Lai Thai Kitchen – Serangoon, Singapore

Next on my blog post is this little place I discovered with my mummy one of the days when we were out for lunch. Actually I wanted to eat the braised duck rice just beside this place but it has already closed down. Nevertheless, Lai Thai looked pretty good with simple but neat decor, located below a HDB block.

As our lunch time was quite early and on a weekday afternoon, there weren’t many patrons at the eatery. So we were seated down by a Thai staff, and found out that they have lunch time specials for only $9.90! So we ordered and had a taste of their food.

Pad Thai - Not like what I learnt in Thailand. A little tasteless, lack of the essential palm sugar and tamarind juice for that extra kick.
Phad Thai – Not like what I learnt in Thailand. A little tasteless, lack of the essential palm sugar and tamarind juice for that extra kick.
Green Curry Chicken - Not bad, using the right ingredients of Thai brinjals, sweet basil and kaffir lime leaves. But I reckon still lack of the palm sugar inside.
