First Thai Revisited @ Purvis Street

menu

It has been a long while since I last visited First Thai, their rigid rules still stay through the years – no seating and waiting unless all is present and the last order stands at 915pm and get hurried to pay up at 10pm.

The last remaining customers. 

papaya salad

Papaya Salad ($8)

This thai favourite is supposed to be refreshing and tangy but their was a tad raw and lacking in punch. 

pandan chicken wrapped

Pandan Chicken ($12, 4 pcs)

pandan chicken

Ordinary minced chicken.

lemon fried chicken

Fried Chicken with Lemon Sauce

Yet another ordinary fried chicken dish without any nostril numbing spices. 

tomyum soup

Tom Yum Seafood ($16, medium)

The straw that broke the camel’s back – yes it was spicy and fiery but just did not seem as memorable as it used to be. 

coconut drink

Fresh Coconut Drink ($3)

Refreshing drink with sweet coconut flesh.

I wonder why I am going through the hassle and hurry of dining there when the quality of food has taken a sharp nosedive.
