This casual eatery boasts authentic Thai food by a a Thai chef and does not disppoint. Dining here here was a rollercoaster ride of strong flavours ranging from spicy and sour to sweet and milky.
Pad thai ($10) 🍜 8/10
Silky noodles that weren't too oily combined with a wok hey and nutty flavour. Such perfect comfort food.
Sea bass with sweet & sour sauce ($25) 🐟 7/10
The limey sourness of this dish overwhelmed its sweetness. Didn't eat much of this since I don't like steamed fish but I heard it's fresh and good haha
Tofu prawn omelette ($12) 🍳8/10
The incredibly wispy egg was sooo goood when you poured Tom yum all over it. The tofu is quite subtle like tahu telor and the prawns didn't come in big pieces but if you like omelettes, you won't regret ordering this zhi char classic.
Red Tom Yum Soup ($7) 🍛 8/10
Not as spicy as it's fiery red colour, but still quite a feisty dish! Both the Tom yums were full of flavour and spices that will completely satisfy any craving for thai food.
Tom Ka soup ($7) 🥛9/10
This is like tom yum with coconut milk, which added a creamy dimension to the classic soup dish.
Green curry chicken ($9) 🐔 6/10
The chicken was well marinated (NOT tasteless inside) and reasonably tender but not all that unique.
Pork collar ($12) 🍖 9/10
This was really crispy and perfectly sweet! Really enjoyed the juiciness of each pork strip as well.
Mango salad ($6) 🥗 7/10
The mango salad was crunchy and refreshing. Also very sour as usual. Not much to say because this is such a simple dish. 😅
Red ruby ($3) 🍨 7/10
This milky and icy dessert was a perfect way to end the spicy meal. But the icy bits were unfortunately a bit chunky and was quite hard to chew.
Thai iced milk tea ($3) 🥃 8/10
Thai iced milk tea is really sweet of course but this drink had the added bonus of a hint of jasmine.
