Quite and homely ambience.

Sawadee Thai Cuisine Menu along with prices.
As there were not a lot of customers, we were served our food within 10 minutes of ordering.

Hot & Spicy Seafood Soup (Tom Yam Talay) $8 |
The
Hot & Spicy Seafood Soup (
Tom Yam Talay) was served in a claypot.

Hot & Spicy Seafood Soup (Tom Yum Talay) $8
|
The waitress served the Tom Yam Soup into small bowls. Nice gesture of good customer service.
The soup was clear, slightly cloudy and did not look spicy. It was not fiery red in colour nor was there any chilli oil. But upon tasting it, it was indeed spicy and sour with lemon-grass and galangal fragrant. Ingredients include prawns, fish and mushrooms. The prawns were firm and fresh!
|
Pineapple Rice (Khao Ob Sup Pa Rot) $8 |
When this dish arrived, I was not convinced that it was the Pineapple Rice I ordered as it was different from the picture displayed in the menu. Had to ask the waitress twice to confirmed that it was Pineapple Rice.
The Pineapple Rice (Khao Ob Sup Pa Rot) was fried with eggs and diced pineapples. After which, it was served with Pork Floss and Prawns. Prawns were again very fresh; bright pink and firm meat. There were very few pieces of diced pineapples, as a result the pineapple flavour was lacking. Despite that, I like this dish. It was well fried! It should be renamed fried rice =)
|
Rice Noodle Fried Thai Style with Seafood (Kuay Teow Phad Thai) $10 |
This is actually Phad Thai, Thai version of fried kway teow. It was fried with egg, bean sprouts, dried tuakwa and prawns. It was served with chilli powder, grounded peanut bits and lime. Tasty and fragrant dish. I suspect that they used salted fish and preserved vegetables as their ingredients too.
|
Pandan Chicken (Kai Hor Bai Toey) $7.50 |
After having tried the
Pandan Chicken at
Ah Loy Thai, I was determined to order it over here.
The Pandan Chicken cost $2.50 each. Sawadee's version had its chicken mixed with corn and spices wrapped in pandan leaves and deep fried. I was disappointed as it was not as tasty as I hope. The chicken was not well marinated and the pandan flavour was not infused in the chicken. '
Overall, Sawadee Thai Cuisine serves quite good Thai Cuisine items. Moreover, the items are quite affordable (other than pandan chicken). In terms of ambience, it is quiet and cozy. Suitable for gatherings when one has craving for Thai food.
