Summary: I picked the place based on 'smiley face' reviews, and the photos (the dishes do look very legit on photo). However, the food doesn't taste that authentic (they're all a bit off), but what made me give the 'sad face' is due to price/portion. I travel all the way to Kowloon City for authentic and reasonable-price Thai food.The Goods: The food do look as it suppose to be, and is well presented. The restaurant's fit out is ok, although a bit tight.The Bads: I really do think it doesn't tas
The Goods: The food do look as it suppose to be, and is well presented. The restaurant's fit out is ok, although a bit tight.
The Bads: I really do think it doesn't taste that authentic. In all fairness, it passes as Thai food but a not-so-tasty one that is. What really gave it away for me is the price. For example, the Tom Yum Gung only has one shrimp in the entire dish.
Damage: The two of us ordered 4 dishes, no drinks, and it came up to HKD361 (incl 10% SC), that's HKD180 per person. We originally ordered 4 dishes because I want to try different stuffs and take left over home, but portion is small enough we can finish all. We also didn't order any expensive stuffs (which are more expansive). There is also no lunch set/deal at this restaurant.
When we arrived (around 2pm) there were some people waiting outside, which is a good sign for me (still people queuing that late). We got the table almost right away because the queue is for 3 person's table (we were only 2). The fit out is good, but tables are a bit packed together, but fit-out is always not a point for me. The waitresses are polite, but none of them speak Thai. That's also ok IF the food is authentic. We didn't order any drinks because I always think drinks are a rip-off in restaurant. Normally if we don't order special drink, other restaurant will offer tap water almost automatically, but they didn't. I think they will give us some water if we ask (as I see at other tables). That's still ok, but it took 1 mark off service.
What we orderedWe ordered all items from the main menu since it has no lunch set. As mentioned above, we ordered 4 dishes because I want to try more things and can take left overs back home (I even brought food containers). As it turns out, we finished all of it because portion isn't that big; we were just about full and I think most people will think the same.
The first dish to arrive is #308 Baked Fried Rice in Fresh Pineapple (ข้าวผัดสัปปะรด) at HKD82 (+10%). It was very fast and took less than 5 minutes which made me think they pre-fried the rice in bulk. As a cheapskate who buys a lot of premade meals (because it's cheap), I'm ok with the approach but would rather expect otherwise in a restaurant. The result is that it doesn't have the nice wok hei for fried rice, and the rice is slightly wet (a problem with pineapple in it). The first thing we noticed is the stronger than usual turmeric smell. The actual dish does use turmeric for the colour, but it's usually negligible. What comes after is quite bland, not enough saltiness and sweetness (in this dish usually from pineapple - but pineapples are cut in big pieces so it doesn't have the chance to incorporate into the dish). The meats that come with it consist of Chinese sausages, shrimp, mussel, and squid. They're not that fresh (judging from mushy-ish texture) and very little meat (2 small shrimp, 1 mussel, 2 pieces of squid, and a few tiny pieces of sausages). I've been complaining a lot, but it still tastes not bad, but not good either. Would definitely not recommend.
