Originally wanted to order a set meal for two, but felt like there weren't many specific items I particularly wanted to eat, so I later chose to order à la carte. Although the set meal is indeed cheaper, if the options don’t include things I really like, then it’s not worth it.

I almost always order lemon fish and minced pork with basil whenever I have Thai food, and this time was no exception. I also ordered sautéed vegetables and satay.

The lemon fish was perfectly tangy and appetizing, and they even helped to remove the fish bones. No wonder this restaurant has been selected by Michelin; they really pay attention to detail.

As for the sautéed vegetables, it’s unfortunate that this Thai restaurant doesn’t offer shrimp paste, as I personally don’t really like the taste of shrimp paste. The stir-fried vegetables were quite plain without it, but there’s no option for shrimp paste here.

The satay was larger than I expected and had great portion value, but unfortunately, the meat was a bit tough.

In the department store restaurant, the prices are usually not very low. Additionally, since it is considered a star-rated restaurant, the price point is reasonable. On Tuesday evenings at six, you don't have to wait for a table.

They offer a couple's set menu, but the dishes I like are not included, so I didn't order the set. I ordered a la carte, which meant a bit fewer dishes (no drinks or desserts). The prices are similar and still acceptable.

This time we ordered:

• Thai Basil Pork (normal, no customization) $320
  Quite spicy but really delicious and goes well with rice. If you're afraid of spice, you can ask for less.

• Lemon Fish (less spicy) $520
  The reduced spiciness was just right. The broth is perfect for mixing with rice or for dipping with satay—it's also delicious! The lemon fish is a must-try in Thai cuisine. Here, they remove the fish bones. There’s a reason it’s expensive. 😍

• Shrimp Paste Water Spinach $225
  It’s pretty ordinary, but they don’t have cloud paste here, so the shrimp paste is not bad to eat. Personally, I’m not a big fan of the shrimp flavor.

• Pork Satay $350
  The portion was surprisingly large; I thought it would be a small serving. At first, when eating it alone, it's sweet, and it feels like eating a sweet snack. I'm not joking—it really is like that! It’s not shawarma mistaken for a sweet snack; it genuinely tastes like a sweet snack. 😂 But it's delicious. Due to being on a skewer, I couldn't dip the remaining pieces into the sauce, so it was easier to use a fork to pick them out to eat.

• • Rice $45 per person (all-you-can-eat)
• • Sour Tamarind Juice (one cup, member gift)

The rice had the perfect texture; Thai rice is really delicious. The sour tamarind juice was also refreshing and not too sour.

For the two of us, the total was around $1500 + 10% service charge, making it $1656 overall. We ate very well, and the quality was truly nice. 👍🏻
