my recent trip to bangkok during the thai coup didn't really satisfy my cravings for thai food. it only makes me crave for more! for some reason, thai tomyums are unlike tomyums we usual see in singapore. its clear in colour but the fragrance from the lemon grass and the rest of the herbs makes it so spicy and yummy. however, i realise one funny thing in bangkok. there seem to be more japanese restaurant than tradisional thai ones! is there really that many of a japanese there? none the less, the japanese cuisine there is also a class above from the rest. okie lets not sway from my original topic of thai food. in order to satisfy my hunger for thai food, me and MT went to "thai express" for a quick fix. its been quite a while since i last been there. the interiors have change quite a bit and so is the menu with plenty more delicious varieties to choose from. their new addition... soft shell crab and cray fish. but i didn't order any of them.. sheesh.... me and MT order our usual tomyum glass noodles with fish and his thai green curry chicken with white rice. oh, b4 i proceed, i also notice one weird thing in the menu. "red tomyum" and the normal tomyum. i thought there is only 1 kind of tomyum?! so i ask the waitress what's the difference? and to her knowledge, its the spicy-ness that sets the red tomyum and the normal one apart. so much for the name! true enough the tomyum noodles that i ordered looked very much like fish sliced noodles rather than tomyum noodles. the soup looks so clear,one can mistaken it for something else....their latest promotion also includes a free serving of the tauhu squares for a minimum charge of $15 on your citibank card. for $8.90 a bowl of green curry with rice and $9.90 for the tomyum noodles, the tauhu squares are pretty much complimentary for us. thai mango salad for $5.5o seems pretty reasonable for the portion and taste. bottomless ice cold water is more than enough to quench the thirst. so here you go, my order for the day.
