when it comes to thai food, the majority must be thinking of samsen. my first thought for some fab thais, was also samsen when my family craved for thai nourishments one day, but second thought, why not try @chachawanhkg, an 8-year-old thai restaurant by JIA group?you can eye that pukkaaa thai ambience before walking into this authentic thai resto that has stayed with us for 8 years: the two-storeyed, pea-green coloured storefront and that thai-ish calligraphy hung above the gates.Pla Phao Glua

Pla Phao Glua is literally a. whole. seabass. crispy skin covered with salts makes it toooo salty. too overpowering. but the fish itself is quite tender. i'm quite sensitive to fresh/unfresh fishes and this one is certainly not a fish that is fresh enough to satisfy my fam's fish craves.
many foodies have tried the chicken thighs and i must say it's definitely worth a try! how odd that one is more tender than the other (really big contrast...), anyways the jhim jeaw (sauce) lifts it up to the next level - succulent and biteful. can imagine myself tearing off the meat like a chimpanzee in a thai forest.
the highlight of the meal - phad thai, the ultimate relish! the texture is quite complex, and taste is even more. sweet, garlicky, spicy, sour... even the tofu cubes aren't bland. sadly, the stir-fry rice noodles aren't significant because the ingredients are just too rich.
recording my first try of kanom dtoms! to be frank, i'm not sure whether it's good or bad but surely, the exterior is absolutely glutinous and inside are some pleasantly sweet coconut shreds. will try samsen's ones before giving it a rank xd.
