Thai Food @ Nakhon Kitchen (Kovan)

Sister: There's a very popular Thai restaurant near my father-in-law's house leh.

Me: Is it? Good or not?

Sister: Very nice! Next time we go lah.

Before the "next time" took place, bloody Mediacorp featured Nahkon Kitchen in one of their numerous food shows and the very next time i passed by the Thai restaurant, its popularity had heightened significantly with a freaking long queue!!!

As the equation goes:

Long Queue = Good Food

With this unscientific equation etched on our Singaporeans' heart, the Kon-Tan couple and me decided to try it out last weekend!

For me, it's the second visit (remember, my sister promised me)!

The queue did not disappoint as we queued for more than an hour outside the limited seating dining facility!

Here's the amount of food we had for 3 persons!!!

Green Curry Chicken

It was milky without being too thick and spicy. Good for me but i am not sure if it will be awarded the same testimonial from Ms Hannah Lim, a chilli-crazy person.

The chicken was soaked with the goodness of the green curry and every bite was tender and delicious!

Stir-fried Kangkong Thai Style

Personally, this was like the "malay glory" with a more numbing spiciness. Me didn't like it!

Tom Yam Seafood Soup

Clear base was chosen (there was a thick version and another type with coconut milk) and i found this to be a bit mild.

Initial taste was disappointing as i thought it was plain seafood soup. The kick came shortly after!

Sweet and Sour Pork

Not exactly a pure Thai dish (we know that!).

It was average (had definitely better ones before) but the vegetables were really fresh and crunchy!

Red Fish with Thai Chilli

The meat was too fishy.

Fortunately, the sauce drenched over the fish was good and the fish skin was fried to a crisp!

Pineapple Fried Rice

For a plate without much pineapple, we did not regret making a last minute order for this dish!

It was just too tasty!!!

Boneless Chicken Wings

 We had to order this dish after seeing it on so many tables!

 It was okay. I prefer my chicken wings to be filled with the original content... without the bones.  

======

Setting us back by only S$51 for so many dishes, it was definitely a good deal! I shall be back if the wait is not as torturing!
