Patara Fine Thai Cuisine @ Raffles City (Part 2)

We tried 2 different kinds of rice as well. Crabmeat Rice and also the Black Olive Rice.
We like the Black Olive Rice better. Maybe its because it has those fragrant pieces of meat. :-)



For the veg, we ordered the Aubergine. It's Aubergine stir-fried with shrimp paste, chilli and basil. Sis is tasked to cook eggplant until it taste like this. haha... I like basil fried like this.



Green Curry is ordered when our uncle joins us. He likes green curry, so do all of us!
Chicken green curry with aubergine and sweet basil. Ingredients almost similar to the top one! But it taste so different.



If you are like us, want to try it all, you will order the Mix Grilled Platter.
It has the grilled Australian Sirloin and grilled Pork Neck, with Essan style glutinous rice. I don't know what Essan means, but its the thing wrapped up in the green leaves.



We have the option to pay an extra $7 for the desserts buffet, but we could not eat anymore. Maybe another time. Wonder if they have only dessert buffet without the mains. hehe..

How much? Not posting the receipt as they still print the full credit card number on it. (err time to update system and print only the last 4 digits please...) $215.40 Quite all right for 5 and provided excellent service and food.

Patara Fine Thai Cuisine @ Raffles City

Sunday afternoon, we thought of trying Thai food at Patara. My guest blogger did post it once and said the food was good.


So came here because we had a $40 voucher. Err. come to think of it, that voucher is enough to off set the Service charge and GST only! haha...

We truly enjoyed the food there. Fine table cloth and nice plates. They changed plates after our starters too. Realised they are particular on how the plates are laid in front of us. The patterns are placed correctly.




5 of us were there. Tried the Ice Lemongrass Tea. 3 of us took this, 1 hot lemongrass tea and at the back of the picture, 1 watermelon juice for the kid.



We ordered stuff that has a recommendation mark on the menu.
This is wraps that we ate. It's called Miang Kam. It has betelnut leaves wrapped over minced chicken salad, peanuts, chilli, lime, onion and ginger.



This is Porpia Pak Ar, Thai tacos served with stir-fried minced chicken, prawns, tofu and beansprouts. We liked this very much.



The soup on the menu looks tempting, so we ordered 2 of them.
This is the Fish Maw Soup. Sis and Aunt loves fish maw, so they enjoyed it lots. It comes with quail eggs in it.



We also had a Seafood Tom Yum Soup. Photos came out too too blur, so it's not appearing here. hehe.

What else did we have? See tomorrow's post.

Sawadeka - Say it in Thai

You can guess from the title that its Thai food today. Had dinner at Patara Thai tonight. What a feast we had! This is the plate that we were served on. Pretty plate eh?



We started with appetiser, which was indeed appetising. Very interesting combination of Norwegian smoked salmon with pomelo salad.



Main course started with honey pork ribs. There is a more glamorous description to this dish, but err, the guest blogger forgot. Its fried with lots of garlic and black peppercorn, oooh so, yummy.



Here's the vegetables dish. For someone who does not eat much brinjal, this is good. The glamorous name: Aubergine stir-fried with shimp paste, chilli and basil.



There was a last dish, but guest blogger was too hungry to take time to shoot it. Thank you to Unagi and Panda for the company.
