Not a bad lunch but I found the dishes rather sweet and mild. No complaints from the kids though. JT even made a couple of dips into the chilli sauce - AMAZING.
Anyway, the day was blazing HOT, so we started off with some cool drinks.
Cool and tangy lime juice
Ice chocolate - kinda strange drink for a Thai joint
Then the mains came. PT, as usual, polished off his Black Pepper Softshell crab within minutes. "Not much crab taste" was his verdict .
Black Pepper Soft Shell Crab
My Pineapple Seafood Rice was next. Very nice and the portion big enough for FT and I to share. The prawns and sotong were expecially well done, perfect level of chewiness.
Yummy! Should have more pineapples, though
JT had the chicken soup and rice. I like the soup, very light tasting, but always thought it was a waste to order it in a Thai restaurant. Gimme fish sauce, green curry and Thai spices man!
The egg drops go very well with the chicken slices
We also had PT's favourite dish, stuffed chicken wings. The ones we had were juicy and the basil marinate was very appetising - just made you go back for more. FT whacked one whole wing to herself.
One nice juicy wing
All in all, lunch was about $55. Service was good too. The waitress and waiter who attended to us were warm and friendly. They were attentive too, giving extra serviettes when FT was chomping down her wing. This is GEMS for you.
