Thanks to Ninang Angela, I’ve finally stepped foot in Whampoa after having lived in Hong Kong for close to 3 years.
And thanks to Ninang Adi for suggesting Thai food, I am seriously giving up eating if served another Chinese meal.
Well, not really, but anyway…
Chicken soup with coconut milk – the chicken is dry and the soup a bit too watery
Pomelo salad – sweet and citrusy
Deep fried minced catfish with shredded green mango – I don’t really care for the catfish,
but the green mango salad rocks!
Thai palace king prawn – overcooked
Fried rice with seafood in pineapple – nothing too exciting except for the discovery
of a little insect friend hiding in it
Pad thai – tastes more like Chinese noodles tossed in sweet chili sauce. Has none of the tamarind tang and the salty fishiness of fish sauce found in the real deal.
Fried cabbage sprouts – crunchy and garlicky
Fried baby oysters with egg on sizzling plate – as you can see from the photo,
everybody can’t wait. This is delicious.
Green chicken curry – the chicken pieces are hard and dry, like chicken jerky.
The curry sauce is spicy and sweet. Yup, sweet.
Garlic bread – warm and crisp, for mopping up the curry
Sticky rice with mango – the coconut cream and sticky rice are not too sweet, the mango naturally very sweet. Easily my favorite dish of the meal.
