Siriwan Thai Food (Golden Mile Complex)

If you enjoy thai food yet do not want to fly thousands of KM to thailand, theres always the little thailand in Golden Mile Complex. We settled for Siriwan amidst the many other small diners in the mildly air-conditioned mall because our dearest friend mentioned that they have one of the best Mookata's amongst them all. So we sat at one of the outside the coffeeshop seats and were shortly served the menu by a young looking auntie with funky red hair which looked thai but speak superb mandarin.

She shortly set up the hot plate for us and our Mookata (thai steam boat) stuffs came in a huge plate. For $39 you get a good portion of seafood like squid and medium sized shelled prawns, chicken and pork with pork lard in a small bag, various veg, some pig liver and mushrooms, vermicelli and an egg to fry with.. The set up was fun.. its a dome shaped looking plate with a drain filled with savoury soup surrounding the entire plate. You can choose to grill the ingredients or stuff them inside the soup to get it poached (this is what we did with the egg by the way). The food is yummy, though it makes you shirt smell a little smoky... and i must say got for 2 big eaters...

While we preferred a little more prawns because it tasted so absolutely yummy, mushroom coz the savoury soup made it heavenly and the most unexpected vermicelli like angel's hair was too good immersed in the soup and animal fat to not have an extra serving. We also tried a couple of the other stuffs like the Phad thai which is really spicy and yummy, basil with minced pork was wicked with the tiny chilli bombs, mango salad was tangy and appetizing and we also spotted something extra special... Blood cockle salad which is something i didn't dare to try yet looked curiously yummy. Apparently those who ate it loved it and swear to come by again....

Looks like my weekday get together dinners are gonna be thai food most of the time. For a big eater group of 5 chattering ladies... the bill came up to be $113 which includes everything plus no service charge and gst.... Good deal and loving it... Be sure to be back for more...
