Wherever you are in Hong Kong, it is quicker from your location to travel to Nara Thai Cuisine than to fly to Bangkok.
Nara Thai Cuisine is a famous restaurant from Thailand that has received the best restaurant award every year since 2007!
How could I not try it when I was at Mimila earlier that day.
Began with the appetizers: Prawn carpaccio, Salmon carpaccio, Thai Fish cakes, Green mango salad with Thai sausage and North Eastern pork balls with lettuce.

I liked the way the pork salami was diced and made crispy as everything went together nicely in the [Green mango salad with Thai sausage].
To my surprise, the [North Eastern pork balls with lettuce] stole the show among the appetizers because they were crunchy on the outside while it was moist in the middle packed with fiery kick, hence the lettuce mellows the fierness.
There is always soup in the Thai Cuisine such as coconut chicken, tom yum kung etc.
Tried the tom yum kung which was refreshing with a prominent herb flavour while the lemongrass was not too strong.
The Soft Shell Crab Yellow Curry with Butterfly Pea Rice, Jasmine and Roti Prata is great for sharing, the best thing is the curry as it was thick yet light, great with the rice or roti.
The Grilled Pork Neck is also worth ordering as it was lean and meaty.
The Fried Butterfly Pea rice with Crispy Fish and Thai Herbs was really photogenic, while the egg turned out to be the star of the show as it was salted egg.
Nara is also famous for noodles especially the [Ayuthaya boat noodles with Beef] which come in a strong beefy broth infused with herbs.
They also had the [Rainbow soup rice noodles with fish fillet], another noodle that has become popular in HK.
For dessert, the [Nara Coconut ice cream with assorted Thai sweet condiments] was a brilliant experience as you are presented with all these sweet toppings to add on the coconut icecream.
Overall, I really like the food and hope there will be another branch coming to the city.
