Joe's Thai Kitchen

My great idea to lunch here (Blk 125, Bukit Merah Lane 1) ends us up in a desperate parking situation but all ends well when we arrived to find the restaurant only half-filled. That's one benefit of late lunch :)

With the very reasonable pricing of an Thai eatery, there's much dishes we wish to order. We narrow them down to three dishes but without my dessert of Mango Glutinous Rice as the owner had honestly told us that their mango had yet ripen for serving.

I was famished, but still photo-taking comes 1st; in the order of serving:

Belacan with Brinjal ($6)

Brinjal was deep fried before stir-fried with Belacan. Average taste but great if you love Brinjal like me, i like them wetter though.

Seafood Tofu ($4)
A tasty surprise that such simple dish could offers. Juicy pieces with just the right amount of seasonings.


Tilapia with Special Chilli Sauce - Medium ($12)

Fish was well-prepared and doesn't have any trace of the usual 'mud' taste that comes with Tilapia fish. Crisply deep-fried, i was practically 'bone-eating' away.

Sweet chilli sauce topping that was delicious to start with, proved to be an overkill towards the end of our meal. Still, we much enjoyed our meal here. Friendly service, simple dining environment with effort prepared food at very competitive pricing.

The spicy index here was so much lower than our usual Thai cuisine though, but it no doubt would be great for families with little children who can't take spicy food.

Come my next visit, i would request for an elevated level of spiciness!
