Thai Express

 My tummy is  growling again.. :D  And it's  time to go jalan-jalan cari makan as i got a partner to accompany  me. An off day  for me..means  no cooking ! Wow weee... Thinking for something simple and not to heavy  but sedap of course.. I had Thai  food in my mind.
 Located along Holland Village Market and Food Centre , Thai Express is not difficult to  find. We came as early as 11 o'clock but the shop is still close.  So we decided to strolled around the famous  Holland V .  It is one of the most happening eating out  area in central Singapore and popular place for expatriate to hang out.
 I decided to had Phat Thai here which is  a Thai's  famous fried noodle rich with  sour, sweet and nutty taste.  This unique combination really boost the noodle's flavor and it's really delicious. 
 I tried Phat Thai for the first time at one of the Thai restaurant in Dallas and loved it. Eventhough Thai Express is not a pure traditional dish but from my point of view the food here  is okay. 
 Since we're here in Thai Restaurant i ordered Thai Tea , the strong orange beverage and it is very sweet. Quite similar with our 'teh tarik' back  home but this beverage they added some spices such as star anise, tamarind, cardamon as an optional. Very interesting drink if you dare to try !

Authentic Ayam Penyet Ria

Ayam Penyet Ria    Add  # 05-22, 14 Scott Road Singapore 228213


  Actually I never wanted to try Ayam Penyet given its funny  name. Despite that, i finally decided to give it a try. I always wonder how the flatted or smashed chicken would look like.  I'm curious and eager to try. We went to Ayam Penyet Ria  at Far East Plaza on Scott Road. The shop is located on level 5 of the mall. 

 Wow! The  meat was so tender and crispy from the outside and juicy inside. I just loved the fried crumbs! ^^
 The signature dish was served as a set. You can get  tempe  and selection of vegetables as kangkung and cabbage plus super hot sambal belacan. Phew! Get ready your tissue guys! :) 

We were lucky to get there early as a moments later there were a  long queue outside the shop. 
Judging by the crowd it looks like fair amount of people like to eat here. The patrons seems like a good mix of people on the go and the food served provided them what they need . All in all, the shop provided good value at a yummy taste.



Open hours is at 11:30 am to 10 pm.
