Sawadee krup


Went to Bangkok Thai Restaurant in Tin Hau. I've been to the branch in Causeway Bay but the Tin Hau branch is so much better. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that the entire staff is Thai but the food is so much more tasty. And hot! Not spicy hot but thermal hot. I don't know about everyone else, but I hate eating lukewarm food. The food at this branch always comes fresh off the wok and steaming.

Another thing I like about this branch is that even the simplest dishes are so good. Like the Thai spring rolls. Nothing fancy, but simply good. Crunchy but not fried and oily, tasty but not heavily so.

And the simple omlette. Again, grilled just right. Not burnt or greasy.

Ordered something new tonight: sweet and sour beef fillet. I was curious how this dish - normally made with pork or chicken - would taste with beef as the main ingredient. Not bad at all. The beef was tender and juicy and tasted good with the sauce. And once again, piping hot. Even the juice inside the pineapple cubes was steaming!
