The food served at this restaurant is North Thailand cuisine.
Overall I found them too spicy for my tastebuds but there were a few dishes that were delicious and not spicy.

To start off I had the special young coconut drink which turned out to be the best young coconut drink I have ever had because it was thirst quenching and also acted as a cooler.
The young coconut was made into icy slush with young coconut meat making it tasty as well as cooling.

The next dish was interesting, it was finely chopped fried pork pieces accompanied with ginger, calamansi, peanuts, chilis and onions which were fillers for the lettuce wrap.

This was fun to eat while the calamansi and ginger added a fiery and refreshing note to the wrap.
For a spicier experience, add the green chilis as well.

The beef slices were meaty and juicy which paired nicely with the papaya salad.
The glutinous rice was fun to eat and presented in a cute woven box.

Northeastern Thai style grilled chicken:
泰東北燒雞扒 $148

The chicken was juicy and tasty with a fine charred aroma.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spicy pork neck salad
香辣豬頸肉沙律 $78
I found this quite spicy and the pork neck slices were reasonably lean.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawns in Tamarind sauce
香炸虎蝦配酸子汁 $218
The prawns were springy and fresh but I felt that it needed more sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black pepper crab:
秘製黑椒炒蟹 $360
The crab was quite spicy, spiked with spices and black pepper.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled fish with herbs:
泰式香草燒魚 $188
It was nice how the fish skin just lifted off leaving delicate fish beneath it.
The fish was soft and juicy which was further enhanced by the zesty sauce provided.

Lamb filet with mango
香芒炒羊仔柳 $118
0 讚好
I didn't try the mango but the pieces of lamb were juicy and tender.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried young chayote plant:
清炒佛手瓜苗 $78
I was glad to see this on the menu because normally people consume Chayotes but not the plant itself.
It had a lovely dry crisp texture which is similar to the sweetpea plant but it was not stringy and does not have a grassy taste.
[I wonder how long this will be on the menu because of demand and supply issues.]
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Okra cooked in garlic:
蒜香炒毛茄 $78
The okra had a light taste and it had the usual viscous texture with a crunch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
seafood and pineapple fried rice:
鳳梨海鮮炒飯 $118
The fried rice was impressive, it was colourful and tasty with savoury notes and spices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pad Thai:
鲜蝦炒金邊粉 $88
The Pad Thai was a bit of a disappointment because it didn't really stand out in terms of taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Dessert:
甜品 泰式香芒椰汁糯米飯 $68
The purple glutinous rice was chewy and sticky.
It tasted really nice after more coconut sauce was added.
