Bali Thai @ NEX Shopping Mall

Met up my girlfriend at NEX for dinner, had no idea what to eat and happen to pop by Bali Thai which is tucked at a corner at level 2 so we decided to try it out.

Not much crowd during dinner time, the restaurant are quite cozy but the food can be served quite slow. We ordered their Tom Yum Soup, Shrimp Paste Fried Rice and Phad Thai.

Tom Yum Soup - Kinda of special when I saw this Tom Yum Soup serve in a claypot. I requested not so spicy because I can't really take spiciness but still a little too spicy for me lols. But overall it is still nice.

Shrimp Paste Fried Rice - I love this and seems like I will always ordered this whenever I ate at a Thai restaurant. The fried rice is too moist but it is very fragrant, remember to go with belacan chilli it will taste even nicer. The sliced chicken was sweet and tender but the fried shrimp was over fried and too hard to chew lols.

Phad Thai - My girlfriend ordered this but I never tried. Smell very frangrant and nice too and the portion are quite big too.

Iced Milk tea - Thai iced milk tea are very different from our local style they taste more milky and stronger taste of the tea.

Oasis Taiwan Porridge @ Toa Payoh

Been here for supper once, is next to Toa Payoh Swimming Complex as for parking wise you may park in front of the complex and walk over. Heard they have another outlet at Kallang but it was closed down already.

They have indoor and outdoor seating but the outdoor are only open in the evening. The pricing of the dishes I will said is quite steep. The teochew porridge is serve in a small pot in regardless how many person you have, you can always ask for another pot if you want to. My friend who had been here a few times told me it depends on your luck on the porridge that you get. If you are lucky you will get a pot of porridge with nice and sweet porridge with soft sweet potatoe inside which they had boil for quite a while if not it will be like me, my luck isn't good I never get to tried the sweet porridge just the plain porridge with semi soft sweet potatoe lols.

And we ordered Sliced Fish with Spring Onion, Braised Pig Intestine with Salted Vegetable and Cold Beancurd with Century Egg to go with the porridge. Total bill comes up to $35 for 2 person with a few dishes which I feel that is kinda of expensive. I think by coming in a bigger group will be more worth it, it will be a nice place to return for supper.

The Menu

 Teochew Muay (Taiwan Porridge)

Sliced Fish with Spring Onion - To me when I heard Sliced Fish it should not have any bones but this does and not just one and also the fish are not fresh, it has a very smelly fishy smell in it.

Cold Beancurd with Century Egg - I like this, the beancurd is smooth silky and chill. The sweet and saltish sauce goes well with the egg and beancurd

Braised Pig Intestine with Salted Vegetable - The pig intestine is properly clean with no stinky smell, is soft and not rubbery, nice.
