Eating Out: Thai Express at Banjara Road No 3

I should have written about this much much earlier because for us, this is not just another restaurant. It is a reminder of our initial days in this new city.

The service apartment where we stayed at in our first month here was just a few minutes away from Thai Express. It was great that if we had wanted a break from Indian food, there was a very convenient option just right by our doorstep.

Though it was familiar food, we did not eat there often until the hubby fell sick to his first bout of diarrhoea. It then became our canteen for those few days because it had a clean toilet which is important if we had decided to eat in. But it was the Chicken Tang Hoon ball in Soup with Glass Noodles  - our ultimate comfort food here when feeling sick that kept bringing us back.

Drinking that rich piping hot broth just comforts that upset tummy or a drippy nose.

Our Comfort Food

However, on a normal day when we visit, our favourites are the Clear Seafood Tom Yum Soup, Stuffed Tau Pok, Olive Fried Rice and Spicy Minced Chicken Stir Fried with Basil.

The Tom Yum Soup is a must have for us both as the strong sour taste together with the spiciness of it really whets your appetite and give you a real kick.

Most of the dishes here tastes quite close to what you will expect in a Thai restaurant and even the drinks like Thai Ice Tea and Chendol are also up to the mark.

Prices here are reasonable compared to the other restaurants in the city but do note that their food portion is good for one, not too suited for sharing.

So with good ambience, friendly staff and close-to-authentic Thai food, I am giving it my two thumbs up!
