Known for its delicious rustic thai food, Samsen has opened their second branch in Sheung Wan, inheriting the street style design with a much larger capacity. What stays the same is the long endless queue at its storefront 😅Green papaya salad | $98Super crunchy green papaya and lots of peanuts. Refreshing yet quite punchy and heavy on spice.

‘Khao Soi’ Curried chicken with egg noodles | $148
They do not serve boat noodles at this branch but their signature curried egg noodles is equally good. It’s a mild curry broth with strong sweet coconut undertone. Love the texture of the egg noodles that is very springy. The chicken is so soft and tender that can easily fall off the bones.

Stir fried chicken and flat noodles | $128
The flat noodles are not as springy as I would’ve liked. But the fact that noodles are not sticking indicates great wok fry cookery. The dish does remind me of the HK style fried noodles (干炒河). But it lacks a bit of flavor on its own, the accompanying sweet and spicy red sauce is much needed which lifted the flavor of the entire dish.

Desserts at Samsen is absolutely unbeatable. Their ice cream remains my favorite, super coconuty with some sweet coconut flesh and generous peanuts to add crunch. It’s the perfect summer sweet delight. The Thai tea version has a rich red tea aroma and the sweetness is surprisingly balanced. The mango sticky rice is great with warm sticky rice and great amount of sweet coconut cream, completes with fresh mango.
