E-Sarn Thai Cuisine: Diving into Pad Thai Chicken and Tom Yum Soup

 


Tucked away in the vibrant streets of Pasir Panjang, amidst charming shop houses, lies a culinary gem that beckons food lovers with the promise of authentic Thai gastronomy. E-Sarn Thai Cuisine stands as a beacon for those in pursuit of genuine Thai flavors. Recently, the food adventurers from YumzYumz embarked on a quest to explore the nuanced tastes of two of E-Sarn’s specialties: the Pad Thai Chicken and the Tom Yum Soup. Here’s a recount of their delightful journey.

Pad Thai Chicken: A Mixed Bag of Flavours

First off, the Pad Thai Chicken at E-Sarn Thai Cuisine is a spectacle of flavors and textures. Expertly stir-fried, this dish showcases flat rice noodles that are subtly zesty, with a hint of spiciness that tantalizes the taste buds. Moreover, each forkful is a textural delight, thanks to the crisp chives and crunchy beansprouts. Furthermore, the inclusion of stir-fried eggs weaves in an eggy nuance, enriching the dish’s complexity.

However, traditional Pad Thai is celebrated for its perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavors, a harmony this rendition slightly misses with its lack of sweetness. On the other hand, the chicken, while generously portioned, tends towards being dry and slightly tough. Conversely, the tofu cubes present a redeeming texture, offering a springy and satisfying mouthfeel.

Priced at $8.50, this Pad Thai might not claim the top spot among its peers, but it certainly offers a commendable option for an economical Thai noodle fix.

Tom Yum Soup: The Showstopper

Additionally, the Tom Yum Soup, available for an extra $2, steals the spotlight effortlessly. This soup is a brilliant concoction, striking a perfect balance between sour and spicy, every sip bursting with precision and flavour. Not to mention, it's brimming with a generous amount of squid and prawns, making each bite a discovery of seafood delight. This dish’s depth and vibrancy make it an unforgettable part of the meal, significantly overshadowing its noodle counterpart.

The Verdict: Worth Every Penny

In conclusion, at a total cost of $10.50 for a hearty portion of Pad Thai, a refreshing drink, and a sumptuous bowl of Tom Yum Soup, E-Sarn Thai Cuisine presents an unbeatable value. While the Pad Thai Chicken might have areas for improvement, the Tom Yum Soup exemplifies the restaurant’s prowess in delivering spellbinding Thai flavours. Consequently, for those venturing through Singapore in search of a taste adventure, a visit to E-Sarn Thai Cuisine offers an enticing dive into the essence of Thai culinary traditions.

Amidst the competitive culinary landscape of Pasir Panjang, E-Sarn Thai Cuisine carves its niche, promising an exploration into the rich, complex flavours of Thailand. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado of Thai cuisine or a curious explorer eager to delve into new taste experiences, this restaurant offers a journey filled with surprises, satisfaction, and most importantly, delicious revelations at every turn.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
