The Place Where Asians Meet

One day, 2 lovely Asians decided to meet up and have lunch after work. And the perfect venue? Simply Asia (Northwold), of course.

I met up with an old friend at this local restaurant recently. Actually, it was not so local to me as I had to travel more than 10kms to get there. Both my friend and I have never been to Simply Asia before. Nevertheless, the food was highly recommended and so we both wanted to try it.

Simply Asia is a Thai-based restaurant offering authentic Thai cuisine (duh!). They have their range of sushi and noodles, as most Asian restaurants do. My friend ordered Gai Pad Med Prik-Phao, which is chicken and cashew nuts with roasted chilli paste. Her order came with rice.

I decided to be adventurous for once with my food and ordered Woon-Sen Pad Gai, which is glass noodles stir-fried with chicken and vegetables in oyster sauce. Heard before that glass noodles were apparently fat-free :-) I was also pleasantly surprised with the size of the bowl my order came in. Wow!

So, the outcome of the eating experience was:

Chicken, nuts and chilli paste - HOT! (This coming from an Indian of course. So on a scale of Curry-ness, this spicy dish is just right.)
Glass noodles with chicken and veg - Actually cooked like vermicelli, slight twist with the nutty taste (nuts for the Chinese nut), although it could be the egg cooked crispily as I see there is no nut on my dish.

Could we pass up the chance to be food critics? I think not!
We could be Trinny and Susannah of the Food World.

Best food comes from Asia? Most definitely! But of course, being Asians, we are both totally biased.
