>
<p>As for the rest of the dishes, you have to try it for yrself as i can&#8217;t remember, or rather i only have a bite of them. Although the food i did not enjoy, but the service in the restaurant was good, the staff was quite attentive and they re-filled our free flow ice lemon tea very fast, we had about 7-8 glass i think.</p>
<p>Conclusion of meal, thai food is not for me, or rather i am not for thai food.</p>
