Tasty Thai serves a nasty good green curry chicken.
For $7, you get a big bowl of creamy rich green curry topped with boneless chicken chunks, eggplants and long beans.
We love that Tasty Thai gives their sliced eggplant the wok treatment first as it nicely caramelises the surface of each slice and accentuates its subtly sweet flavours by drawing out the moisture.
The luscious green curry is also fabulous over rice. The spice level has noticeably been reduced since their shift to AMK which makes it even better!
We just popped by over the weekend and the friendly Thai couple at Thai Tasty told us that there is a slight increase in business since the market hawker centre closed for renovations. However, more will give them a chance since their food is really great!
I have previously posted about a wonderful little Thai stall in the S-11 kopitiam in Bishan Central. Miss K and I are big fans of their wonderful unpretentious Thai food and were disappointed to find the stall emptied abruptly at the end of last year with a simple notice telling customers that they have shifted to AMK.
We visited their stall soon after their opening after CNY and struck a conversation with the friendly Thai couple running the stall. According to them, the rent for the Bishan stall was more than doubled to nearly $12k, making it hard to sustain their business. They have therefore shifted to a kopitiam nearer to their place. The problem is that amk ave 10 is a rather old housing estate and unlike s-11 in Bishan, there isn't much of a spillover effect from J8 or the Mrt station. Whilst rent is lower, the number of customers have dropped drastically though they can still cover their costs.
We love their pad thai. For $7, you get a generous portion of rice numbers topped with four big prawns which have been shelled, butterflied and deveined them. Flavourswise, it is subtly sweet and savoury with a good helping of wokhei.
This is one of the best plates of pad thai in town and we would really hate to see them go out of business so please drop by and support them!
