Siam Kitchen @ Suntec City pt. 2

As I've said, all of us really hemmed & hawwed over what to have for ourselves. When it comes to placing orders, almost everyone ordered something different.


CLEAR TOM YUM HOR FUN
Rad Na Por Tak

This dish came as a big surprise. The thick gravy was very clear, yet when we have a taste, it actually carried a ptetty strong Tom Yum flavour! More of the tangy aspect of it.

Very, very interesting! Good for those who like Tom Yum but can't take the heat.


SEAFOOD TOM YUM
Tom Yum Talay

This cousin already ordered a rice dish but she insist on having her Tom Yum. So she got herself the single-portion.

She dislikes mushrooms so the rest of us got some of those fat & juicy straw mushrooms from her!


TOM YUM GLASS NOODLE SEAFOOD
Woonsen Tom Yum Talay

This came in a pretty large bowl and it's a well-known fact that glass noodles don't fill one up as much as other noddles so they put in a whole lot of it inside.

She is the same cousin who always ordered Tom Yum noodles whenever we dine at Secret Recipe. So I asked her, which one fared better in her book. She replied with an enthusiastic, "Secret Recipe!"



PHAD SI EW SEAFOOD
Pad Si Ew Talay

The Thai version or Char Kway Teow. Looked and smelled good, though.

Didn't have a taste of this so I can't testify on it.


PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE
Khao Phad Sapparot Talay

My order. Kinda disappointed with this, actually.

Ok, I wasn't really expecting this to be served inside a half-pineapple 'bowl' anyway. But I can still remember when dining at Magic Wok restaurant at Downtown East and someone at the neighbouring table ordered this.

When the fried rice arrived (yes, in that carved-out pineapple bowl), with it's delicious-smelling aroma and topped with loads of chicken floss, no less; I was filled will much food-envy. Even my bro turned to me, wide-eyed (as if to say, "Why didn't we order this??!").

I don't get that same vibe with this. That missing chicken floss topping must have been the big factor. :(


BLACK OLIVE FRIED RICE
Khao Phad Nam Liab

One of my cousins saw how much I relish eating this when I ordered a plate of this from the Flamingo foodstall at Asli Village, Downtown East.

So that evening, she was determined to order this. Sure helped that she was very hungry… Oh, she's she same person who had the single-serving of Tom Yum Seafood soup.


STIR-FRIED NZ BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GARLIC
Nuea Phad Kra Tiam

Ordered by my cousin who loves her beef. With a label like, "N.Z Beef Tenderloin" I guess she just can't resist it.

True to it's name, this dish carried a strong hint of soy & garlic, as with the ominous presence of their minced bits. Beef was really tender, too.


CRISPY TOFU WITH MIXED VEGETABLES
Tao Hu Phad Phak

Felt like we could do with more veggies so we asker the server to recommend us a nice veggie dish to share. Our request somewhat caught her off-guard but she recommended this anyway.

Not bad. Kailan & other veggies stir-fried in oyster sauce. Too bad the the tofu wasn't mixed in together (simply placed on top) or it could have been even more flavourful. Guess it's to retain its crispiness...

No worries, 5 of that tofu pieces somewhat suffice because 3 of my cousins abhors veggies!


My plate

How may plate looked like after spooning on the various appetisers and items given by my cousins…

In case you're wondering, it was really, really filling!

Also ordered and not pictured (at the other end of the table) was:

Anyway, with our full bellies, here's what we got down to at the Fountain Terrace. Since it was a weekday evening, there was nary a crowd so we conduct some kinda 'Muslimah Photoshoot'. Feeling-feeling like Dian Pelangi, liddat.
