Thai food scores well with the locals here. It caters to our general liking for spicy stuff. I think being a Singaporean enables me to enjoy a wide spectrum of foods; anything from pungent-smelling durians, tongue-frying chillis to cheesy pastas and raw meats in Jap cuisines. Yeah.
Okies, let me stay focused. Back to Thai food.
Jai Thai Cafe @ Thomson Plaza
Yang and I enjoy popping by Jai Thai Cafe at Thomson Plaza for their mouth-watering Thai spread. So far, our budget-consciousness has landed us their set meals. For $7 to $8, we get to enjoy a hearty set meal comprising pineapple rice, chicken green curry, sweet chilli fried fish slices, wrapped chicken in pandan leaf, spring rolls, desert of the day (steam honey tapioca in coconut milk / coconut agar cubes / etc) and tea/coffee/lime juice/lemon tea. Incredible right? The ingredients used are fresh and the food is really very tasty. See picture. We’ve also tried their tom yum soup (hot and spicy!) and fish cakes (chewy and delicious). :)
In addition, I also like the staff at Jai Thai. Like the typical Thai, they are friendly and always warm. One of them even shared with me how to cook green curry when I bought a tub of green curry paste from them. You could detect that sincerity in sharing cooking tips. :)
