ThaiPan

SO here begins my weeklong of feasting! too bad only have photos for this, the rest of the places are just waaaaayy too dark =( what a pity!
The only good thing was that there is a 20% discount with civil service club!
Everything can be described in one word, SALTY!

the butter squid which was highly recommended by reviewers was very salty, maybe becos of the salted egg yolk, but nevertheless it is too salty, especially since we did not have white rice to go with it, we had the olive rice instead.

The broccoli with crab was also very salty =/ I mean it isnt too bad, but well, just too salty for our tastbuds.

Honey chicken: too dry and tough, nothing special

Herbal frog leg was so-so, not fantastic, tasted much better herbal soup even in coffeeshops.

We had the toufu with golden mushroom instead of the recommended toufu with chicken floss, maybe we should have gone with whatever that was recommended, but wanted something lighter, not fried, so opted for the golden mushroom, it is again a rather ordinary dish.

Pad Thai: also not very good, tasted more like normal fried kway teow/mee/kway teow goreng.. whatever, it resembles nothing like the Thailand version of padthai. Maybe because it is too sweet, too much ketchup? Well one thing is they should have used the thai lime instead of the usual small dark green lime. I think the thai lime would have given it a distinctive fragrance.

Finally Olive rice: For $1 what more can i ask for? it is not bad i must say, although no taste of olive, but for $1 it is a steal! I like the idea of having mince meat at the side to complement the rice.

Maybe maybe I would go back again someday and give it a second chance, maybe maybe maybe it was just today that the food somehow just wasnt able to live up to expectations.

hmm btw can someone enlighten me, why is my photo soooo yellow?
