Lunch set: 1. Hainan boneless chicken rice Chicken was tender and boneless. Rice was full of chicken oil favour and perfectly moist. 2. Spicy ox tongue rice Favour was good and spicy. Because the ox tongue was chopped in a very small pieces, I wasn't sure if they were really ox tongue or minced pork. Could not tell the difference. Iced Thai milk tea: classic! Love it.

It tastes surprisingly good. And then prices make it even more attractive. Sure, the flavor has been modified a little bit for locality, but the basis of the flavors are all there. Services are good enough and responsive. A good local place to go for a little Thai food flavor.

Just like in Thai. The food is fantastic! I like their chicken rice and deep fried fish skin. The beef noodle is also very nice. The beef is very tasty and the soup taste so rich! Finally, have to say something on their drink. I love Thai style milk tea.
