Food Review: Casuarina Curry @ Thomson

I have eaten here once before. But I did not really like the prata. I would not say it is bad that you should not have your meal here. I would say it is different. I hate crispy pratas. My prata should be soft in the middle and crispy on the outside. But my mum loves really crispy pratas. So it really depends on what you like.

Recently went here with a bunch of friends. Decided to take some photos and do up a review. Service last time was not good. But this time, the people were more attentive and came to take orders whenever we signaled for them. Definitely improved from last time. And the waiter who served us, absolutely awesome. We had like 10 people at our table and had ordered many different dishes and different drinks and this guy remembered every single thing we ordered. Not only that, he remembered who had ordered what! Amazing.

So I ordered a Chicken Murtabak. It was tasty but the minced meat inside was quite little. More filling would make it marvelous. My girlfriend ordered one egg prata and a kosong prata. The kosong was crispy. She liked it but I didn't. The curry was not the best. A little bland. Overall, still a good place for prata if you like crispy prata. There is a great variety of dishes. Many seats to choose from. Affordable price.

Food Review: Sakhon Thai @ Serangoon North

Went to this Thai restaurant at Serangoon North with my girlfriend just to try their food. The place itself is big and spacious. It is not air-conditioned but it was airy and not too stuffy. The staffs were alright, they did their job. I went quite early, so there wasn't any queue and managed to get a seat without waiting.

I ordered Pork Green Curry, Chicken Minced Meat with rice, Thai Iced Tea and Red Ruby. The green curry was splendid. Pleasingly creamy and superb flavor. There was a good amount of meat in it as well. The minced meat rice was heavenly. The minced meat was stir fried to perfection and it tasted really awesome. We really enjoyed the minced meat. The Thai Iced tea was just so so. If you had tried out the Thai Iced tea in Bangkok, you would understand. It is supposed to be creamy and really sweet but I guess they have to change the recipe a little to suit the Singapore taste buds. But too me, it was a little too bland. It could be better. The Red Ruby was out of this world. It was one of the best I had. I think more coconut milk could be added though. The excellent point about their Red Ruby is that the ice shavings are absolutely fine. It was like snow. The best I have had so far. Totally love the Red Ruby here.

Pricing wise, it was not very cheap but not expensive as well. Definitely not the usual $3 a plate price from Zhezha stalls. But no regrets. It was a satisfying meal. Go ahead and try but be prepared to wait in line because there will be a queue during the peak hours in the evening.

UPDATE: I went here a 2nd time and would like to officially "not recommend" this place due to sky-high prices with puny portions, lousy service staff.
