During my "absence".. my friends told me that they went to this Sawadee Thai Restaurant at Medan Ipoh to try some of their special dishes. When I heard Thai food, first thing that came to my mind was the Tom Yum. I had my share of that too when I was at London Old Street, but of course, the prices and the taste, please do not compare. So I silently said to myself that once I am back in IPOH, I must "attack" the Thai food to my full satisfaction!
One fine evening, my friends came to fetch me and off we went to Sawadee Thai which I had not been before. Looking forward to savoring the hot and sourish Tomyum.... but little did I know that it was so Fiery Hot that I could not even finish my own share of the soup! How could it be? Yes, I am not a Hot Stuff but so far, I normally takes at least two bowls of Tomyum without any rejection... But I admit Defeat on this particular soup.... *white flag*..... hmmmmm..
I call this ... Super Fiery Tomyum!
I wonder what they put in to make it so fiery HOT...
It was still "burning" in my tummy when the dinner was over...
I better give this a skip the next time...
Even one of my friends were feeling the same like I did...
*Something to do with our age!*
Another sourish dish... I shouldn't have ordered both sourish dishes...
Wrong choice I made....
But on top of that, the mango kerabu would be great if there were more dishes...
Since there were only three of us, we ordered these three dishes only...
Thai Fish Pancakes....
This is the only dish which I could eat without fear of the cilipadi...
And the total bill came to around RM70 for the three dishes...
So much for my cravings for Thai food...
Next time I will stick to the steamed fish Thai style..
Safer for my tongue and all....
LOL....
Oh my, your poor stomach! I have never known you to give up on any dish, it must have been on fire!
ReplyDeleteIt is just me only... others might find it not spicy enough.. for me, it was super!
DeleteI saw the big prawns, hehe...
ReplyDeleteYes, there were several inside.. :)
DeleteHot and fiery Tom Yum soup is my top favourite. Always lifted up my mood and wagged my tongue! LOL
ReplyDeleteFuiyoh!! Now I can still remember how fiery it was!
DeleteTom yum. I couldnt resist it too.
ReplyDeleteCareful of the cilipadis.. hahaha
DeleteI love Thai!! The kerabu, the fish cakes...ooooo...I'm drooling all over!
ReplyDeleteI love Thai food too... but have to be careful of the small cilipadis!
DeleteLots of onions in the tom yum. I like the kerabu and fish cakes.
ReplyDeleteThey are appetizing dishes...
DeleteI also cannot take very hot and spicy food so I understand the burning sensation in the mouth and stomach, ouch!
ReplyDeletehahahaa... we have something in common here!
DeleteThat spicy, huh? I heard that in Thailand it is like that. Super power hot. I don't think I can tahan also.
ReplyDeleteHave to standby some cold drinks...
DeleteSo next time, must remember to request for lesser hotness for the tom yam. If it is too sour, then I better skip the mango kerabu. Go for milder dishes or else our tummy and tongue will suffer.
