RUEN-MALLIKA @ BANGKOK, THAILAND

I reckon I should write about this awesome place I’ve been to during my last trip to Bangkok. Reason is, this place serves very authentic Thai food dated back to the days where they are being served to the Thai royalties and these dishes are believe to have medicinal effects on our bodies. No wonder most of the Thai girls we see are so slim! Well the attraction of this place is not just the food but also the whole structure. The place is made from traditional Thai teak wood and service staff are all dressed in traditional Thai costumes. So are the utensils and serving plates and bowls. My buddy in Bangkok brought me there for dinner much to my surprise as this place is tucked in some back alleys in Sukhumvit Soi 20 and it’s a really nice little paradise to have authentic Thai food, chat up with your mates, or even a date with that special someone. Check out the pics below:

Menu
First up, Chun-Cheu-Boos-Sa-Ba. An assortment of Fried Flowers which is said to aid digestion. This is nice. 🙂
Tod-Mun-Goong. Some prawn mix batter. Taste good! Aids appetitie.
Khao-Tang-Nha-Thung. Traditional rice crackers with shallot and garlic dip. Relieves cold & cough and reduces blood pressure.
This is how you eat it... addictive!
Kor-Moo-Yang. Grilled Pork and if eaten with dip, will aid digestive system, blood circulation and gas in stomach... No wonder that night I was so farty... ;P
Tom-Yum-Goong-Mae-Num. This soup needs no introduction but Tom Yum soups have some medicinal effects on us too! It has high vitamin C, decreases blood sugar and relieves coughs and indigestion.
This is the clear broth version. Just love the big river prawns and the taste!
Gang-Kheaw-Waan-Gai or Pla -Grai... Or Chicken Green Curry. Lovely dish and this dish actually helps in bone strengthening, cures rheumatism and decreases blood pressures.
Nam-Prik-Khai-Poo. Salad base dish but the main thing is the dip. Very healthy dish. Promotes appetitite and healthy skin, relieves coiughs and promotes a healthy heart.
Wonder how long they spend carving this... hmmm

Rating: 5/5.

Taste: Awesome. Must check it out at least once.

Portion: Average

Price: Buddy paid but I should think it’s quite reasonable for the quality of the food and ambience.

RTE: Yuppers!

Ok it reads Fan How Tim Ban in Cantonese or in English, it means desserts after rice… or meals… It’s just opposite the famous B仔凉粉 but I heard the latter’s standards have dropped. So I tried this stall which is renown for their Durian Pancakes, super crowded and they occupy like so many shop houses along the road and behind… amazing business they have!

See how crowded the place is? Wah lau... business damn good...
Inside the shop... the guys inside the kitchen area were working non-stop and keeps churning out bowls and bowls of dessert!
Mixed Fruits Jelly (杂果凉粉) - Very refreshing. Basically it's just fresh fruits and jelly at the bottom. But it's nice lah. 🙂
Braised mid section wings... nice snack!
Chee Cheong Fun with fishballs... in curry sauce, sweet bean sauce and sesame sauce. Love this.
Durian Pancakes!!! The skin is super soft, the durian taste is power! Tasted like D24 inside! Love it! It was so good I ta pao 2 more packets. Each pack is HKD$28.
Fresh cream with durian paste... superb formula to gain weight but the taste is just so irresistible!!!
Address of the place from my takeaway bag...

Rating: 5/5

Taste: Most of the stuff we tried were good. Will try other stuff on my next trip there.

Portion: Average

Price: Total bill about HKD$100… including 3 packets of durian pancake for takeaway.

RTE: Yup!

Location: See last picture.

Heard so much about this chill out place located in a farmway at Pasir Ris so I decided to check it out with a friend for dinner. Not too hard to find but it’s located slightly deep in the Pasir Ris Farmway 1. So just drive straight in and keep going and head toward the Kids’ Kampong direction.

black pepper crabs. Promo of 4 crabs cooked anyway u like with a jug of beer for $48!
heard the curry fish head was good but can't eat anymore. so the kind souls at soulout cooked a bowl of gravy with lots of veg for me to try. very nice peranakan thick style of curry. excellent with rice and maybe you can bring your own baguette!
beer that comes with the promo!

Rating: 5/5

Taste: Everything was lovely. The level of spiciness can be requested. So if you want your kangkong to be more spicy, do it. If you want your curry fish head to be more spicy, do it!

Portion: Average

Price: The whole meal came to about $70+ Pretty decent pricing really.

RTE: Yeah man, great place to chill out with some friends.

Curry Chicken, Snow Dessert

EnFrost Cafe (POMO Level 2)

Located at level 2 of POMO (formerly known as Paradiz Centre), the little cafe hardly sits more than 10 of me inside. Tucked in the middle of 2 other food stalls, some people hardly notice this stall. Nevertheless, I was there to try their food! They only have 2 things. Curry Chicken (with rice or bread) and Snow Dessert (with different toppings).

The curry chicken has a strong aroma about it and after tasting it, you’ll know where the aroma comes from. It’s the rumpah (Malay-nonya version of paste made up of different spices) that makes the whole dish so nice and fragrant. Taste wise, excellent. Full body curry taste and very very tasty. The chicken and potato inside were cooked to perfection and portioning is good as well. At only $4 for the curry chicken and $0.70 for the bread! Bread is toasted till crispy on the skin and fluffy inside. So when you dip into the curry sauce and put it in your mouth… I can’t describe the feeling… you must go try it yourself. 🙂

Curry Chicken @ $4

The same cafe also sells all sorts of Snow Dessert with fruits! At $3.80 each bowl, it’s worth it cos of the generous portions of fruits on top! Quite a big bowl. 2 normal persons can share 1 bowl lah. Must try too. 🙂 Best of all, you can tell them to go easy on the syrup!

Mango Snow Dessert – SHIOK!
Look at the strands of milky snow… yummy…
Grapes Snow Dessert (Look at the amount of grapes on it… the syrup taste like those bubblegum with instant tattoos)

I will definitely be back for the curry chicken and maybe try the green tea red bean snow dessert the next round! 🙂
