Sunday Dinner with Cousin and Aunties

Over the long weekend, I met up with my cousin, Yi, her mother and the latter's sister for a dinner at Thai Express@Thomson Plaza. Due to a public holiday the next day, some of the eatery were pretty packed with people and after walking aimlessly at the equally small shopping centre, we opted for thai food.

There weren't many people at Thai Express when we first entered the shop and we got ourselves comfortable at the corner table. We took a long time before we decided what we wanted to eat.

For our appetisers, Yi suggested Thai Mango Salad (S$6.90). After mixing it and tried it, it was fiery! Never underestimate shredded mango and crushed nuts. Those who can't take spice, please refrain from eating this dish.

Then she even ordered Prawn Toast (S$6.90). It's actually prawn paste spread on top of the bread and subsequently, get toasted. It comes with a sweet and sour dip.

For the main dish, I had Beef Noodles (S$10.90). It comes with a pippin hot beef broth and inside the broth are stick noodles (which is like kway teow but the smaller version of it) and slices of beef. I had to put chilli flakes to spice the broth up otherwise, it has a very strong beefy taste. Apart from that, I couldn't finish all the beef slices.

At the end of the dinner, we were drinking more water than before because of the spiciness of the salad and other stuff. I think we all learnt our lesson. Never underestimate Thai food, even in Singapore.
