Much loved by night owls, this late-night Thai eatery specializes in a creative fusion of classic Thai flavors and Southeast Asian cuisine. Despite several setbacks on his entrepreneurial journey, owner Darren Lee's skills ultimately proved their worth and, following a first restaurant near Park Lane by CMP mall, he has opened this second location in the Fengjia shopping district. The comfortable interior, with seating for about 30, features bold, vibrant colors and walls decorated with energetic, unconventional motivational phrases that invite photos and social media check-ins.
The menu includes set meals for 1-4 people and recommended, generously portioned, visually appealing selections include Volcano Pork Ribs (NT$390) and rich, vibrant Lemongrass Chicken Nanyang Curry (NT$210), made with a base of aromatic spices whose flavors intertwine with the enticing coconut fragrance. There is also crispy Green Papaya Salad (NT$950) topped with a special salted egg yolk sauce; crispy Thai-
# Volcano Pork Ribs
For its foundation, the base sauce is not only bursting with colors spreading across the plate, but also exudes the aroma of coconut milk and spice mixed with savory umami, paired with finely textured rice making it an ideal combination.
Typically in Thailand, the Volcano Pork Ribs are mainly enjoyed for the sauce that clings to the bones. Here, however, the owner has reinvented this dish with meaty, tender pork spareribs that are exceptionally soft, easily falling off the bone with a gentle tug and thoroughly saturated in a robust, flavorful sauce made from lime, chili and homemade fish sauce. A garnish of fresh cilantro and sliced chilies provides additional appetizing aromas and depth, and the balance of sourness, spiciness and heat is irresistibly mouthwatering.
# Desserts and Beverages
After your hearty meal, don't forget to end with a light dessert and drink. The durian fritters are deep-fried for a golden, crispy shell with a cookie-like crunch, encasing a filling that explodes with each bite. Made with finely mashed durian and a touch of coconut milk, this dessert has a well-balanced sweetness that isn't cloying, with a pleasantly mild durian flavor and subtle, lingering coconut finish. Hand-brewed Thai milk tea and coconut milk tea are excellent dessert pairings, providing pure, fragrant flavors that blend beautifully with sweets.
這間深受夜貓族喜愛的泰式宵夜餐廳,主打結合經典泰國風味與創意南洋料理。老闆李杭彥,在創業路上雖經波折,但實力證明之下,他先在勤美商圈附近開店,後來拓展這間位於達甲商圈的二店。店內裝潢是休閒南洋與充滿朝氣的混搭路線,色調鮮明;空間舒適,可容納約30個座位。
餐點提供單人至4人套餐,推薦菜色包括:火山排骨(390元)、香茅雞肉南洋咖喱(210元)、香脆可口的混蛋青木瓜搭配特製鹹蛋黃醬汁(95元)、泰國女媽蛋(95元),還有泰式酥脆慵懶餅(110元)。每道料理的擺盤份量皆相當吸睛又有誠意,堡是濃郁香料
# 火山排骨
為基底的咖喱醬汁,不但色澤飽滿且散發出椰奶與辛香料交織的香人香氣,搭配粒粒分明的米飯再適合不過了!以海鹽撒鹽的父婦蛋,搭配獨特羅望子醬汁,一入口即是酸甜開胃的滋味。
一般在泰國品嚐到的火山排骨,多半著重於吸取骨頭的醬汁風味;而這間店則在名廚的巧思下,改以肉量豐富的軟肋排呈現。肋排軟嫩、輕輕一撥即可脫骨,整份料理浸潤在以檸檬、辣椒與特製魚露調製而成的濃郁醬汁中,完整吸收湯汁精華。表面鋪上新鮮香菜與辣椒片,不僅提香,也讓整體風味更立體、酸香辛辣,令人食指大動。
# 甜點與飲品
飽餐後建議以少量甜點與飲品沌淋味蕾,榴槤外層炸得金黃酥脆,如餅乾般爽口,一口咬下不肉脆立刻爆漿。將榴槤打成細緻泥狀,加入少量椰奶提香,甜而不膩,榴槤風味不會過於濃重,尾韻則留下淡淡的椰奶香氣。
另外,手標泰式奶茶與椰香奶茶的純香風味也非常適合搭配甜點喔!
