Absinte @ Boat Quay

The much anticipated restaurant week during the last week of October saw me visited one of the best restaurant in town which is Absinte. The four course dinner look tempting so I make my reservation during the early bird period. Another reason being I had come across this place during my walk along Robertson Quay and it leave a good impression to me with the way the guests were treated. After arrived at the place, we walked a flight of stairs which was a bit tiring. Then, we were ushered to our table and started to make our choices. The appetizer was scallop with ponzu dressing, pear and pomegranate. The soup was lobster Bisque. The main was braised wagyu beef in red white wine and lastly early grey crume brulee as dessert. All the food taste excellent. YUMMY! The next restaurant week, I will book this place again.

Nakhon Kitchen @ Bedok

Today, I am going to recommend a Thai restaurant in the east side of Singapore. The name is called Nakhon kitchen. It is situated below HDB block. It is very popular and long queues were always spotted. There were approximately 10 to 15 tables and they do not take in reservation. In order to have the food, you need to be there early to avoid the long queue and cash payment only. This will be the brief introduction of the place. I was there on a weekday around 9plus. The store was actually closing so I was their last customer. After looking through the menu, I decided to order Phad Thai, seafood tom yum soup pandan chicken and deep fried honey chicken and Thai milk tea as my drink. The food was here pretty fast so I go for phad Thai as my first dish. Good! The Phad Thai was nice. recommend to try. The Tom yum soup was a little spicy for me ( my level of spiciness was limited) but shiok. The deep fried honey chicken was decent as well except for the pandan chicken which was a bit disappointing. Maybe is near to closing, the chicken taste not that good. I will give them a second chance if I visit them again. I have a feeling I was at Bangkok after drinking the thai milk tea. Lastly, I want to say is it is a very authentic thai restaurant and one of the best around.
