JAI THAI- 26th August
Thanks to the interest group open up by our school! Tuesday was a figurerobics day with my colleague and three of us worked really hard to get rid of the calories that were stored in our body. It was merely an hour of doing aerobics and the best part was there's no instructor out there to train us. All you need was to play the video on the YouTube and follow their steps carefully.
This is the link of how Figureobics looked like! Its really a fun workout and involved all parts of your body. I sweat alot after the workout! My shirt was soaked with perspiration!!
After a good workout, one of my colleague brought us for some cheap Authentic Thai cuisine. Comparing to Nahkon Kitchen, I would vote for Jai Thai. At least you don't have to queue for 1 hour to get your seats! We were served straight once we stepped into the shop.
Jai Thai had some awesome set meals will alot of other varieties ala carte cruisine. Theres a Tom Yum Set, Green Curry Set, Phad Thai Set and Beef Noodles Set, Pineapple rice Set and Olive Rice Set; all of which comes with drinks and the dessert of the day.
Tang Hoon seafood salad ($6)
Such delightful appetizer to start off with.
I eeally enjoyed the Pad Thai ($5) here as well. It was the perfect balance of sweet, sticky and savoury. Also, the noodles were not clumped up together! I've read a few poor reviews on their fried rice being on the bland side, so I'll definitely recommend sticking to their Pad Thai or just plain rice. If you're thinking of getting the noodle sets, go for it only if you want a drink, the desserts of the day (which were two mango puddings in the adorable shape of small pineapples during our visit) were okay but seriously puny.
Green curry prawn ($5) comes with generous servings of ingredients especially brinjal. ! Prawn was also used so the meat is definitely tender.
It's always a dilemma for us when we ordered green curry (that will go well with white rice) vs the wish to try other staples such as pineapple or olive rice! So we ended up ordering white rice.
The Prawn Cakes ($2 each), served piping hot straight off the fryer, were juicy on the inside, crisp on the outside. Great stuff, but if you're picky like me, you'd have a bit of trouble picking out all the parsley bits.
Best dish goes to Pandan Chicken ($2) and we eat it everywhere. We can’t help but to compare it with Nakhon Kitchen. I feel the pandan chicken at Nakhon is much better because it is more fatty, hence more juicy. The pandan chicken here is deep fried, so you cannot really taste the smoky flavour nor the pandan aroma. And it is much tougher
Overall the food at Jai Thai is decent and with it wallet friendly price point.
