Sakon Thai

I contemplated on whether I should write about this place. I love dining here and really don't want it to ever be too crowded. But it's such a great find that it's a shame not to share it with others. Located at 77 Jalan Wangi (off Macpherson Rd), its location is almost secretive, probably known to only the landed property occupants nearby. And on the last occasion we were there, even spotted a local tv celebrity dining there with his friends.

The food is delicious and price inexpensive and service is pretty alright for Singapore standards. The servings are on the small side though, so you may have to order more if coming with a big group. Not sure if they serve medium or large servings.

Chiang Mai Mango Salad - $6.50.
Difference with this and normal mango salad is this one is drizzled with coconut milk.

Mixed Vegetable $6

Chicken Pad Thai - $5.50

Prawn Cake $6.50

Beef Green Curry $8

Clear Seafood Tom yam Soup $6.90. Red one is better. 

Seafood Kway Teow $6.50

Longan and Lychee Ice with Red Ruby - $3.50

Mango with Sticky Rice and Coconut - $5.50 or $4.50 can't remember. 

Rice is charged at 50cents a bowl and there's no Service Charge, just GST!

Thai Beef Noodle Soup with Boneless Chicken Wings Set. Very nice, but very thirsty afterwords...msg overload?

The hottest (spiciest) dish at Thai Express

Yellow Ginger Chicken with Rice

I've never shied away from ordering anything spicy. I love chillies. So when I saw this dish at Thai Express I didn't really think twice eventhough there was a 3 chilli rating next to the name on the menu. I did think twice when the waiter asked me if I was really sure that this was the dish I wanted because it is super hot. I looked at him pretty skeptically thinking seriously it can't be 'that' hot. But just to be safe I also went ahead and ordered a Watermelon and Lime freeze to douse any fires in my mouth.

And glad I did because I sure needed it! The dish looked deceptively mild when it arrived but the first bite of chicken immediately put my mouth on fire. And as I progressively ate it I started to have tears in my eyes and I can tell you now that I NEVER have tears in my eyes when I eat hot and spicy foods. I started to wonder whether my face was going red too from the heat.

Apart from the heat, the dish really had no other taste. So I was really disappointed. But I was glad that my friend had packets of sugar in her bag for me to sprinkle onto the chicken....didn't help much.

Total waste...
