The whole Amoy Street has been transformed from a sleepy little back alley to a bustling place with bars, cafes, restaurants and dessert shops. No longer do you have to feel like you're going down a rat-infested street with 99% of the shops closed to find that one special upstairs restaurant, nowadays it's business from top to toe. We walked in from the tram stop end with the hope of finding something spicy, and there are at least 3 choices for Thai there, plus some Indian place if you fancy cur
Well, authentic or not, we were rather disappointed. The drinks came in a small glass with lots of ice, and my longan drink had a few pasty mushy gunks of brown blobs in them, and they tasted rather chemical as well. The red chili fried rice tasted NOTHING of chili, not to mention there wasn't much in there apart from a few pieces of greens and not a whole lotta other.
The pad thai told a similar story, pretty bland unless you heaped on the chili flakes and sauce, the chicken was stringy and fatty, and again not a lot of condiments to go with it.
The papaya salad fared better, with a decent kick of spice and crunchy (but somewhat burnt) peanuts.
The waitress had forgotten our order of tom yum gong but when we asked for it again, it came in a matter of minutes, so that was all forgotten and forgiven. The tom yum gong was the best out of the four, with a distinctive heat that was well balanced with a sourness which made it refreshing and palatable.
Next time, we'll try the other two Thai joints, plus there are quite a few more on the next street over, so really, if you have the time, walk a few more steps and find yourself a better meal.张贴
