Thailand is famous with “Tiger Show”. What exactly is that? By definition, it is a streak of wild tigers performing on stage, sorta circus alike. I know what is in your mind! No, it is not Tiger Woods shows to be exact.
Okok.. I think you should Google it to get the right definition as I am too innocent to share it here. Beside that “show”, Thailand is also famous with Thai Cuisine.
When you travel abroad for a long time, you will have this “miss home” moment. Although, my soil water (direct translation from Malay, “tanah air” a.k.a. Home) is not Thailand per say, I have been longing for hot and spicy food.
In the middle of hustle bustle Shanghai, I managed to locate this Thai restaurant, Simply Thai. What more can I ask for when fate bring me there! No doubt tom yum came across my mind straight away.
I mustn’t say much about the restaurant itself as Simply Thai is quite a famous franchise around. As soon as I was greeted with sawadeekap (hello in English), I was served with complimentary prawn crackers as appetizer.
Like I said, tom yum is a must. So, don’t be surprise if the waiter, who I suspect does not have Thai bloodline ask if you want tom yum soup as this is one of their chef best recommendation.. duh..
To play a prank, normally I will start to use my broken Thai language to respond to them. The puzzle look on their faces is priceless. In split second, you will know my prediction that they are not Siamese is right.
Whenever I go to any Thai restaurant, Som Tam (papaya salad) cannot escape from my order list. As much as I consider myself as carnivore, this salad really tames me.
While busy browsing through the menu, my bionic nose senses very nice fragrant from opposite table. No.. they are not farting.. but I spotted Deep Fried Chicken in Spices.
Without hesitation, I ordered this and coincidently Pat Thai (Thai Noodles) is just right there, whispering me to order it. Not a bad choice for my dinner and I am quite satisfied with this meal considering it only costs less than RMB 200 (~RM 100).
