Shop Name: Sakon Thai
Location: 152 Serangoon North Avenue 1
Food Ordered: Salted egg fried rice, Mookata pork, Thai-style fried tofu, Red tom yum seafood soup, lime juice
Price: $33.60 total
Verdict: Fried rice- comes in big portion but taste average and a little too salty, cant really taste the salted egg too. Mookata pork- comes in big portion but it's relatively oily and dry. Tom yum soup - fresh prawns and fish slices, really spicy but I though it will be better with a little milk. Thai tofu- comes in big portion and taste authentic.
Return?: Gonna give it one more try for their fish dishes. (Seems like their key dish is fish but the tummy does not have enuff space for it to swim today)
Shop Name: Char Restaurant
Location: 363 Jalan Besar, Singapore 208994
Food Ordered: Double Roast(CharSiew&CrispyPorkBelly), 3eggs spinach
Price: $22, *cant rmb the price*
Verdict: Was there to try the roast meat - it was good but was quite expensive for the price. I was expecting to be jucier and the pork belly to be crackling crisp. The spinach could have been cooked longer for a softer texture.
Return?: Nope
Top - Butter pork ribs (medium size=8 pcs)
Bottom left - 3egg spinach
Bottom right - Drunken cockles
Not in picture - Tofu with golden mushroom, 2 bowls of rice. Total cost $38
Third visit this time. Must order their butter pork ribs and 3egg spinach. The pork ribs are generousy covered with milk powder. Spinach was cooked till the right texture - soft and chewy. Druken cockles was a new dish attempt for us - precooked cockles refrigerated then added with garlic, chilli padi and other condiments (ps it does not have strong alcohol taste although it is name as drunken). Another new dish attempt is tofu with golden mushroom- a puny salty though..
