Sawadee Thai Cuisine @ Tan Quee Lan St

My colleague wanted to eat Thai food, so it was decided on Sawadee Thai Cuisine that we previously passed by on the way to Wan Po Tea Shop. Take note that there will be a $100 deposit required to confirm your reservation.

Staff was friendly and one could peruse the online menu by scanning the QR code.

My friends decided on the items and we went for medium plates as per recommended by the staff, as we were in a party of 5.

Was surprised when our drinks arrived. Some of the glasses looked like there wasn't enough tea to go around. This was made even more jarring when one out of the 4 milk tea had more tea than others. Hmm. Other than that, the tea tasted good.

Thai Milk Tea @$6

Thai Glass Noodles Salad (Yum Woon Sen - medium) @ $24

Tom Yum Soup (Tom Yum Talay) @$28

The glass noodles salad portion looked a tad small for a medium. Served warm, and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. 

The tom yum soup was served in a small pot and it was portion out to the 5 of us by the service staff, automatically. A small sip with a big dose of sourness! Tasty, flavourful and definitely a wake-me-up! If you like really sour, this is it!

Thai Green Curry Chicken @$16

Am surprised that there wasn't a medium size option for the Thai Green Curry Chicken. So delicious, that curry! Pour it over the rice, and that mouthful tasted heavenly! Must try here.

Spicy Steamed Seabass @$38

Didn't enjoy the seabass as the sauce was a tad underwhelming in terms of overall flavours but overwhelming in its sourness. The fish was of a good size though.

Thai Stuffed Chicken Wings @$5 per piece

The stuffed chicken wings were served piping hot and loved that it was meaty. Didn't taste like it had a lot of stuffings. Instead, it tasted like a good regular fried wing. Hmm.

Soi Thai Soi Nice @ Raffles City Shopping Centre

Was at Raffles City Shopping Centre basement, and as usual, dilemma of what to eat for dinner. As there wasn't any objection for Thai food, off we went into Soi Thai Soi Nice for a meal.

We ordered the papaya salad, waterfall pork belly, green curry (chicken) and steamed fish.

Green Papaya Salad @$10.90++

Had the original version of the green papaya salad and it turned out to be non-spicy. Gave the feedback to service staff and they made adjustments to the spice level. Another surprising element in the salad, was the raw long beans. I don't think I ever had such a big piece of raw long beans before this!

Waterfall pork belly @$13.90++

The waterfall pork belly was drenched in tangy, sweet, and spicy sauce. This plate was spicier than the green papaya salad initially. The pork was tender but its skin was chewy. Very appetising when paired with a hot plate of jasmine rice.

green curry @$13.90++

chunky chicken

Interestingly, the green curry is found under the 'Soup' section and true enough, it has enough sauce for all four of us to enjoy. Liked the spice and richness in this bowl. Portion was good.

If the food order goes beyond $30 (excluding drinks), one can order a steamed fish for half price. So, we got one to try.

Thai Style Steamed Seabass (UP $32.90++)

The fish was nicely cooked and the sauce was similar to the one in waterfall pork belly. Spice level was manageable.

Overall, expect strong flavours which tend to lean towards the sweeter side. Spice level, manageable unless one requests for more fiery version.

tamarind drink @$3.90++

The portions are generous hence, for a group of 4 pax, just need one appetiser, one curry and one meat. We overate that night and felt super duper full.

Service staff are amiable and friendly.
