The right hint of Thailand - Vegetarian

Thailand Restaurant - Adliya 338

Today we had an amazing lunch. My non-blogging buddy and I have started this exercise regimen to keep up with our eating lifestyle and decided that today we'd reward ourselves.

It was decided to go to Thailand restaurant for lunch, which I've only visited once or twice in the past with barely any memory of taste. Today's selection were vegetarian and did not give into any disappointment. Instead of the tables that were in the common area, we decided to take an intimate room that had around 3 tables. It was very pretty and gave people some privacy. It felt great as I normally prefer to cross my legs and the table option allowed for it with some space below to allow your legs to dangle.

The service was not too bad however there was a moment when we only managed to call someone after maybe 3 bell rings. The food however was delish. My default for Thai food would always be red curry fish with coconut milk however this time we had veggie green coconut milk mildly spicy, which emphasized on the coconut milk. The fried tofu was a good addition and the soup mixed with the garlic rice just right. 

I actually forgot to mention that we started off with spring roll and thai toast appetizers. The spring rolls had clear thin noodles that played around with the texture and the toast were perfect to balance out strong flavors of the main dishes.

The final dish was the pad thai which also exceeded my expectations. When I normally have pad thai, it always feels dry and has this bitter taste however this was contrary to it. It may possibly not be authentic but I guess that all depends on individual preference.

The food was washed away with a glass of rose house wine that is sweet and not too bitter although I would have preferred to have Thai Ice tea with the food.

The food we had was good for three people. Definitely worth another visit.

All You can eat Thai and Chinese for BD 8

Shada Restaurant Stylish Thai & Chinese Cuisine - Zinj

I visited this restaurant a while ago and did not opt for the buffet. This time in a moment of spontaneity and a push from the waitresses, we decided to go for the buffet. In excitement, we jumped up and went straight to the table. However, it did not exactly meet my expectations. I think the buffet was a mix of Chinese and Thai. It was much more fried and oily and I wasn't able to find anything that had coconut milk.

However, the food was satisfactory, it's great for sea food lovers as the floor is open to prawns, crab and fish. They even had sushi, which I do not eat.

The buffet is available every Monday and Friday for dinner. It comes with one drink of soft drink.

Yummy not so yummy Thai - Salt to my Heart

Muay Thai - Juffair

While trying to decide what restaurant to go to, we stumbled across this little place in one of those turns from the American alley. We were debating on unfounded reasons as to whether we should go in or not but the cheap menu prices immediately convinced us that it might be a good idea.

The food was not exactly satisfying, and the servings too small for people like us. You get what you pay for so in that regards, I refrain from complaining. We ordered a set, an appetizer and a dish thinking it would satisfy us but it was just average. The taste of fast food service definitely lingered on our tongues and some of the dishes were too salty.




The interior was similar to Magic Wok, the little Chinese fast food place in the alley. It had those wobbly tables and unsanitary looking chairs that made you hesitant to sit on.

But it was a good experience. It may have been my first time experiencing such a hardcore fast food vibed Thai restaurant. I think the friend rice was not too bad and the veggie parts are always a delight.

Fried Rice + Fried Wonton + water = 2.8
Fish Cake = 1.9
Chinese Kale spicy = 2.4

Muay Thai gets a rating of 3.1!

Good Affordable Thai food in Budaiya

Lana Thai - Budaiya

So my blogging partner told me about this place she saw at the side of the main Budaiya road called Lana Thai and we thought of giving it a try since we don't normally hang at Budaiya. The road was not too easy to get too, or it could be we just didn't know the main way of getting there. Instead of parking at the paved parking closer to Lana's entrance, we brilliantly (sarcasm) drove over the rocky road towards the front-side of the restaurant.

The inside was quiet and cozy. I can't quite remember when we went here but it must have been a weekend night. You walk across a bar area and into another room with tables and spaces below to dangle your legs.

We ordered very little probably because we were full for something, or just broke. We chose a mixed vegetarian dish, some sort of chicken with soy sauce and flat won ton. My vague description is due to the fact that I'm writing this after a year. I barely remember the names but I definitely remember that the food were not too warm, they were affordable and the taste was worth a second visit.

Thickest Tom Yum soup I ever had!

Da Rae Jung Korean and Thai Cuisine - Adliya

We actually decided to go to this restaurant to try out the Korean food but could not decide what to order and so fell back to our comfort zone, which was the different Tom yum soup, egg, fish with cabbage and some either Japanese or Korean appetizers.
