Recently I had the opportunity to attend a food tasting event at ParaThai, which is a new addition to Paradise Group's list of restaurants. As one of my favourite restaurants, Paradise Dynasty, is from Paradise Group as well, I've had quite a high expectation for ParaThai. >_<
Let's find out if ParaThai has met my expectation! :)
First, let's start off with beverage! :)
Thai Iced Tea (SGD$4.20)
I was very surprised when the tea was served because you can clearly three different layers!! It consists of Thai tea leaves, brown sugar, gula melaka (coconut sugar), carnation milk and syrup!! Cool lehh!! :)
Once thoroughly stirred, the tea would look like this :) It's very fragrant but at the same time very sweet which is nice when you first drink it but as time past, I find the sweetness gets accumulated and overpowering. Definitely a must try but I will certainly request for lesser sugar added in my next visit >_<
Pandan Leaf Rice (SGD$1.20)
First off we have Pandan Leaf Rice!! The rice is slightly greenish and has a very fragrant taste to it :)
Homemade Minced Pork in Rice Noodle Wrap (SGD$6.90 for 4 pieces)
Yummy minced meat with rice noodle wrap that has a tinge of sweetness for appetizer. Nice!! :DD
Homemade Pandan Leaf Chicken (SGD$8.90 for 4 pieces)
I personally find this chicken oily but yet a little dry on the inside. Fragrant but...didn't make it to my favourite list though.
Tom Yum Soup with Sea Prawns - Tom Yam Goong (SGD$19.90 per pot)
THIS IS DA BOMB FOR ME!!
Spicy with a little bit of creaminess, suuuuuper shiok!!
And I ended up having another bowl cuz one bowl of shiokness is just not enough hahahhaa
This Tom Yam Goong is a must-try people!!
Steamed Seabass with Lime and Chilli (SGD$29.90)
The fish meat is fresh, soft, tender with a tinge sweetness hidden in the sourness and spiciness from the lime and chilli :)
"Crying Tiger" BBQ Beef Steak served with Homemade Sauce (SGD$16.90)
As usual for beef, I can't give you my opinion on it but according to the other foodies that were there, they said that the meat was chewy haha
Traditional Thai Green Curry Chicken (SGD$12.90)
It is the best to have the Green Curry together with the pandan leaf rice!! It gives a whole new spice and fragrance altogether :) Love it <3
Stir-Fried Mini Asparagus with Egg Beancurd and Mushroom (SGD$12.90)
It's good to have some crunchy Asparagus to balance out your diet along with all the protein from the meat hahaha. :)
Stir-Fried Pork with Basil Leaves (SGD$11.90)
Another dish that goes very well with rice! A just-nice spicy level with a flavourful taste along with the basil ^_^
Roast Duck in Red Curry with Pineapple (SGD$14.90)
This dish is slightly more spicy than the green curry in my opinion but the roast duck brings out a heavier flavor with a tinge of sweetness form the pineapple. :)
Sweet Tapioca with Coconut Milk (SGD$4.90)
I'm personally not a big fan of tapioca because my stomach gets easily bloated when I have tapioca or glutinous rice and any other heavy / filling ingredients. This dish will be suitable as a dessert if you don't order too much main dishes.
Deep-Fried Banana Fritters served with Honey (SGD$5.90)
Crispy and natural slight sweetness from the banana! Along with an additional layer of sweetness with the honey, it makes this dessert more yummy :)
Mango Sticky Rice served with Coconut Milk (SGD$6.90)
Not a big fan of sticky rice in general so no comment on that but the mango was fresh and sweet :) The bomb is the next one coming!
Red Ruby served with Jackfruit and Coconut Milk (SGD$5.90)
My favourite dessert among all is definitely this red ruby!! It's my first time that I've ever tasted rubies that are crunchy and furthermore, these red rubies are handmade every single day and therefore, there is a limited number of bowls which they can sell everyday. That's not all! The coconut milk has a flowery hint of flavour to it too which makes it very different from normal red rubies!! Seriously major major love and I'm definitely going back for more of this red ruby :D
---------------
That's all to this food review! It's been a sumptuous meal and most of the dishes I would have to say met my expectations haha. My absolute favorite definitely has to go to the Tom Yam Goong for main course and Red Ruby for dessert! #omnomnomnom ^_^
