Korat Thai Cafe @ Orchard Towers

Hi guys! I'm here to recommend an awesome thai food place that I go to other than Ah Loy Thai when I'm craving for some thai food. This hidden gem is located at Orchard Towers. Don't think that Orchard Towers only have all the bars and discos. This "restaurant" here serves authentic thai food at reasonable prices! Very very awesome. The settings of Korat Thai Cafe is not exactly like a restaurant. It's more of like a shop where they will cook their dishes and there are tables outside the shop for you to consume your food. Pretty different from the normal restaurants or coffeeshops that we usually dine at. 

Here's some pictures that I have for you!

Yup, this is what I mean by eating outside the shop

Chicken Thai Green Curry ($10)

I absolutely adore the green curry. It is a must order whenever I visit this Thai restaurant. The green curry sauce goes extremely well with plain rice, and the chicken is really tender and well marinated. The brinjal in the curry is also very nice. Please do order the green curry if you're a curry lover, even if you're not, or you can't take spicy food, this dish is still a must order, cause it isn't very spicy, and has a sweet tinge to the curry. 

Plain Omelette ($6)

Next dish, the omelette. This omelette is awesome as well. The sides of the omelette is crispy, and not too salty. I loved this dish. The only complain for this dish is that I felt that it was a little oily. Other than that, it's an egg dish that's very well done. 

Seafood Tomyum Soup ($10) 

Lastly, the seafood tomyum soup. I felt that the soup wasn't as sour as some other tomyum that I've had. The thing that I liked is that the soup base is clear. The soup has loads of ingredients too. I should probably ask the chef to make it spicier and more sour the next time I order this dish.

Yup, my overall review for this restaurant is that, if you don't mind eating at a place surrounded by bars and occasional loud thumps of music, then you have to visit this restaurant. Or if you love thai food, then please visit this restaurant too. It wouldn't disappoint. If my memory didn't fail me, they are opened from 7pm till late. So this place makes a good supper location too!

The Avengers + Ah Loy Thai + Shopping

Hi guys! I'm back from a full day of enjoyment with Jasmine. We went for The Avengers movie in the morning, and it's such an awesome movie!! I guess I don't have to reiterate how good this movie is. Everyone who has watched it before exclaims that it's a movie that you definitely have to watch! So please catch it if you haven't.The movie is kind of long so we were practically starving by the end of the movie and we still had to make our way to Bugis for our food. But all the starving and waiting is worth it. I swear Ah Loy Thai serves awesome and authentic thai food. Too damn good! You'll definitely salivate just by looking at the pictures. Heheheh. Please do try it if you happen to be around the Bugis area, but prepare to wait for quite a long time for a seat, because it's just so popular! After food, we headed over to Bugis Street for a mini shopping spree. I managed to get 2 tops and a pair of shoes for $40. So awesome right? Heh! Loving my buys! Alright, some pictures to go!

Took a picture with my new mirror! 

Met Jas and went for our movie!

With our favourite characters, Ironman and Captain America! <3 Who's your favourtie Hero?

After our movie, we made our way to Ah Loy Thai for lunch!

Next up on our itinerary is shopping! We finished lunch at about 3 plus, so we were only left with a few hours to shop, before we head home. But we still managed to buy some stuff! So we're happy girls!

YAY! The very nice salesperson helped us with these pictures!

We bought our items and head off to the train station. Of course, during the long ride, we would spam some pictures! It's really quite hilarious when we had to struggle to stand firm on the moving train and attempt to take nice pictures. Haha, but the camwhore us, still managed to take some pictures! 

Four camwhore pictures of us for you!

Alright, that's about it for this post. 

Remember to watch The Avengers and have lunch at Ah Loy Thai!

Will be back to blog about the other parts of my Melbourne Trip.

Meanwhile, have a good rest, and conquer the last working/schooling day of the week tomorrow!

Love,

Su Shan
