Thailand Fair in Thailand Embassy in Singapore (Last day 30 March 2009 10a-9p)

















Yesterday my friend told me about Thailand's fair in Thailand embassy in Orchard road (just beside Isetan and opposite Zara and Esprit building). So we went there after she finished working. My friend and I shared the food, we bought a lot.


We tried Mango glutinous rice S$5, oh yes the mango is really fresh and good with a similar taste like Indonesian mango (Arum manis). They just peel and cut the mango so it's definitely fresh. Choose the stall inside the food part, there are 2 stalls while the one at the outside food part sell bad mango glutinous rice (the color of the mango already changed).









My friend bought this fish cake, shrimp and crab balls. The taste is ordinary overall even though the small balls content shrimp and crab meat but it's not fresh but still edible to eat, well the price is just S$2 anyway.













I bought Pad Thai (Thailand version of fried kway teaw). They're using Thailand's special noodle that usually used for the beef noodle. The price is S$4, I bought it from the stall opposite Lerk Thai (Lerk Thai also open their food stall there). In Pad Thai, they also put raw bean sprout which is not into my liking so I didn't eat the bean sprout, and also medium cut of spring onion which is ok for me. There is only 2 shrimps in pad Thai and they also use chicken meat and last cover the fried kway teaw with egg. The taste is ok and I can smell the fish sauce.

Last I bought Tapioca with coconut milk from Lerk Thai only S$2, it's a small portion but since we bought a lot of food so it's enough for me and my friend. The tapioca is just too sweet and the coconut milk is already left too long in an open air so I wonder whether it's still edible to consume it or not, but I still ate the tapioca with the coconut milk.









I also tried the chiken wing S$1 each, really tasty, the taste was really nice because of the seasoning. Too bad I forgot to take picture of it.

I think this thai fair is ordinary, many stalls selling original products from Thailand like clothes, crafts, dried banana; pumpkin; and taro, massage oil (the smell is really strong), they even have bar garden where the guests can sit and chat in the tend while listening while the band is performing. However the band is not too good I barely understand their English song.

The food cannot be compared to the restaurant and snack stalls in Thai Village (just behind Lavender MRT) but it's still ok.
