Basil Thai Kitchen (Paragon)

Since rebranding from Thái Express to Basil Thái (same group), prices have gone up, and EVERY dish has become more sweet: green curry, the fish sauce in the mango salad, even the red Tom yum soup. Why lah? The iPad ordering system continually prompts you to order more, not only noodles for your soup, but entirely new dishes like stuffed chicken wing, etc. And they only have bottled water! At $38 per pax, I’m not returning.

Moderately spiced grainy fried rice with pieces of fish, squid and prawns. Pretty good together with a spritz of fresh lime.

4 munchies: One of the must-order dishes at Basil Thai Kitchen, this plate of prawn omelette was so fluffy and aroi that I could finish it with a bowl of piping hot steamed white rice. Though there was hardly any taste of prawns, the omelette was deep-fried to golden brown and crisp perfection with added crunch and fragrance from the basil leaf toppings. Be sure to dip the egg in the mild Sriracha that comes with it. #Burpproved
