Amazing Thailand 2010 - Food version Two

It has been quite a while, busy with work. Been wanted to post some photos for this restaurant that i have been to, during my Bangkok trip early this year. Well, hope this place is not badly affected by the political issue lately.

Joe Louis, traditional Thai puppet theatre located at Suan Lam night market at Lumpini. If you love puppet shows and want to capture the intricate movements and fascinating storyline which was once awarded best traditional puppet show at the International Puppet Festival, be sure to check out the timing of the show at the theatre.

The restaurant is just beside the theatre, which serves traditional Thai food. It is packed with different groups of diners, and of course mainly tourists.

I will always order Phai Thai in any Thai restaurant.  

Much, much better than any of the Phai Thai i had in Singapore. Fried with simple ingredients like bean sprout, egg and chicken meat. The wetness of the Kway Teow and the garlic taste just nice.

(Big Head) Prawn Tom Yam Gong

Prawns are very fresh and most importantly, the broth is very tasty. It is not just the usual plain tom yam soup base, it probably have been simmered with the prawn and fish bone.

Glass noodle seafood salad

I like the sharp taste of the sour and spicy of it. The chef has grasped the extent of both flavors to the right level.

Tea Loft (Food Opera)

Tea Loft, which locates at basement 4, ION Orchard form part of the food court (Food Opera). Another subsidary of Bread Talk re-packaged with more prestige furnishing of the english tea room concept. It serves similar type of local food like Toast Box except the expansion of the drinks variety such as Coffee Melaka and Yuan Yang Jelly-O.

English tea room deco with the back connected with Food Opera.

Return to the basic, coffee of the day.

Personally, i think Bread Talk have better quality, coffee bean could have been burnt.

Peanut butter thick toast; melts perfectly with the right temperature of the toast.

Also have a soft spot for apple pie.

Caught my eye as it is presented in square shape and green apple is used instead.

Fruits are often naturally tart and it gives the freshness in flavour to a dish. Sadly, the sponge cake beneath is awful and does not contain any flavour of apple. The whole apple pie is excessively baked and the apple slices on top has desiccated.

Would not go back for the food undeniably, but maybe for the drinks instead.

Ambush

I know Ambush have been around for quite some time, but did not get a chance to try the food. It is a casual european dining place which first outlet opened at Takashimaya B2. Spoted the second outlet at Jurong Point which opens about early this year when i was lazing around in the west side of Singapore :)

A simple layout.

 

Loves the cartoon drawn on the napkin, adds on an informal feel.

Peach soda as recommended by the staff, refreshing for the hot afternoon.

Bruschetta; the taste of the fresh tomatoes makes you wanted to eat more. With the hearty serving of the tomatoes on top, it is definately worth ordering.

Trio Paella

Instead of the common seafood paella that you could find on any spanish menu, i saw this special Trio paella that comprise of mainly meat; chicken, salmon belly and Bratwurst sausages. Too bad, i found the stench of the salmon belly still exists and could not really blend well with the other 2 mains.

From the new entrée special; Oktoberfest Platter

(Bockwurst, Bratwurst and chopped pork knuckle, served with mash potato and sauerkraut)

A nice combination except the pork knuckle, which i know that it could be much tastier and tender if it had not been heated to serve.
