Truly vibrant and refreshing

I came with one of my friends, and to start, I got the 'Thai Iced Tea Mojito,' which was super sweet and refreshing. It basically combines both iced tea and mojitos, and I really enjoyed this more than I thought! My friend got a 'Sapporo Beer.'

This pork belly was insanely addicting

We started our meal with the 'Fried Pork Belly' and 'Curry Puffs' as appetizers. The pork belly was so tender it melted in my mouth, and the sweet, tangy dipping sauce was a great match. The 'Curry Puffs' were full of curry flavor, and the crust was light and flaky. The filling had potato, carrot, pea, onion, and curry powder. My friend loved the puffs so much that they couldn't stop eating them!

Can't go to a Thai place without ordering some 'Curry Puffs'

For the main dishes, we both actually got the 'Drunken Noodles.' However, I got mine with beef, and my friend got it with chicken. This dish came with peppers, onion, chili paste, bamboo shoots, and Thai basil. I am all for dishes with flat noodles, so that was already a home run for me. Plus, the whole plate was massive! I did find this a bit spicy and a little more heat than I expected, but it was still good.

'Drunken Noodles' do not ever disappoint!

I had to, of course, make room for dessert and decided to venture out and try the 'Mango Sticky Rice.' This had sticky rice with sliced mango and coconut milk. I was very intrigued by all the colors, flavors, and combination of it all. It was definitely a good dessert to try something new, and I felt it was a new perspective on a sweet treat.

Loved all the colors and was fascinated by this 'Mango Sticky Rice' dish
