We were halfway through our grocery shopping in Graham Street when the hunger pang struck (how is it possible when we've just overfed overselves over Christmas?), so we racked our brains to think of a decent Thai place nearby, and decided to come here for a bit of people watching on the escalator as well. Free entertainment, why not.
The place had 2 other groups of diners, so it was nice and peaceful. A window seat for us so we can clock people who went by, and we scanned the lunch set menu. Boyfriend ordered the fried flat noodles with chicken in chilli which comes with a small tom yum soup and coconut sago pudding, and I ordered a tummy-warming tom yum soup with 金邊粉, which also came with dessert. For $76 and $68 respectively, it wasn't the cheapest, but then we're talking Central prime location. Add $10 for the special drinks, otherwise it's plain coffee or tea. For us, that's a no brainer. Lime soda for him, Longan drink for me.
The tom yum was the best part of the meal, one of the better versions I've had that packs in a punch. The sourness hits your first, and afterwards you appreciate the heat from the spice coming out and tickling your taste buds. Not hot enough to make me tear, but enough to satisfy that craving for spiciness. There were 4 or 5 prawns in there, with 2 kinds of mushrooms (Chinese variety, but it's good to make use of local ingredients), and lots of real ginger, lemongrass, cilantro and other spices. I especially liked that it wasn't too oily, as sometimes the cook skimps on the herbs and just substitute chilli oil for the taste, which doesn't work. The fried noodles were so so, a bit greasy and gooey by the look of it, and not enough noodles to balance the dish, but you can look at it the other way and say there was lots of veg and chicken pieces. The drinks were average, and I suspect the use of fancy glasses means they don't have to give you as much as in a regular tall glass. At least they had the decency not to pack in the ice. Dessert was coconut sago pudding SANS sweetcorn which pleased my boyfriend (he vows sweetcorn does not have a place in any form of dessert, it's just inappropriate).

Service was prompt and polite, and the bill came to $180 for a very filling meal. A good start to the year of more food and blogging.
。走進這個泰國野。由於颱風過後的關係，這一天下著雨，無太多人亦唔洗等位。我叫了泰式豬頸肉冬蔭功金邊粉，湯底是非常好的，我非常喜歡它。有點辣同很rich。麵條也煮得好好，唔會太淋。份量是幾大的我什至不能食晒。豬頸肉也燒得非常好，具有良好的調味
。我很驚訝無啦啦比我搵到一間quality唔錯和環境舒服的餐廳。我會再來，試試其他野食。
朋友请我吃饭，约了在泰殿吃。很久之前好像来过，可以再试试看。我点了午餐(1) 泰式海南鸡饭，还有什么鱼羹汤送甜品，另外再加了一杯泰国奶茶。 先说说个饭吧！油饭还可以，不太油，饭也挺弹牙但是鸡呢，就真的差了一点！鸡皮很多也很肥而鸡肉有点“老”。给鸡的酱油也太少了！要赞的是饭的旁边还有菜，不错！真的很少会有这么多菜！ 个汤有点怪，因为是甜的（不是好像糖水那么甜）- 有点姜味，也有甜味。料很多-有鸡肉，冬菇，鱼肚等等。味道怪怪的，不好喝。 Thai iced tea 还算是ok，很久没喝了，所以觉得味道不错...
