Menu/placemat - for some reason that asian boy on the menu reminds me of instant noodles.
We sat around the bar area where they cooked. We ordered 2 entree and 2 mains, we were overly ambitious lol
Chicken wings with chilli & corriander - B loved this. He said next time we go back, we will definitely reorder this dish.
Spicy corn & coriander fritter - B also loved this lol In fact anything that is fried he loves. I didn't even know what a fritter was before eating this dish lol.
You wrap the fritter thing in the lettuce and gobble it up.
Tom Yum - Hot & Sour - There is some kinda leaf in there that made it really spicy, I drank like 2 glasses of water straight and I had beads of sweat on my forehead. I can't handle spicy food (yes an Asian who can't handle spicy food, you heard it correctly...shameful but true).
Twice cooked beef ribs- This was yummo, the beef melts in your mouth - a little sweet but tasty.
Even though the restaurant was busy, the waitors/waitresses were really efficient and friendly. They constantly went around filling up people's glasses with water and were readily available if you needed anything. I was told that because we didn't have room in our stomach to eat dessert, we missed out big time. Sis recommends the ice cream with the salted honeycomb. I was on urban spoon the other night and this place was #1 on 'Talk of the Town', pretty amazing!
I LOVE chin chin but yeah, the queues are pretty insane. :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried that dessert and it's amazing! Yum, thinking about it is making me feel hungry. :)

Yumm! Everything looks so good! I've never had Thai food...I don't know if I'd like it though, because I can't really handle spicy foods. 1.5 hour wait is insane though - that place must be really popular :)
ReplyDeleteMmm that looks yummy!! xx
ReplyDeleteAaaahhh why did I read this right before lunch? Gimme gimme gimme.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Thai food! We're drooling just reading your post! Tom yum does take a while to get used to, but no matter how spicy it is, we soldier on and finish everything because it's so good!

ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious! wow, it must have been very spicy. I'm curious what the leaf was that made the soup so spicy, hehe. I love Thai food and now I can't wait to eat some! You had quite a long wait, I hope that the next time you go you won't have to wait so long. =)
