After a day of shopping for Chuf's stuff, we ended up in Bugis and we were contemplating between Porn's and Itacho Sushi for dinner. Decided on Porn's after judging the expression on Chuf's face when I mentioned both restaurants.
Pirate Captain Chuf
Cha Yen - $3.90 (4/5)
Thai-styled iced tea. When the drink arrived, Chuf was like "This one like no lemon one eh?". So for the iced lemon tea lovers, this iced tea is a milk tea, not lemon tea. The tea is much sweeter than our standard milk tea, so people with a sweet tooth would probably find this to their liking.
Tom Yum Gai - $8.90 (5/5)
Looks like some herbal chicken soup, no? It doesn't look spicy at all, right? Don't judge a soup by its colour! Those with a low tolerance for spicy food will definitely miss out on this awesome soup. This soup is a flavour burst! Sour when you first taste it, sweet after the sourness subsides, then the spicy-ness kicks in.
Pad Thai Talay - $10.90 (4.5/5)
DIY Pad Thai! Don't like spicy? Like spicy? Don't like peanuts? Like peanut? Add in your preferred amounts. Chuf thought I added too much of sugar but she said it was not that bad afterwards. ^^v
According to Chuf who ate the dish, the Pad Thai is light and not oily, which is how a Pad Thai should be. She liked that the tau gays were clean, without the leafy ends and that the squid is Q Q, easily chewed, AND THE SHELL-LESS PRAWNS! [sic]
Green Curry with Chicken (Gang Kaew Gai) - $10.90 (5/5)
Decided to order a curry dish as we passed by a Japanese curry rice restaurant (when we were in Bugis) and I was so tempted to eat there! So instead of Japanese curry, I got myself Thai green curry instead.
Being the mountain tortoise (sua ku) that I was, it was my first time trying the Green Curry and I had no idea how it would taste like. Turns out that Green Curry is sweet and not so spicy.
The tender slices of chicken that came with it were succulent and Chuf mentioned that the brinjal seems to have absorbed the sweetness of the curry and were very soft and juicy. The curry was quite thick, but as the dish got colder, it got a wee bit watery. No issues there though, still as delicious, especially when paired with rice.
Despite the fact that the restaurant was almost full, and there were only 3 waiters, the service was very prompt and our food arrived in less than 20 minutes from the time we ordered. Porn's is definitely worth the try and guess what, they have 4 other outlets! So do check them out!
