Wanting to go try Thai for some time, we finally get a chance when an online delivery site had a promo. We got a 50% off discount with minimum purchase. Here are some of the Thai delights we tried.
Pomelo and Prawn Salad
Starting off healthy, we had salad. I think there were two kinds of pomelo on this salad. One was more pinkish and softer while the other was paler in color and a bit tougher which provided a good mix of texture. The vinaigrette went well with the meaty pomelo. Shrimps were plump but I would have loved it more if there were more shrimps.
Pad Thai (shrimp)
Noodles with sweet - sour tamarind based sauce and topped with fried egg (to the point of being toasted) with some pieces of shrimp for our first Pad Thai. Our second order of Pad Thai, which was the chicken variant (not in photo) has less toasted egg. This is a different take on the more common noodles which usually has a salty soy based sauce.
Cashew Chicken
Wandering a bit into the spicier side we have Cashew Chicken. It kind of reminded of of Kung Pao Chicken.
Thai Fried Spring Rolls (pork) - Poh Pia
Glass noodles and ground pork filled up these bigger versions of the lumpiang shanghai.
Flat Noodles with Kailan Leaves in Gravy Sauce (seafood) - Sen Yay Radna
This had thicker noodles and more seafood toppings like shrimp, squid, and oyster compared to the Pad Thai. The noodles on this one were more saucy and sweeter. But I still prefer the noodles and sauce of the Pad Thai that has a hint of sourness, though this wins in terms of amount of toppings.
Chicken wrapped in Pandan Leaves - Gai hor bai toey
Five pieces of chicken fillets wrapped in pandan leaves glisten in its own glossy oils. You may pair this with rice or even noodles for a dose of protein.
Overall, sweet and sour are the dominant tastes in Thai food we ordered. The delivery discount promotion runs until Nov 20.
