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.

Spicy Thai Sequel

I was back to Spicy Thai again.  This time I brought my girls along too. I couldn't wait to try the new dishes and also my personal favourites I would love to indulge again.

When the owner asked me "try the fish head curry?" I was awed. I never heard of it before. My first look at it, it did look similar to the typical curry fish head. Upon tasting it, it was rather different. It had a taste of tomyum but with a thicker texture. They had an abundant of vegetables such as brinjal, cabbages in it. For friends who are lactose intolerant, this may be a good alternative. 

Cha-Om omelette. Cha-Om or acacia leave is commonly eaten by Thais, Cambodians and Laotians. Tasted especially delicious with eggs. It had a bit of herby, refreshing taste. The combo was heavenly.

The meat balls are blended with onions, basil. The meaty taste was masked by the herbs. With raw leafy vegetables accompanied, the calories for this dish was instantly cut.

For the little ones who always hate veggies, this is one dish you should never miss. Fried kangkong in aka tempura style. Very crispy, did not feel very oily. 

My little one who has always hated greens, couldn't help but kept munching on the chip chip (as what she term it). She simply loved it! 

We had the carbs too. The Crab Fried Rice and Seafood Hor Fun. The fried rice gave me a homely taste, really heartwarming. The hor fun was very smooth with enough gravy and not starchy. My girls loved them all and had more than two bowls each.

With my all-time favorite Mango Sticky Rice dessert. Aroi Mak!

Eating is one of my loves. I cannot wait to share one of my recent finds in the heart of Aljunied. It is an understated Thai restaurant, namely Spicy Thai.

First time drinking Thai Teh-O. (meaning tea with no milk). Tea was not bitter at all. Indeed a change from the usual norm.

I tried the Tom Yumm Goong. That was like my Must Order dish whenever I stepped into a Thai Restaurant: -) It was served on a Claypot using charcoal. Oh that was surprising. The good thing about using charcoal, the food was kept warm longer than using candle.

 

Vegetables used was fresh. Peanuts and the dried prawns made the dish even more appetising.

Fried prawn cakes was delicious and didn't feel oily.

Barbeque Pork! My favourite indulgence. No fats mainly lean meat was tasted. OK, at least I didn't feel so sinful.

Chicken Wings was lathered with honey and boss secret ingredients. I finished all 4 pieces I ordered. Terrible me!

This otah was worth more mention.  It was served in a coconut husk. Otah was all mashed up, mixed with prawns and coconut flesh. That's quite a novelty.

See the coconut flesh 

What is a meal without dessert? Though I was already full to my max, still I couldn't resist the Mango Sticky Rice and sneaked a bite from my friend's equally irresistible Red Ruby.

 The boss, Ron mentioned the Rubies are all made fresh daily. They tasted crunchy and not chewy. The texture was perfect.

 My favourite Mango Sticky Rice. Portion was just right, fresh mangoes imported from Thailand. I finished everything in just minutes. 

Here is a picture with the boss. Looks Thai, isn't it? He is actually a Singaporean.  He speaks fluent Thai which is all self-taught so he can communicate with his Thai Chef. He believes in true ingredients used in his dishes, hence, he imported most of them from Thailand.

It was truly a fulfilling meal at Spicy Thai.  Thank you Ron for having me around. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and chat with him.. I will definitely be back again with my family and friends for more.
