Monkey Thai Seafood


Late dinner, we were combing the Telok Blangah Market & Food Centre for food... going row after rows of hawker stalls till a gaze of hopeful light greets us - a new Thai Cze Char that's only been in operation for 6 mths.

They should be good with seafood - else the signboard wouldn't say so? But alas, crabs ($30 per kg) got sold out, followed by all their fishes ($16 for whole fish)! We had to re-write our order, making a mental note to come earlier nxt time.

Monkey Fried  Chicken ($4 for 5 drumlets)

This seems to be a must order since the dish was named after the stall - Monkey. And it was not bad at all, of deep fried chicken drumlets coated with crushed peanuts, melon seeds and black sesame!

Sweet-toothed alike me finish the drumlets with a generous drizzle of the oriental Mandarin sauce while my mature partner preferred munching on its pure nutty taste ;)

Asparagus with Prawns ($5)

Was told the chef might be working a little too fast with the asparagus - it should have been a drier dish. But never mind, the sauce was tasty and none overly salty, nice.

And the Asparagus, sweet and refreshingly crunchy.

Black Pepper Beef ($6)

We always enjoyed Beef; and this peppery fare helps emptied our rice bowl ;)

Monkey Thai Seafood is now operating from Mei Ling Food Centre, #02-07. Just spotted the stall this morning, as the hawker is getting ready for the day.
