Entrance

Menu. Good looking and clear in content but a bit unorganized. We got used to relying on the waiters more than the menu by now.

Inside. All religions & cultures displayed. 

Tom Yum (sea food). Very good but spicy. Felt the spice reach my brain but i couldn't stop eating because it was tasty.

Neat cutlery. 

Spring Rolls. Excellent and pure Thai. 

Beef Salad. Again, too spicy although we warned them earlier about it. We couldn't enjoy it because of the spice but it tasted good.

Grilled Prawns. I was against this order because it looked like cockroaches in the menu. But we went for it and it was not bad. Regular grilled taste. 

Crabs with oyster and ginger. Yummy. Well cooked.

Shrimps with cashew nuts. We were 5 people and they got us 5 shrimps. We barely got to taste it! But nice one..

We ordered Chicken Curry but they got us Shrimp Curry. We asked them to change it so they removed the shrimps and replaced them with chicken. We found a tail later and that's how we know. Anyhow, it tasted good because it didn't have strong coconut taste which i hate.

Beef with oyster sauce. It was surprisingly good. The beef is usually not so tender in those low class places but this was tender.

Sweet & Sour Chicken. Silly. 

We ordered vegetable fried rice but they got us sea food rice!! It wasn't the usual fried rice we are used to. It was yellowish with herbal taste. I loved it.

Pad Thai Noodles. Again, we ordered it with vegetables only but they got it with SEA FOOD. Good taste but we got fed up with sea food by then.

The waitress didn't speak English at all but there was another guy who did the translation to her. After all those wrong orders we realized that his English was bad too!! I'd love to try their soup again with less spice and enjoy it to the max. The place was very clean and the price was fair for this big order. Each paid BD6.5. The food was tasty but the low rating was because of the three wrong orders. The atmosphere was not so nice too.

Recommended.
