Thai food comes to the Millenium city at a festival at
the oriental pavilion at Fortune Select Excalibur .Located on the 11th floor, this
place is quite and far removed from the hustle bustle of the city. The seating
is cozy and affords peaceful dining.
Chef Inder Dev
brings the flavours of the land of smiles. Offering respite from the sweltering
heat was Thai ice tea , refreshingly
fragrant due to the presence of star anise. This is also a good antidote to the
super spicy Thai fare if chillies are
not your favourite spice .Finely shredded papaya doused in that explosively
flavourful dressing (SomTam Salad) teased
my palate . Chim Chum is a popular
street food in Thailand and is served in clay pots. You choose your choice of
meat ( in my case vegetables ) and add that to the broth ,this soup is highly
recommended .
Phat Phrik Khing were
assorted vegetables cooked perfectly in
a coarsely ground garlic seasoning .The Kaeng
Phat or vegetables in Red curry were
decent and went well with my Jasmine rice. They serve three types of rice and
the one that stood out was Pineapple rice
was a fried rice with the sweetness of the occasional pineapple chunk.
Desserts definitely were the best part of my lunch. I had
been craving for sticky rice with mango pudding and was elated to finally get
some here. However what won me over was the Tab Tim Krob, so much so that I ended up asking for a second
serving.
