Malee Thai and Vietnam Cuisine

When a friend invited me out to lunch in Chinatown, I suggested that we have Thai food at a stall in the Maunakea Marketplace. Malee Thai and Vietnam Cuisine is where we headed to. This stall has authentic, homestyle Thai food that is simply delicious!

Once inside, you'll normally see a line of people waiting to order. During peak hours, expect to wait about 20 - 30 minutes for your food to be prepared. Today, it wasn't as bad as usual...could it be because we got there well after 1:00 pm?

The food here is cooked fresh to order and is very reasonably priced. I ordered the pad pet(US$5.00). This dish is served with jasmine rice and a side order of lettuce and tomato. It's prepared by stir-frying your choice of beef, chicken or shrimp (I had the beef), with yellow curry paste, coconut milk and fish sauce. Added to the dish to make it more fragrant is fresh Thai basil and Kaffir lime leaf. To finish off this dish, eggplant, long beans, onions and red bell pepper are also added.

We also ordered the lad nar(US$5.00). This dish is a combination of chow funn noodles (kway teo) stir-fried in a mix of black soy sauce and yellow bean sauce. To this an egg, choy sum (Chinese broccoli) and your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp is added. The dish is served with a quite a bit of gravy.

To wash all of this delicious food down, I ordered a Thai iced tea (US$1.50).

Cool and refreshing, this hit the spot.

This is by far one of the most reasonably priced Thai food places out there. The food is authentic and fresh...and very popular! This is also one of the Thai restaurants that I go to time and time again.
