Saak Thai



This, I think, is a nice little thai restaurant, which offers good value for good food hehehe I can't quite remember what my friends had and although I am one to try out new things usually at a restaurant I've never been to, I really wanted Pad Thai that day, so I just went with the safer option hahaha





This might look like a small portion...but it was really filling! Although I wiped my plate clean... others couldn't really finish the portion that they had! And (from memory) most things were under 10 bucks!
The pad thai was really nice! It wasn't TOO spicy and wasn't TOO sweet, because in my experience, some pad thais tend to swing one way or the other and you really get sick of it after a while. Also, some can be very oily. But this one didn't have that effect, rather I was able to finish such a big plate as well without having felt like that was too much to handle or sick of it, which makes it a good pad thai.



I also had a coconut drink, which was probably the most overvalued item on the menu... XD It wasn't anything special, yet it was more than $3... maybe I'm just a cheap asian hahaha Though on that day, I didn't really quite mind, because I really wanted a cold drink and I haven't had a coconut drink in a long time, so it was quite refreshing! Having said that it was the most overvalued thing on the menu though, because this place was pretty good value, the coconut drink really has a high expectation to live up to hahahaha
Overall, Saak Thai is definitely one thai restaurant people should try. The setting is very casual and the staff are helpful enough, so you feel at ease while you're eating. I'm glad the tourists who were peeping outside decided to go in eventually after seeing the leftovers on our plates, because they were definitely not left over because the food was bad, but rather it was too much and being a group of girls, there was no helping it XD
