Orange Elephant is one of the very few places with authentic Thai food, reasonably priced menu and comfortable seating arrangement. They are currently doing a promotion, which by adding $1 (yes you heard right, it’s $1), you could get an extra dish. Depending on the day of the week, it could be pork chop curry, prawn cakes etc. Curry Seafood BreadThe dishes arrived in a pomp of overflowing curry.

Curry Seafood Bread
The dishes arrived in a pomp of overflowing curry. The bread, which was lightly toasted with crispy edges, was doused in a creamy yellow curry sauce. It was packed with a myriad of fragrant spices and herbs, with a slight kick from the chilies. With the deep intense sauce and fresh seafood ladled on, the bread soaked up all the fragrances, and was sinfully addictive.
Prawn Cake
This was only $1, which was an ABSOLUTE STEAL! They came piping hot with extremely crispy crusts. The prawn patty was also bouncy and juicy with a pleasing chew. With a dip into the hot sauce, they certainly galvanized our tastebuds.
Skewers Platter
The platter was made up of pork, beef and chicken skewers. The meat was imbued with a deep chargrilled aroma, but still managed to remain moist and juicy inside. The satay sauce further amped up the dish with its roasted nutty flavors and peanut bits.
Grilled Beef Short Ribs
Perfectly seared on the outside, the beef was tender and deeply marinated with a melange of flavors into every inch of fibers.
Mango Shaved Ice
I can’t believe I’m so late to the party! This dessert was an absolute showstopper. The finely shaved ice was bejeweled with thick pieces of Thai mango flesh, which is renowned for its floral and sweet aroma. The accompanying mango sauce, condensed milk and glutinous rice did it wonders by adding textural contrasts.
Mango Toast
There is usually nothing to write home about on such a basic dessert. But this outclassed all the other similar desserts I had, simply quintessential! The texture of the bread was optimal; soft and buttery inside, but not soggy; crispy on the outside, but not hard. The refreshing coconut icecream on the side undercut the richness, and we wolfed that down in no time.
