First visit here 2 years ago, came back again for lunch last week - think the food has improved! lunch by myself. ordered1. Thai style fried rice with chicken: a lot of egg fried with the rice not very spicy but had some herbs to flavor it (I can identify kaffir lime leaves and parsley). Chicken pieces are nicely browned; medium-grain rice fluffs nicely. the only drawback is that it was a bit on the oily side; the rice glistened under ordinary lighting.2. Stir fried gai lan with garlic: Strong

1. Thai style fried rice with chicken: a lot of egg fried with the rice not very spicy but had some herbs to flavor it (I can identify kaffir lime leaves and parsley). Chicken pieces are nicely browned; medium-grain rice fluffs nicely. the only drawback is that it was a bit on the oily side; the rice glistened under ordinary lighting.
2. Stir fried gai lan with garlic: Strong garlic flavored, with sliced carrots to compliment. Gai lan is fresh and still crunchy, not limp and overcooked! This was actually my favorite dish of the meal.
3. Hot taste beef: Very thick and pungent sauce, after a while there is a clear layer of oil that has risen to the surface; a lot like red curry. Heavily spiced, there were leaves of parsley in the sauce. accompanied by string beans (quite a lot of it too); the meat was chewy, average texture - while i can stand the hotness of the sauce it was way too greasy to my liking; many people may find it overly pungent. But it was good nonetheless.
enjoyed this meal a lot; overall I'd give it a 8 out of 10, -2 for the unnecessary oiliness. Will come back again, but need to swap the hot taste beef with some other protein dish.
