i like this restaurant..
the atmosphere, the staff, & most important, the food!! it's a great place for gathering..

Thai Basil Appetizer Platter $19.95
Prawn cakes 2, Fish cakse 4, Spring Rolls 2, Chicken or Beef Satay 4
..it's perfect for 4 people.. coz everything has 4 pieces in it.. & all yummy.. i also like the salad (marinated carrots & radish 醃漬白蘿蔔) in the middle..

Shrimp Paste Fried Rice $11.95
Fried rice in shrimp paste, served with green mango, pork, onions, chili
..we love this!! they didn't mix the ingredients, but placed them on top of the rice, which was good coz we could just take whatever we eat.. (there is 指天椒 on the side as well.. very spicy).. the fried rice wasn't too oily (不太油膩)..

"Pad Woon Sen" $9.95
Clear vermicelli stir-fried with chicken, eggs, tofu, green onions, & bean sprouts, served with peanuts & fresh lime
..this one was ok.. it had a hint of sweet taste 微甜 (probably they marinated the chicken with a sweet sauce).. kinda funny..
"Tung Choi" Water morning glory in Malaysian Shrimp Paste $9.95
..通菜幼嫩, 馬拉盞香口惹味..

the waitress was nice..
we wanted to order the Mango Sticky Rice as dessert, but she told us that mango was not good that night, so she suggested we order something else.. i appreciated her being honest, or else we would be so disappointed to have a not-so-good dessert..
