[Food Tasting] Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe

Alight from Aljunied MRT and walk a little further in, located just behind Geylang East Centre Market, one can get to enjoy delicious and authentic Thai cuisine from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe! The business's second outlet opened since 2013, where first located in Jalan Besar.

Thanks to my friends and Christina, i had the opportunity to have a taste of the food served by Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe some time ago. A place that offers authentic Thai cuisine (following the north-east culture), Thai steamboat and also Thai Mookata all in one restaurant. Wonderful company, delicious food!

Some of the drinks we ordered that evening - Thai Ice Bandung, Signature Thai Ice Milk Tea, and Ice Lemongrass!

They offer condiment of different dressings made in-house that is sure to stimulate one's appetite when dipped with!

Fish Maw Crab Meat Abalone Soup in Coconut (S$28) - Interestingly served in a coconut husk that add fragance and sweetness to the broth. The soup contained fish maw, crab meat, mushrooms, and two pieces of 10-head Abalone. Flavourful and comfortable to have! The serving size can be shared among two person.

Thai Style Otak (Hommok) (S$18) - Another interesting dish that is served in a coconut husk. Apart from just Otah, there's also prawns, squids and coconut flesh in it. Topped with Thai Basil and chopped Chilli.

Thai Walking Cat Fish with Spicy Lemon Soup (S$35) - Unique choice of using Catfish for a much tender and softer meat. This dish is prepared and served using charcoal to keep a constant heat. In this case, we are also able to enjoy the fish's most natural collagen. This dish can be changed to sea bass too if preferred. Spicy level is strong and overall a very appetising dish. The sauce is great too!

BBQ Pork Belly (S$18) - Well-cooked and a must to order if you visit this place. We love the flavour and the tenderness of the meat!

Thai Dill Omelette (Cha Om) (S$10) - Thai dill makes the omelette turns out juicier and tastier!

Cold Tofu with Special Thai Seafood Sauce (S$15) - Tofu has always been my favourite since young and this one here definitely pass the standard. We all love its delicious, flavourful sauce all over the soft silken cold Tofu!

Lala Bee Hoon (S$18) - We love the broth, spicy yet addictive!

Deep Fried Kang Kong with Special Thai Sauce (S$10) - My first time trying Fried Kang Kang. This one here is cooked till very crispy and tasty. The Fried Kang Kang pairs really well with the special sauce that comes along. Pretty much like eating vegetable Tempura.

Thai Basil Crab (Seasonal Price) - This dish don't just looks good but the sauce was too spicy for me to take although its really yummy. Generous portion, great for a group to enjoy!

Many thanks to the restaurant owner, Mr. Ron, for having us over for such a great treat! =)

[Food Tasting] Old Boys Gallery Tapas Bar & Restaurant (OBG)

Formerly an Art Gallery, Old Boys Gallery Tapas Bar & Restaurant located along Kampong Bahru Road is one place not to be missed. Still retaining the colourful paintings on the walls, the restaurant also added in some other quirky wall art, furnitures and lovely love-lock area to enhance the setting. Overall, a casual and fun place to chill at with a wide variety of beer to choose from.

The MENU

Manster Beef Burger S$17.90 (with Cheese, Bacon, Caramelised Onions, and Egg). 

The serving size isn't that monstrous but is sure enough to fill one's stomach. We enjoyed the goodness and tenderness of the beef (would love it if its bigger and juicier). =)

Belly Good Burger S$18.90 (with homemade Onion Rings, Egg, Pineapple, Cheese and Bacon).

Slow gazed pork belly in Japanese style sauce. Sweet and tender.

Bah Kwa Risotto

A uniquely Singapore's style creation of using Bah Kwa with traditional Italian staple. Both source blends well together and very comforting to have while its still warm.

Spam Chips (S$9)

Crispy on every bite of the Spam Chip but the taste itself wasn't very much to my liking even though i love the taste of Luncheon Meat. Thank goodness for the Wasabi Mayo that comes with it! Their Wasabi Mayo is very very addictive!!

Potato Head S$7.90

(Tasty, chunky Sweet potato fries with curry mustard dip).

Chili Beef Fries S$13.90 

(Chili beef with kidney beans, fries topped with nacho cheese, mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese). This is very delicious with generous amount of different sauces. My personal favourite among the three fries we tried!

Snack Platter – ‘Triplets’ at S$21. (Choice of three different snacks)

Vongole Bianco served with crispy toast. The soup base is a lot more spicy than we expected but it will get you going for more sip if you love spicy food.

Crab Cake with lime leaf and onion, made in-house offers a sassy flavor. S$12.

OBG Wings in marmite sauce, and still able to retain all its crispiness and crunchiness. 

Really savoury! 

Sweet Indulgence

Devil’s Double Chocolate S$9.

Chocolate Lava Cake and Chocolate Ice-cream. Clean and pleasant presentation. Both Chocolates tasted good.

Earl Grey Cake with Lavender Cream S$7.90.

Refreshing and light with the aroma of Lavender.

Coconut Cake with Gula Melaka S$7.90.

This dessert is perfectly made. Love the sweetness but not too overwhelming even till the last bite!

All prices in its Menu are Nett.
Last order at 10pm.

Thank you for the wonderful invitation and i would definitely return and visit this restaurant again! =)
