On the 3rd floor of Aeon Mall Dream City, there's a fairly large Thai restaurant in the food court. They have three main dishes available. Make sure to confirm with the staff about vegetarian options. The stir-fried rice noodles have a sweet flavor, while the fried thin noodles are slightly spicy and I personally find them more delicious. The fried rice is quite bland, so I wouldn't recommend it! I personally don't like Thai rice, which is long and thin. 😂 The Thai milk tea can be ordered just right, not too sweet.
During a weekday lunchtime visit to Very Thai - Fuxing Branch, I was able to sit down without any reservation. The high triangular sloped roof decoration and pure white tabletops made the entire dining experience very comfortable, and I think Wacang has the edge in terms of food.
Dishes
The meal included:
Except for the moon shrimp cakes, the other dishes were super suitable for pairing with rice. Very Thai also uses Thai rice; the grains are long and distinct, making it delicious! (Not trying to compare too much! But I feel that the Thai rice from Wacang tastes a little bit better.)
Environment
The restaurant's Thai-style decor is quite atmospheric, with modern walls and furnishings. The high sloped roof gives it a spacious feel. The space is bright and roomy, with comfortable seating and soft lighting, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends. The Fuxing Branch is conveniently located near Zhongshan Junior High School Station on the MRT. The overall environment is clean and tidy, providing a comfortable experience.
Service
The servers were relatively friendly, but I don't have much of an impression of them. The dishes arrived at a good pace, in about 5-10 minutes, without making me wait too long. Although some dishes didn't quite suit my taste, the servers maintained a professional attitude.
Taiwanese Thai Cuisine is located on Fuhua 7th Street in Yongkang, Tainan. The decor is simple, with a touch of tropical flair, giving off a vibe of affordable exotic cuisine. This time, we ordered the Pepper and Chicken Bowl set, the Thai-style Chicken Nuggets special, and their signature Moon Shrimp Cakes.
The Pepper Chicken Bowl was ordered primarily because I didn't know what it was. It tastes like a version of the salty chicken from the night market, enhanced with peppercorn and a sour flavor. Overall, it was surprisingly good. The chicken thigh meat was tender, and the white rice paired well, but at 180 NT dollars for the set, the price is a bit steep.
The Thai Chicken Nuggets offer much better value for money. This set is 120 NT dollars and also includes soup and simple side dishes, but the chicken surpassed expectations. The skin was crispy, and the inside was juicy, complemented by a sweet and sour sauce, making it feel somewhat like a Southeast Asian version of KFC.
Finally, the Moon Shrimp Cakes were the best dish of the meal. The pastry was crispy, and the shrimp filling was substantial, paired excellently with their sauce. The portion was not large, but still acceptable.
Overall, it’s a decent restaurant. Dishes like the Pepper Chicken Bowl are innovatively flavored but overpriced, but the performances of the chicken nuggets and shrimp cakes were impressive. If I visit again, I might try more of their fried dishes or soups.
This restaurant doesn't seem to be highly recommended online. It was unexpectedly found by my friend. After looking at the introduction, I thought it was quite nice, and I managed to make a reservation online smoothly. Thankfully, I booked in advance because the place was actually fully booked!
As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are immediately attracted by the aroma of grilled food. It's not greasy; instead, it's a charm that opens up your taste buds! After directly ordering via QR code, the chefs will showcase their culinary skills right in front of you.
I ordered many side dishes, but I highly recommend…
❤️ Yum Som-O
This dish has a base of pomelo with Thai shrimp on top! It's complemented by a local shrimp paste, resulting in a flavor that is sour and salty with a hint of spiciness. It can be a very unique appetizer!
❤️ Grilled Pumpkin with Massaman
Pumpkin combined with curry sauce and Thai condiments provides a flavor reminiscent of coffee sauce and miso. I usually enjoy steaming pumpkin as it’s sweet, but this little creative twist made the pumpkin's texture much richer!
❤️ Coconut Pancake & Grilled Shrimp with Southern Style Curry Sauce
This is my favorite dish! The coconut pancake has a filling similar to mochi in the center and is incredibly fragrant! The shrimp on top has some crushed pomelo, creating a perfect experience with a lot of textures and flavors in each bite.
❤️ Doughnut with Pork Curry
What’s special about this is that the bread is really doughnut dough! Paired with the pork, I'm quite impressed with the chef's imagination!
❤️ Aunglo's Moo-Ping [Grilled Pork]
This dish is also super tasty! The pork is perfectly grilled and infused with flavor. There’s even a raw egg yolk underneath! Mixing it all together makes it melt in your mouth—absolutely delicious! If you're coming here and don’t order too much, I personally think this dish is a must-try!
Overall, if I return to Bangkok, I would like to try other items because the chef's creativity is excellent, the flavors are rich, and the taste buds are fully satisfied. It’s even visually interesting, and the prices are really sweet! I highly recommend this restaurant—hopefully, everyone will get a chance to try it!
It was a very popular Thai restaurant even on a weekday!
I recommend it because you can enjoy Thai cuisine at a reasonable price. 🇹🇭
【Atmosphere of the Restaurant】
As soon as I walked in, I noticed the unique smell (of Thai cuisine?)! It might be a bit much for those who are not accustomed to it, so be cautious! There are large tables for groups and smaller tables for 1 or 2 people, making it an easy place to enter.
【Food Evaluation】
We went with five people this time, so we were able to share and try various dishes! My favorites were the fried pork and the sweet and sour soup! Personally, I wanted to try Massaman curry, but it wasn't on the menu, so I enjoyed coconut curry instead. The curry had chicken in it but lacked other ingredients, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.
【Overall Evaluation】
The prices are quite reasonable, so I personally recommend going with a larger group to share and try different dishes rather than going with just a few people! Even someone like me, who isn’t great with spicy food, enjoyed it, so I think anyone can casually enjoy Thai cuisine! ✨
This restaurant is very popular on various websites... It has been recommended by many celebrities and influencers~ It even has a remarkable record of receiving a Michelin star! So if you don’t make a reservation, it’s basically hard to get a table…
I made my reservation two weeks before departure~ Once I stepped inside, it gave off a strong retro decor vibe. The staff was very enthusiastic, and there was absolutely no need to worry about communication issues 🦜. The waiters were constantly observing our situation; even though there were many customers, they were on point with taking orders, clearing plates, and serving dishes 🥬.
We casually ordered a few dishes based on our preferences~
❤️ Scallop Salad
The taste was quite special~ It had a hint of lychee sweetness, paired with Thai spices... similar to a light fragrance, and a bit of coconut coordinating well! I didn’t expect scallops to be prepared this way, and since the scallops themselves were very fresh, the overall dish was delicious!
❤️ Pork Belly
When I took a bite of this dish, I was amazed by the crispiness of the pigskin 🐷, but it was actually a bit hard, and I found the overall flavor to be rather heavy. Even the accompanying white rice felt a bit too salty; I couldn't really eat it continuously…
❤️ Watermelon
This dish was basically just a sprinkle of pork floss on top of the watermelon. The watermelon 🍉 itself is very sweet, which creates a salty-sweet taste. However, since the seeds weren't removed, I found it very inconvenient to eat, and as a result, I didn’t like this dish!
❤️ White Curry
This was my favorite among the four dishes. The pork was not only very tender but also very flavorful. Plus, with the rich taste of the curry, it was a very authentic Thai curry flavor. I really enjoyed the aromatic spices in it; this was the dish I most wanted to finish entirely!
Overall, I think this restaurant is quite recommendable. In fact, everything was delicious... There might be a few flavors that are slightly heavy, but I’m not someone who enjoys overly salty food, so perhaps those who prefer stronger flavors would like it even more!
First time eating at Jade City
I made a reservation for dinner on Sunday, and surprisingly, there were seats available!
I think the overall service attitude this time was okay.
🌛 Shrimp Paste Crispy Cake
So delicious!
The filling inside is packed with shrimp, really great! 😋
✅ Green Curry Coconut Chicken
Not bad, the flavor is really fragrant.
However, I think the ingredients and meat inside are a bit lacking.
🐷 Northern Thai Style Spicy Marinated Matsusaka Pork
I think the Matsusaka pork is quite ordinary, and the portion is really small!!
But my friend thinks it's not bad.
🌽 Crab Meat Corn Soup
The soup is quite good,
the crab meat and corn kernels are plentiful.
🥬 Shrimp Paste Cabbage
I wouldn't recommend this one.
I don't think it has much shrimp paste flavor…
If simply treated as cabbage, it's fine. 😂
🍚 Rice $45/person
Three types of rice to choose from, free refills.
🍮 Momo Chacha
If you join their membership, you'll receive a dessert voucher.
I think one portion is just right for two people.
It's a nice after-meal dessert.👌
This restaurant is one I discovered while traveling in Thailand during a showcase program. The host inside introduced it as an authentic Thai restaurant. If you want to taste genuinely clean and high-quality Thai cuisine, you must come here because they use traditional methods to prepare their dishes, but with fresher ingredients.
I didn’t make a reservation initially, so I thought I would take a chance and just walk into the restaurant. As expected, it was easier to walk in at this restaurant than it would have been at one of the trending spots on Xiaohongshu. The staff at the restaurant were very polite and welcoming, and the seating was very comfortable. We ordered a few dishes that looked delicious in the photos…
❤️ Chicken Satay
Satay is generally easy to find in Thailand, but I think the sauce here is made with great care. You can taste the salty and sweet notes in the sauce, and they've added finely chopped peanuts, so each bite of satay has a delightful texture! I personally highly recommend this!
❤️ Appetizer Set
This dish is likely to appeal to girls who enjoy taking photos, as the presentation is quite beautiful. However, when it comes to taste, it feels a bit overpriced, as the portions are very small and there's not enough for everyone to have a taste. Yet, the price is higher than that of the satay, making it not the best appetizer.
❤️ Tom Yum
This is a fragrant Tom Yum soup🥣 that distinctly uses a lot of fresh local ingredients. The spices are also very fresh and clean, not excessively spicy 🌶️ to the point of being undrinkable. Instead, it has a mild warmth that feels very comforting. The ingredients inside are quite abundant, with the large shrimp 🍤 being notably substantial. I personally think this dish is very worth trying!
❤️ Soft Crab Salad
This soft-shell crab 🦀 is my friend’s favorite dish. The crab is indeed fried to achieve a crispy outside and soft inside texture, and you can also taste the sweet crab meat. However, the crab legs have a bit of a batter-like texture! The accompanying green papaya salad is very flavorful—not too sour but indeed quite spicy, making you want to drink several cups of water. This papaya salad was the only dish we had leftovers of… it was really quite spicy!
Overall, I would recommend the restaurant! I wouldn’t say it’s the best Thai cuisine available, but it’s a place worth trying if you have the opportunity.
Every time I travel abroad, I really enjoy experiencing local snacks. This time, after being introduced by a local, I came to this small restaurant. Their signature dish is a bowl of small rice noodles in various flavors, which includes pork and beef balls! The serving size is only about two bites each, and a complete set consists of six bowls.
Another option is the chicken curry noodles, and there are also some small snacks, similar to fried wontons.
As is customary, I ordered the set of six bowls of beef balls. When they arrived, I did find them quite cute! There are six slightly different broth flavors, but I felt like they were actually more similar to three types because the taste wasn't very different. The colors are about three, and the broth has a slight sweetness. They pair these broths with two different types of noodles that are more like rice noodles and flat noodles! For guys wanting to fill up, it might be a bit of an issue, but if it's just for a little tasting, I think it's pretty good!
The fried wontons surprised me a bit because the skin was very crispy. Unfortunately, there was hardly any meat inside; I could only taste about ¼ of a bite's worth of meat!
As for the chicken curry noodles, I really felt there was nothing special about it. The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking; I personally prefer noodles that require a bit of chewing. These felt a bit mushy. The chicken was cooked thoroughly, and the curry flavor was quite rich, but it was just a tad too spicy—those who don't eat spicy food might struggle with it!
Overall, I think if you're in the area, it’s worth a visit, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for this.
I specifically searched online for some local snacks and restaurants that locals recommend, either from IG or Xiaohongshu. This place might be attracting attention because of its Michelin status, as some people on Xiaohongshu have recommended it. So I was also drawn to this seemingly unremarkable little restaurant!
The owner inside was very friendly, but actually, their English wasn't very good. After we entered, a local customer told us that we could just take the menu in and order. Otherwise, we might not even have noticed where the menu was! In the end, we ordered our dishes using photos. We ordered…
❤️ Pork 🐷 Curry Noodles
I think it might just be a matter of habit; people here are used to cooking their noodles very soft, so I wasn't quite used to it. I felt the noodles didn't have much chewiness, and if left too long, they'd get even softer. What's special is that they add a bit of fried noodles on top, so with each bite, you get two different textures! The curry flavor is relatively mild, with a bit of spiciness 🌶️ and a hint of sweetness, and the taste was fairly standard, without too many surprises!
❤️ Fried Spring Rolls
This dish was actually better than the noodles. The outer skin was crispy, and the filling had some vegetables, but the seasoning was quite special! I felt this dish was overall more enjoyable!
Overall, I wouldn't specifically go back to this little restaurant again. If I happened to pass by, I might just grab a spring roll, but I probably wouldn't even go back to that area!
