Thaipan

i've vaguely remembered people talking about thaipan before. it's like some favourite foodie place of the easties - too far away for me! :P haha. i'm so lazy. but it's really quite ulu for me! if not for the fact that i was in the vicinity with my friends, i would never have gone there! but the food is REALLY GOOD. totally worth going :D and it's in a super strange location! like inside a condo, so you actually have to sign in to go to the restaurant -.- but the condo is really nice! it's the old condo kind of style, but the land is damn big. seriously. it's like a whole small community in there! how cool! i wished i lived somewhere like that.

anyway, let's get on to the food :P

oooh my gosh. every single dish we had here was absolutely drool-worth. really. seriously. it was DAMN AWESOME. haha okay, maybe it was the company too xD we were all going ga-ga over the food! the cereal chicken ($12) is unlike any other cereal-kind of dish i've ever tried. a generous amount of a good mix of crunchy cereal with crisply fried curry leaves and chilis splattered over equally crunchy bits of fried chicken. this dish was just GREAT :D

the french bean with dried shrimp ($14) was SO FRAGRANT, we absolutely couldn't wait to dig in! it was the first dish that came, and the smell was enough to whet our appetite. the aroma of the dried shrimp complemented the slightly blander taste of the french bean and went perfectly with plain white rice.

the thaipan jade tofu with pork floss ($9) looked like a simple dish, but was a delight to our taste buds as well. the textures of the fluffy pork floss atop tofu that had a crisp skin and soft interior, as well as a thick sauce, went well together and was delicious.

and finally!!! the star of the evening. the butter squid ($12). ohhhhh. i dont even know where to begin. haha this is an absolutely orgasmic dish!!!! a generous amount of rich, creamy, buttery SUPER DUPER TASTY sauce lovingly encasing bouncy fresh squids. the sauce is really good. must must must try it.
