So all that was yesterday for dinner. today for lunch, i went up a place near by, in central also, called cafe siam. cafe siam is thai cusine. if you think simon had enough of thai food (thai spice), well i haven't yet. haha. i ordered two things. the first thing i ordered was tom yum gong fried rice. tom yum gong is originally a soup with chicken, lemon grass, coconut juice and a few other spices and ingredients. however, what made this dish funky was, practically, they took the soup and used it as a sauce to make fried rice out of it. with two prawns on top of the fried rice, the taste was as expected. a bit spicy and sour as usual. interesting overall. so if you like the taste of tom yum gong a lot, u should definitely try this out. the other dish i ordered was chicken green curry. i've ate green curry from all over the place before and this HAD TO BE, the best green curry i have ever had. first of all, green curry usually consist of thai bail leafs, choice of meat, some coconut milk and green curry powder. i believe, a lot of the times, restaurants tend to save money and not use too much coconut and green curry powder, and replacing it with a bit more water, the curry gets diluted a bit. in cafe siam's green curry, my experience was a very strong, distinctive taste of all the ingredients within the dish. nothing was left out of my taste buds. in the end, it's definitely a place i will come back to.
