Feeling SPICY today?

Introducing creative new Thai-fusion dishes curated by Ron, the owner of Spicy Thai.

The organic wheatgrass drink was refreshing and tasty. Who said healthy food was always awful? There was tinge of honey tasted too. Very good thirst quencher on a hot day.

 It was only S$3.50 for a glass of goodness

Basil Mussels is priced at S$15. The portion served was huge, mussels were huge and fresh. The basil and chillies blended very well with the mussels. A must-order! Really very worth it!

The La La (Clams) Bee Hoon is priced at S$18 for a clammy experience. 

Fresh clams stirred fried with bee hoon, chillies and onions. I realised I ate more clams than bee hoon. It was very generous of Spicy Thai.  Whenever I had something similar out there, I would end up eating more bee hoon and digging into the plate to look for the clams. Clam lovers, time to head down!

Here is the dish that both adults and kids will like; Mushroom Tempura which is at S$10. The skin was crunchy and not oily, while the mushrooms were soft and not soggy and dry. This was so heavenly. Who cares about calories now? I could finish the entire plate! 

Thai Walking Cat Fish with Spicy Lemon Soup. No no the Fish would not walk!  Don't fret! Instead of using Sea Bass, Ron attempted using the entire Cat Fish steamed and kept warm using Charcoal with a tom yum like gravy. I only tried Cat Fish in Western Restaurants where the chef would grill or stir fried with a white sauce. 

To eat Cat Fish with Spicy Lemon Sauce was my first time. Imagine the protein and vitamin C goodness you can get from this dish. The flesh of the meat was tender and had no earthy taste. A very flavourful dish which is a winner for both its look and taste. It is indeed very reasonable at S$28 for a full Cat Fish. 

Never tried the Pandan Chicken from Spicy Thai. The chicken was tender, moist and fragrant.  They were cooked with the right timing. For 5 pieces of Pandan Chicken, it was priced at S$8.

I love coming to Spicy Thai. Each time, I would discover a new DIY (do it yourself) stuff by the owner Ron. I discovered an old bath tub being converted into a Fish Tank! He is indeed very hands-on and experimental. 

Do drop by to savour the delectable selection of Thai cuisine at Spicy Thai soon. Perhaps over the weekends?

They are located at: Blk 115 Aljunied Avenue 2 #01-35 Singapore 380115.

New Additions in Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe

 

The chefs at Spicy Thai-Thai Café are always creating New dishes so customers are never bored of going back. To add more "Spice" to the repertoire of traditional dishes, they created these few new fusion dishes for a East-meet-West flavour.

 

I started with the Nacho Chips with a Spicy Thai specially-made Avocado Dip. Avocado dips are own-made from scratch using fresh avocadoes.

 

The taste was so refreshing and I couldn't stop munching. Do you know that Avocadoes have lots of health benefits? They can help to lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of diabetes, promote lower body weight and prevent cancer. So healthy food does not equate to awful taste afterall.

 Nacho Chips with Avocado Dip at $12

 

I jumped with excitement upon seeing the Pork Porridge on the new menu list. I always love Pork Porridge. When  I saw it being served, it gave me a feeling of being at Home. The taste of the porridge felt like it was cooked with love by mum. Yummy! This savoury and flavourful dish was warm and comforting. It is a favourite with the Teochews in Thailand too.

 

Pork Porridge is at $5

 

Instead of using oil, the chef opted to use water for healthier eating. One of my favourites for the evening. I was intrigued by the crispy sun-dried fish. They looked like a beautiful garnish and actually equally tasty to eat. The kind of creativity and thoughts put into a simple egg dish. That is amazing.

Water-Fry Egg with Thai -Style Crispy Sun-Dried Fish $12

 

Fish Maw Crab Meat boiled in coconut husk was like a match made in heaven. Chef added fresh coconut flesh inside too. Together with the seafood, they brought out the real sweetness in the soup. Everything just tasted perfect.

 

Fish Maw Crab Meat Soup at $28 (4-pax portion)

 

I was always so full whenever I did food tasting. This time was no exception too. However, I just had to taste the dessert Tapioca with coconut milk. Tapioca was steamed and mixed with freshly squeezed coconut juice. It was truly sinful but irresistible.

 

                             

                                              Steamed Tapioca with Coconut Milk at $3.50

 

 

Snippets on Spicy Thai

 

Spicy Thai-Thai Café was founded by homegrown businessman, Ron Poh five years ago. With the success of its first outlet in Jalan Besar, the second shop was sprouted at Aljunied Avenue 2 in 2013.

 

Ron has an unexplained affinity with anything Thai, from culture to food. What started out as a passion for seeking authentic Thai food results in him wanting to present the most authentic experience for his customers at Spicy Thai-Thai Café.

Kan Pai Saturday

 

I was brimming with joy when I received the invite to try out the new buffet menu from En Japanese Dining Bar on a Saturday. This is their latest concept outlet, located in the heartlands of  Bukit Timah.

 

Mixed sashimi salad with the radish sauce to whet your appetite for more dishes to come:-)

 

A mix of Yakitori. They were barbequed with the right heat and time. Tasted great.

 

 

The snow crabs were lightly boiled. An option to eat it on its own or add to the Shabu Shabu.

 

 Yippee! Couldn't resist the beef!

 

 That was a lot of protein intake for the weekend.

 

 Sushi was superb too, with fresh catch daily. You can be sure of quality food in En Japanese Dining.

 

 

Cold Sake from the Gekkeikan Kasen. It was very easy to drink. Ideal for people like me who gets red after drinks. I didn't get red at all drinking this!

 

 A traditional Okinawa dish, highly recommended by Chef Uto Kazuto. A stir mix of bitter gourd, beancurd and luncheon meat with eggs. We were surprised"What is luncheon meat doing in a Japanese dish?" Looked like a dish from the Mixed Vegetable rice stall. Oops.

 

 Reason was this dish originated from the US troops. They just mixed what they could find, and that's it. Luncheon Meat was part of their ration. This combination somehow became a great hit and made it to the Okinawa Traditional Dish list.

 

Personally I loved these grilled scallops. Usually scallops tasted bland on their own. However, chef chose to add Mentai Sauce to them. It was simply out of the world. 

 

The never go wrong Tempura Prawns.  Big succulent prawns fried to perfection.

 

Quail eggs with Yakitori Sauce. Yums.

 

Another Chef Recommendation for carbs. It is similar to the Chinese Mui-Fan. However, the rice were stirred fried before adding on the crab sauce for the finishing touch. It was not oily, very easy to eat. Rice grains were not soggy since the sauce was put at the side. I managed to take a few mouthfuls.

 

Price is reasonable for shabu shabu and a 100+ items to choose from the buffet!

I will be back!
