Prawn Green Curry

Actually wanted to go to sushi train for dinner, but due to the waiting time so we drove back and decided to give this a try.. Used to be located in Aspley in a Caravan Complex area as their main restaurant but now have moved here to Clock Corner which is a mini shopping complex next to a train station...

Prawn Crackers

Got given out prawn crackers at the start of the meal with water as well.. Waiter was friendly and nice...

Chicken Tom Yum

To start off, had Chicken Tom Yum soup which is a spicy and sour soup with lemongrass and mushrooms and your choice of meat (we chose chicken)...

Second, had the coconut prawns... basically deep fried prawns with a batter and shredded coconut around it..

Coconut Prawns

dipping sauce was supposedly supposed to be sweet chilli, but for me, it did not fit the coconut prawns as it didn't have that sweet chilli taste at all, or maybe they tried to westernize the sweet chilli sauce too much losing the aroma and the taste of authentic sweet chilli...

And now, for the mains...

Prawn Green Curry

The Prawn Green curry is basically green curry in coconut milk base with assorted vegetables... I do have to say that this was a tad spicier than how I thought it would be, but oveall it was good... I hardly ever order curries with seafood, and usually stick with meats but this time, thought something different wouldn't hurt...

Masaman Beef Curry

Second main, the Masaman Beef curry, this is a mild beef curry seasoned with tamarind, palm sugar and coconut milk with potatoes and peanuts...

Masaman Beef Curry

I actually liked this dish however I thought that the potatoes could have been cut into half as how it was given.. but other than that, the combination of soft peanuts and the soft beef did this dish well...

I was already full by then, but then D wanted to try the dessert and ordered the sticky rice.. the sticky rice was not too bad, but the combination of cream and strawberries and ice cream and the colourful dots didn't do any good for it... It just looked as if the dessert was meant to be for the young ones with all the pretty colours and presentation...
