BALIthai at NEX Part 1

BALIthai is a renowned brand owned & operated by Katrina Holdings, the same group that operates HONGUO which I featured earlier in my Blog. They have been operating BALIthai at NEX since its opening, and have since opened its latest outlet at Causeway Point. 

From its name you can deduce that the restaurant serves both Indonesian (first part -BALI) & Thai (second portion - thai) Cuisines. I love both Thai food & Indonesian food, as both cuisines uses a lot of spices, herbs which lend the cuisines their unique Asian flavours. 

Here is a peek at the latest menu from BALIthai with a wide selection such that diners are indeed spoilt for choice - from appetisers, soups, seafoods, to meats and vegetables. 

BALIthai even have a special menu for Vegans : 

Taste of Thailand at Block 1001 Yishun Industrial Park A

Taste of Thailand used to be located  at the old Sembawang Shopping Centre 12 years ago where they were one of the top best restaurants doing, until the old Sembawang Shopping Centre was totally demolished to make way for a bigger spacious building now known as Sembawang Shopping Centre. 

Despite its move out of Sembawang Shopping Centre, its fans has since sniffed their nose and followed Taste of Thailand's move to Block 1001, Yishun Industrial Park A. During their days at the old SSC, Taste of Thailand had always hired male service staff - you can never find any auntie going around taking orders.  

The following are some must try dishes you got to get a taste of : 

Sambal Kang Kong  - the kang kong is stirred fried & cooked just right, with dash of freshly blended sambal belachan chilli

Deep Fried Cuttlefish strips - taste sweet & spicy if you dip it into first the Thai green chilli sauce followed by the salad cream sauce. 

Lemon Chicken - chicken fillet is deep fried to a crisp outer skin yet juicy inner meat, and the lemon sauce is indeed made from fresh lemon juice that has been caramelised to give a sweet taste.

 

Currently Taste of Thailand is in its second generation, with Kenny Ang helming the business together with his brothers.

Galamang Thai - Viet at Tiong Bahru Market Food Centre

Bob & I had dinner last night at Tiong Bahru Market Food Centre. I tried the Galamang Thai-Viet Food Stall's Basil Leaf Chicken with Egg & rice for a mere S$4.00

This 3 week old stall is run by Malaysian Felix Hew & Keng, his beautiful native Thai wife who is our lovely chef for the day. I can tell Keng genuinely LOVES cooking and the effort she takes in dishing our each order painstakingly, every time a new order comes about, to make sure the food is always served fresh !

One thing I notice was there was an incessant order of Thai Spring rolls : made of egg, carrot slices, raw tau gay, cucumber slices, drizzled with crushed peanut bits & Thai sweet Chilli for S$3.50

Another favourite dish ordered by the patrons was the Thai Beef noodles (above) & the Padh Thai.(below)

The Thai Green Curry looks just as nice, very lemak.

Long House Thai Cuisine at Longhouse Food Court at Upper Thomson Road

Thai Mango Salad 

Thai Seafood Tang Hoon Salad 

Chef Frankie Sim & His Thai Chef 

Bob and I visited Longhouse Food Court along Upper Thomson Road. We used to feast at the Longhouse at their old location in Jalan Besar before they moved to Upper Thomson Road. Had a good chat with Selena the Food Court Manager in charge of the food stalls.

I ordered food from this stall call Long House Thai Cuisine. It is owned by Frankie Sim who cooks with another Thai chef from Thailand.

I chose their Tang Hoon Seafood salad for S$7 & their Mango salad for S$5 per plate. For a S$5 portion was very generous. The mango salad dish is served with peanut , green mango strips, bits of chilli padi, and drizzled with Thai fish sauce & lime juice.

The Tang Hoon seafood salad is very appetizing, they use large prawns, juicy calamari slices,with bits of black fungus and chilli padi bits, with slices of tomatoes soaked in fish sauce & lime.

This is the humble homely dinner Bob & I had one weekday evening at Joe's Kitchen, Alexandra Village.

This is a restaurant open by Thai Chef Joe & his Singaporean Chinese wife. Joe is extremely generous with his ingredients & his portions. Bob & I especially adore his Mango salad. Because Joe is Thai, a lot of his ingredients he uses are true to the Thai taste. 

Everything we are here we never fail to indulge in the Thai Green Curry Chicken. Now Joe use only  fresh chicken meat, cooked to the perfect temperature and heat, and served warm. The gravy from his Thai Green Chicken Curry is very lemak.
