Thai Flavour

The food tastes very fresh.
The cost is very reasonable.
Really a great place.

I have a thing for Thai food, oh, and for tiny food-​smelly restaurants, hidden away from main streets, so I was delighted to discover what I know call my ‘little Thai’.
A friend of mine first introduced it to me. She’d been having her take aways there for dinner and suggested we try one day. Since then I have been a regular to this place. In fact it is conveniently located for me, at a corner just at the end of Amoy Street as you come from Hennessy Road. It doesn’t look very exciting from outside and even a little run down, but that’s part of its charm.
The place is run by four lovely Thai ladies whose kitchen is open to the (rather small) dinning space. The dishes come quite quickly but don’t expect them to rush to take your order. The atmosphere is laid back. There are around 6 tables that accommodate for twenty people maximum.
Now, the thing I go there for is the food… or should I say the curries and the Tom Yum Soup. If you go for curries, I would suggest you try their pork red or chicken green from the dinner menu. They come in big bowls with plenty of meat and vegetables but no rice (I don’t eat rice). I assure you it makes for a big meal and it’s just delicious. The curries are mild but you can ask them to make them spicier if you like. I would also recommend you go there at the end of the day because I have noticed their sauces taste better then (they might cook them in the morning and let the sauces soak in the flavor of the spices…).
Their prices are very reasonable (around 50 – 60 per curry dish) and they don’t have service charge. It’s never very crowded, as opposed to the rest of the places on that same street.
Their opening times vary, but they close early in the evening. My little Thai is definitely not a place for a fancy dinner or where I would take a date on the first day but more of a local dinning place with tons of charm and it’s great value for money. I have only had a better Thai curry and that was recently, at Thai Basil in Pacific Place. I feel like I should write a review about this place too.
