tried the "singapore chicken rice" at Boon Tong Kiat at pracha uthit (towards ramkamhaeng). it is a branch of the Thong-Lor "singapore hainanese chicken rice"
nothing to rave about. had a bowl of bak kut teh, chai sim w oyster sauce, achar..
1) chicken - not bad. lose to chicken rice stalls in sg kopitiams.
2) chai sim w oyster sauce - acceptable.
3) achar - ermm. got that standard achar sour smell lo.
4) bak kut teh - sibei jialat. more like bak kut nam (water).
chilli sauce is not nice. din get to eat with the minced garlic. have dark soya sauce la.. thats all.
not satisfied, i went further to the 24 hrs joint (it sells bak kut teh as well). had tim sum and bak kut teh (again).
1) tim sum - limited choice. small sizes. 1 plate abt 20-30thb.
2) bak kut teh - has slightly more smell than the 1st one. but still loses to any sg kopitiam bak kut teh stall.
duno why thai shops cannot put in more flavour into their bak kut teh meh?? pepper + garlic or more herbs.. basically more flavour la.. its so unlike thais to eat something so bland..
later i going to the Krung Seafood opposite my house. damn hungry now. waiting for my babysitter to come and takeover shift..
btw, was reading this thread again and saw that someone mixed up this Krung Seafood with Kuang Seafood. Kuang Seafood is at Pinklao near Central Pinklao and Major cineplex. both of them looks the same.. but well, pinklao one is cheaper.
hope i have a nice dinner after 2 failed tries at bak kut teh.
