Halifax Food Review | Is This Thai Restaurant Worth the View?

📍 Thai Ivory Cuisine | Lakeside Thai Vibes in Bedford 🌅 Ambience: 7.5/10 Prime Location: Floor-to-ceiling windows frame picturesque Bedford Basin views (golden hour insta-worthy!) Decor: Bold yellow wallpaper + Thai lanterns, though some furniture shows wear Best For: Casual lunches/photo ops with friends 🍜 Food Review: 6/10 ▪️ Hainanese Chicken Rice Critical flaw: Rice not cooked in chicken fat 😱 Chicken: Lean breast cuts (gym-friendly), slightly overcooked Saving grace: Homemade chili sauce packs authentic heat ▪️ Pad Thai Americanized version lacking fish sauce umami Sparse toppings (just bean sprouts & peanuts, no shrimp/tofu) 💡 Pro Tips Order smarter: Stick to tom yum/curries (neighbor's green curry looked promising) Timing: Weekday 3-5PM for crowd-free lakeside selfies 💰 Value $20-25/person – you're paying $10 for the view 🌟 Final Rating: 3.8/10 ＞Overrated at 4.4 on Google, manage expectations ＞Better alternative: Talay Thai downtown for authentic flavors #HalifaxEats #ThaiFoodReview #ViewWithAFood
