Sa-nook: The Thai Express


Location: Clementi Mall, Singapore

We were just strolling around in our neighborhood Clementi Mall and spotted the Thai Express restaurant. A blown up menu of its special offerings on the restaurant glass made us realize that it did serve vegetarian options. (Here is a selection of their veg. menu). Impromptu, we decided to give it a try.

Here is what we tried from their vegetarian menu:

Tom Yum Hed Nang Fah (Tom Yum oyster mushroom soup)
This was hot 'n' spicy! But they had the freshest mushrooms and cilantro in there and the broth had this lemony tang and the zest of lemon grass. The aroma was just so pleasingly oriental ... almost calming to the mind. I thoroughly enjoyed it!



Spageti Phad Kee Moa Kaab Pak (Thai-style stir-fried spicy spaghetti with vegetable, tofu and Thai herb)
As stated on their menu this was spicy!!! Actually way too spicy but it did have delectable flavors. It opened up the taste buds with the hotness and after a time I started to enjoy it while my taste buds ignored the hotness. They served the dish with powdery sides of chilli flakes and groundnut which was something new for me.


And, a chilled glass of iced tea to cool off some of the hotness. Again this had the lemon grass flavor which made it different from what you get in India. The refreshment it offered was worth my money.




Vegetarians: Here is another veggie option for you in Singapore! Has anyone tried Thai Express anywhere? Do share what you tried...
