Comments: The environment is dark and quiet, comfortable for for Thai cuisine dining. Most of the dishes they’ve prepared are slightly sweet and not spicy. I’ll be talking about some of them.

Tom Yum Soup

The classic Thai spicy and sour soup should have the ability to stimulate the appetite because of the sour and the spicy flavor it has. But this certain soup has only sour flavor. I did not taste a hint of spiciness from the soup which was kind of disappointing to me. The ingredients used are well prepared but I’ve only tasted mild seafood flavor but heavy sour taste. Quite disappointed due to the zero spiciness.

Pad Thai

Thai-style fried noodles, served with lime and peanut. Slightly different from the other Pad Thai that I’ve eaten which are spicy and salty, this is sweet and not spicy at all. The peanut is probably the ingredient that have gave the noodle a sweet flavor. But since it’s a fried noodle, I would’ve thought it would be salty instead of sweet, and it didn’t really have the ability to stimulate my appetite.

Thai Vegetable Omelette

The last dish to talk about, which is also the best dish I’ll say. Slightly charred omelette served with their spicy belachan sauce. The most exciting and appetizing dish you’ll get. The belachan sauce has that great spicy and salty flavor and is also fragrant. Eating slightly charred omelette with the belachan is superb. This was the dish that caught my attention the most even though it is the easiest dish to prepare among all the dishes I’ve ordered.

I understand that not all Thai Cuisine are supposed to be food and I may not be profound in authentic Thai Cuisine, but this is the rating I’ll give for the dishes and the restaurant. Price ranges from $15-$25.
