It is a small cosy restaurant at level 1 of The Odeon Katong. They have only been opened at this location since late June 2013. They have another branch located in 'The Foundry' at 18 Mohammed Sultan Road.

Do make reservations at 63466274 if you are heading over at peak hours like Lunch or Dinner time or going in a large group. Do also expect to wait a little for your food to come during peak hours (especially during weekends) as the restaurant is always packed during the peak hours . Good food are always worth the wait right? :) Also, they do not have service charge or GST. They also do not accept NETS payment (there's a POSB atm just beside the building) nor do they serve ice water. Credit card payment (VISA/MASTERCARD) available for spendings of $30 and above.

The menu has a huge variety of Thai Food and also Thai Desserts. They have $8 set lunches that comes with a small bowl of Tom Yum Soup (seafood) and a drink. Set lunches are available on weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 12pm- 3pm. Really value for money!

I have tried many of their regular Thai dishes and these are a few of my personal favourites!　おいしい！
1. Spicy Grilled Pork - I love this! And I love it with extra spice :x Grilled to perfection with the right sauce just makes it really savoury.
2. Tom Yum Noodles Soup - I always order this with Ma-Ma noodles instead of the normal noodles as I personally feel that it tastes better this way! Their Tom Yum Soup base is really amazing to produce the noodles soup with this taste.
3. Pineapple Fried Rice- This tastes really good with extra chicken floss!
4. Claypot Tung Hoon Prawn- Tung Hoon marinated with pepper sauce with prawns. Love it with extra pepper!
5. Thai Style Steamed Seabass- If you are into spicy and sour thai sauce, this is the fish to order! The sauce is absolutely tasty for those who like the thai seafood sauce. Warning: Might be too spicy for some so it's better to request for sauce on the side.
6. Glass Noodle Salad- This glass noodle salad has the same seafood sauce as the thai style steamed seabass and that's one of the reasons why I like this dish too. It comes with generous portions of seafood and minced meat. Do also request for sauce on the side if you are afraid that it might be too spicy for you.
7. Tom Yum Fried Rice - As I am a Tom Yum lover, I love the Tom yum fried rice as much as the Tom Yum Soup!
8. Olive Fried Rice - Did not dare try this at first cause I thought the Olive taste will be really strong but i was wrong! Turned out to be one of my favourite rice dishes!

Other than the regular Thai dishes, they also have Mookata (Thai Style steamboat) set. It is available at $39/ a set for 2 pax. Really love the soup after cooking for awhile as the essence of the BBQ-ed meat goes into the soup! Not very healthy but who cares! haha. The meat is well marinated and the portion is just nice for 2 if you go with white rice! I LOVE MY MEAT! It is really enjoyable to have my meat and just sit around while CW does the cooking :D

Mookata set for 2 at $39

I LOVE MY MEAT.
Comes with crab stick too but I requested to change it to something else as I don't really like crab sticks.

And the cooking starts!

Need to stop eating so much!

Braces update! (14 weeks)

Here's my update of the progress of my braces! Doesn't look like there's much changes but I think in 2 month's time, all my teeth will be in place. There's a tooth left that's still not connected to my braces yet. A spring is in place to make space, it will be hooked on by next month so i'm really happy with how it's going! I have a rubber band in a really awkward position that's driving me crazy but I know it's going to do good. 

I can't wait for straight teeth! Happy!

New HATer SnapBack !

I got myself a new HATer SnapBack! This time, this snapback shows my love for all things Japan.
Adding to my collection is the new Red Geisha HATer SnapBack. Really LOVE the prints! Both SnapBacks have the Japan feel! Can't wait to see what other designs HATer can come up with.
