It took me almost a year but I finally managed to drop by Thai-ger, the neighborhood Thai restaurant that used to be tucked away on the first floor of D2 Place Phase 1. Since their move to a street-level space last year, I’ve been looking to swing by — just never quite found the time.
With today being a public holiday, it was no surprise the place was packed. (the photo was taken when we were about to leave at 2).
Thai milk tea – I was curious how this stacked up against the nearly-perfect one at Soi.29. This turned out to be reasonably good but a little more condensed milk would likely strike a better balance.
Green curry with pork's neck – Pork's neck was all over the menu so I figured it must be one of their signatures. They were certainly not bad. The curry itself was creamy and aromatic, though it didn’t quite hit the same depth of flavor I’ve had elsewhere.
Pad Thai – Packed with tangy flavors, savory, acidic and spicy but maybe a little too intense for my liking. I prefer my Pad Thai on the simpler side: clean, balanced, and unfussy.
This seems to be a decent option for Thai food around here but then, their food menu could use a bit more options to warrant a second visit.
