Thai Wi-Rat

Thai Wi-Rat!

This was my Boyfriend's choice and the only time thus far that he has won scissors, paper, rock against me. We use it to decide on decisions I am too undecided to make as I then immediately know where I want to go.

Their news article?

Its a little place located in China Town behind all the yum cha restaurants, in that street behind the TCB building that has all the banks in it. Its located in a cool shady spot, with lots of tables inside to eat and it always seems to be quite full whenever we go past there.

We ordered our food, grabbed a number and sat down with our drink. One drink, I wasn't interested in anything in particular so I drank my Boyfriend's. He got this apple and pineapple crush drink, I've seen it around quite a bit but never felt interested enough to get it. Its because it doesn't taste fantastic, it's apple and its pineapple but the combination of fruits isn't an outstanding one like say mango and orange or apple and blackberry.

Bleh
There's an extensive alcohol menu, entrees, grilled stuff, salads, fried noodles, noodle soups, stir fried, curry, lunch special and banquets options. Here it is. The lighting was a bit odd, so it gave all the photos a particularly bluish tinge.












I got this fried noodle mix up consisting of flat rice noodle with dark sweet soy sauce which had the unpronounceable, gyay teaw pad ce aw, beside it. It also had bits of onion, egg, broccoli and bok choy. Its a simple and slightly greasy looking dish but it took a long time for this to come out. I'm guessing it was probably about five minutes after the other dish came out and we waited about forty minutes for that too. A lot of customers came in after us, were eating before us and left too before we even started.

Stir fried noodles!
I didn't really like stir fried noodles, my Boyfriend did though. It had a very, very slight charry flavour but the greasiness of the noodles was a bit off putting to me. As was these raw pieces of chicken that I found. When the waitress came to pick up our plate, she didn't comment on this at all nor did she ask how our meal was.

Dun dun dun
My Boyfriend got this chicken laksa. He didn't it, I liked it though. There wasn't really much in it to be honest, it had rice noodles, chicken, carrot, broccoli pieces and that's all I remember eating. It was a delicious savoury, coconut creamy soup with a sour tamarind tang. We probably should have swapped dishes.

Yummy!

Atmosphere: 6, cool, airy, typical Asian takeaway. He gave it an 8, because there was a cool water fountain
Service: 4, meh. Got our food, obviously didn't like our meal but nothing was said.
Food: 4, because of my uncooked chicken. Otherwise maybe a 6? It wasn't great but it was very cheap. Thai Wi-Rat on Urbanspoon

  1. Thank you for this review. I found the section on your apple and pineapple crush drink very informative. Keep up the good work.

  2. It's an odd drink isn't it? I always see it and I wonder if I should try the other drinks in the brand.
