My cousin and her husband had recently come from the States for holiday and looked for Asian food in Happy Valley. Attracted by the wooden panel and the French window décor on the outside, we went in for dinner. We were seated near the window beside the vase of flowers, whereby we could enjoy the street views as well.
Among the food we ordered, we recommended Catfish and mango salad, prawn and fish cakes, pineapple fried rice, three flavour fish, green curry beef and the Mussaman chicken. The catfish was fresh and crispy; the prawn and fish cakes tasty and tender; the pineapple fresh and juicy, definitely not “recycled”; the fish went well with sweet, sour and spicy flavours, which increased our appetite; and the green and Mussaman curry not too spicy, just as what we requested when the order was taken. My cousin’s husband enjoyed the food very much because he could not find such high quality and authentic Thai food in the States.
It was an excellent dining experience in this little but cozy restaurant and the service was professional and personal. The dishes came one after another and we were not forced to swallow everything in a minute. Since it was cold on that day, my cousin coughed a bit. The restaurant owner gave him a pot of hot lemongrass tea, which, as he recommended, has been an ancient remedy for curing chest congestion, colds and coughs in Thailand. It really worked as it immediately soothed his throat!
Since there are only 24 seats in the restaurant, it is advisable to reserve the table for dinner. If you cannot find a table, you can order the food to be taken away. Besides, the price of set lunch is very reasonable with a variety of choices.
