We started off with our soup, Tom Yum Goong.
You can either have it mild or spicy and I decided to have the spicy one as I love the spices and herbs used in Thai cooking. Generous with their prawns and chicken, this was a sign of a good start of our meal.
Next came our Pomelo Salad,
I am generally not a fan of pomelo but the combination of it with prawns (my favorite and will never get tired of it) and cashew (or was it walnuts?) was just deliciously light.
Up next was the different dishes that were served all at the same time:
Pad Thai, stir fried rice noodles with prawns (again! love it) and bean sprouts. This kind of reminds me of Char Kwe Tiao of Singapore with a twist
Shrimp cakes. Although I'm not much into using sauces on my food, this was one instance where the sauce complimented the shrimp cakes
KangKong (or Swamp Cabbage). I was told by Jeff that the swamp cabbages are meticulously selected by the Thai chef and not everything out of the vegetable is put into the dish
Thai Bagoong Rice (who hasn't tried this but you have to try Benjarong's)
Overall the meal was not heavy, I was still able to cram in mangoes for dessert. If i were with Michelin Guide, I would definitely give this restaurant 5 stars!
p.s. did you notice the lovely Thai plates used. Impeccable!
